Crema's Take

The baristas here are genuinely invested in making your coffee experience memorable—regulars rave about specific names like Benji and Naomi, and they've earned a reputation for going above and beyond, whether that's rescuing a forgotten phone or perfecting a dirty chai. Their cold brew and specialty drinks are the real draw, though consistency can be hit-or-miss depending on the drink (some find their seasonal lattes overly spiced or unbalanced). It's a solid neighborhood spot for a leisurely coffee and pastry with solid breakfast options, best visited when you're craving the people factor as much as the coffee itself.

What to expect

Cold brew standout. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

I came here before class on a Saturday morning (9/27), and I encountered a super nice barista (I didn’t get his name) but he made me the best dirty chai I’ve had in a while. The toast with fruit I got was delicious too. I hope to return again while that team works because they…
