Crema's Take
“This beloved Middleton spot excels at crafting excellent coffee with impressive flavor depth alongside creative signature drinks that keep regulars coming back. Beyond the stellar brews, they've built something special with their all-day waffles, thoughtfully composed savory options like their standout fig, goat cheese, and honey sandwich, and a warm, conversational atmosphere that works equally well for solo work sessions or family outings. With nearly 950 glowing reviews praising their balance of quality drinks, food, and genuine hospitality, this is the kind of neighborhood café where both your morning coffee and the experience of being there feel intentional and care-filled.”

I was impressed from the first sip! The coffee here is excellent, with amazing flavors and plenty of options to choose from. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—bustling with conversation and thoughtful patrons, yet comfortable for settling in. I love the historic charm of the decor, and the staff are genuinely attentive and friendly. This place has quickly become a favorite. Highly recommend!
Second time in a week. Great spot to talk on the outdoor patio. They have waffles all day and lots of other veggie dishes.
Drinks, food, customer service, and atmosphere are wonderful! I highly recommend their fig, goat cheese, and honey sandwich! The price was pretty good for drinks and food items as well. My friend’s latte was only $6 and was 16 ounces (a large mug). The fig, goat cheese, and honey sandwich was only $7.50, and had four pieces! The Twist (caramel vanilla latte) and the Haight Ashbury (vanilla and real cloves) latte was absolutely delicious. I believe the second latte above is a seasonal item. The coffee shop was well decorated and was a great environment for studying. Their patio is nice as well. We will definitely be coming back!
I went on a rainy Saturday. The shop was busy and bustling, but the service was still very quick. The indoor area is small and a bit loud all things considered. If you come on a rainy day or a cold day and don’t want to sit outside you might want to have a backup plan for somewhere to sit. The breakfast sandwich I got was fantastic and the coffee was really smooth.
We were in the area, and came in as a family to get some drinks to go. Our kids ordered smoothies which they found were really good, the strawberry banana and the orange mango. We ended up getting some iced coffees to go, and they were good. Coffee's came pretty quickly. Place had some open seating, but it was pretty full for a Saturday morning. The patio in the back only had a few people, so there was some room back there. The employees were really friendly and helpful.
