Crema's Take

This Charlottesville gem pairs locally-sourced, thoughtfully-prepared food with a full coffee menu in a relaxed setting perfect for lingering over breakfast or lunch. The kitchen shows real skill with standout dishes like their famous fried potatoes and eggs Benedict, while the staff strikes that rare balance of being genuinely friendly without rushing you out, and occasional live music adds to the welcoming neighborhood vibe. Just know the quality and local ingredients come at a premium price, but regulars swear it's worth every penny for the care that goes into every plate.

Very expensive for a counter sales place. At the time we ate there, their online menu created sticker shock at the counter with some items $4 to $8 more than we expected. My wife had a salmon plate that was not on the online menu. A tiny piece of salmon for the $24 but was…
