Crema's Take

Csca Cafe is a Cambridge gem where meticulously crafted pastries and desserts steal the show—think perfectly balanced passion fruit creations and a standout Santa Hat pastry that pairs beautifully with their specialty Ice Matcha. Beyond the Instagram-worthy baked goods, they've earned genuine affection from regulars for fair pricing, thoughtful touches like their own delivery system that actually protects your order, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger over breakfast or an afternoon treat.

Absolutely AMAZING. Been here a few times now. Drinks? Great. Fancy desserts? Phenomenal. Pastries? Delicious. Bon bons? Not my favorite, but still solid. Prices? Very fair; perfect for a sweet treat. Will definitely continue to support CSCA! 😋 Edit: Have tried a few different fancy dessert places since CSCA — CSCA remains my favorite (the tartness/brightness/vibrancy of flavors is unmatched).

Had the pleasure of sampling their amazing pastries, and though both of them were great, the Santa Hat paired perfectly with the Ice Matcha, both flavors were on point, highly recommend that specific combination. Came here on a Sunday, the ladies were very nice and efficient when it came to handling our order. Beautiful pastry presentation, nice small cafe for anybody to enjoy while dining in or take out just like we did.

Got delivery (they have their own system… YES. No uber eats thank god!!!). A star for this. Then - my order came in one piece. Not smooshed or ruined. You’d be surprised how often this happens lol. Tracking and communication was flawless. Of course the main - the flavor. Anything can look cute… but what really matters is how does it taste? Well - they’ve exceeded my expectations! The mango is the best one I’ve ever tried. Yesterday I went to a very famous shop (known for these types of fruit desserts) and they looked gorgeous and tasted horrible 😔. The flavor in these are so fresh. The tartness is perfect to offset all of the sweet. The raspberry jam in the Santa hat is to die for. The ratios are PERFECTION (I seriously despise a mouth full of mousse). The fruit flavor truly shines through and you can taste the passion put into these. Long story short - I will probably only ever order my sweet treats from here. I don’t want to support uber eats. And I love supporting local businesses. So… you now have a new forever customer! ❤️

This café is one of my favorite spots in Cambridge—I’m so happy to have them in the neighborhood! Their pastries are gorgeous and absolutely delicious. My go-to savory breakfast choice is the ham and cheese croissant—flaky, buttery, and perfectly gooey. Everything is made by talented alumni of the culinary school across the street, and you can really taste the care in every bite. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the coffee and tea options are excellent. The cozy atmosphere, along with their festive holiday decorations, makes it a perfect spot to enjoy a pastry and coffee while admiring the desserts in the pastry case — a great way to start a winter morning.

The dessert was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced—sweet without being overwhelming—and the passion fruit had a rich, deep taste. The texture was incredibly smooth and creamy, with a light crunch that made every bite interesting. It was beautifully presented and looked as good as it tasted. The portion size was just right, and I felt it was great value for the price. I would definitely order this dessert again and highly recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth. Staff were awesome. I’ll be back
