Crema's Take

This charming converted house in Columbia has mastered the art of making you want to linger, whether you're settling into the cozy interior or claiming a spot on the outdoor porch with your pour over or espresso. The real magic is in the quality—their coffee is smooth and rich enough to drink black, and they've clearly put equal care into their seasonal creations like the Christmas edition and matcha offerings, plus a solid food program with sandwiches and salads that match the coffee's caliber. It's the kind of place that feels like a friend's living room but with the skill and intention of specialty coffee done right.

I got the chocolate covered strawberry cold brew. My friend got a double shot of espresso. The drinks were very delicious and the atmosphere was fun. I also got a chicken caprese salad sand which on a croissant that was small but tasteful. The workers didn’t seem very enthused to be there calling out names half-heartedly almost disappointedly. But it was Valentine’s Day so maybe they were tired because of how busy it was. Overall good experience and good location.

A very nice woman treated me to a coffee x a sandwich, very tasty 😋 the coffee was there Christmas edition. Any time you can drink the coffee without sugar or cream it's great coffee! The sandwich was a bagel creamchz sausage egg it hit the spot and the portions were spot on, although this was a treat I viewed their prices and I would pay that for a cup of Joe and a bagel lol 😆 they gained a customer whenever I am able again.

The food and matcha I've had here in the two times I've visited has been delicious! The place is very quaint and cute and a great location. Service was good as well, quick and efficient.

This cute little house of a coffee shop is just what I needed today!!! You can enjoy the outside porch or sit inside.We chose to sit inside where it was cool! Either way it was really a cool vibe! It’s spacious enough to find a little nook to work in. We ordered the Turkey Provolone on a Croissant, Croissant with Peach Preserves, Iced Cookie Butter Latte with Almond Milk, and a Chai Tea Latte. All of which were delicious!! The croissants were soft and buttery and peach preserves were the business!! I wish I could have purchased some to bring back home with me!! The service was good no complaints!

I recently visited this charming coffee shop, and it’s easily one of the best I’ve been to! The coffee is absolutely delicious—rich, smooth, and just the perfect amount of sweetness. You can tell they put real care into every cup. The location itself adds so much character. It’s nestled in an old house, which gives it a cozy, welcoming vibe. The beautifully aged wooden floors creak softly underfoot, adding to the nostalgic charm. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with a great cup of coffee. Whether you’re catching up with a friend or enjoying a quiet moment on your own, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
