Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Fort Wayne, this charming 15-year-old spot has perfected the art of the cozy gathering place, with a beautiful aesthetic that keeps regulars coming back for leisurely afternoons over coffee and pastries. Beyond solid traditional espresso drinks, they're known for creative signatures like their S'more Mocha and an impressive tea selection including Apricot Oolong, paired with surprisingly excellent housemade food—Italian sandwiches and paninis that elevate what you'd expect from a coffee shop. The genuinely warm staff and abundance of seating make it ideal whether you're meeting a friend for brunch or settling in with your laptop, creating that rare "third place" feeling that nearly 1,200 five-star reviews celebrate.”
What to expect

My friend and I wanted a good place for brunch and found this local treasure. The staff immediately when walking in welcomed us and asked us whether dine-in or to-go. We sat down at one of their many tables. They immediately gave us menus and asked us if we had any questions. We…
