Crema's Take

This beloved Colorado Springs spot blends café and lounge vibes with genuinely creative offerings like horchata lattes and carefully composed dishes such as Ultimate Avocado Toast with jalapeño dressing and pickled onions. The staff's warmth and care shine through in both the presentation and taste of every item, while the cozy lighting and mix of live music events make it feel like a hidden gem worth seeking out. Whether you're settling in with your laptop, meeting friends, or grabbing a full breakfast, the flexible ordering system and thoughtful atmosphere invite you to stay awhile.

My friends and I love this place! When you walk in, there’s option to order electronically at the kiosk or in person with the barista at the register. Everyone on staff is SO nice! I really like when i get the chance to talk with them. Reyna (one of the baristas) gives great recommendations- she showed me to my new favorite order! Thank you! I also really enjoy when Lilliana is around, her energy lifts me up! Thank you! My favorites to order: chicken soup!!! 🥕 it’s seriously so nourishing and yummy. Their hot chocolate is also super tasty, they give you little cookies with it 🥳🍪 On a hot day, I always order their mango 🥭 smoothie and they deliver it in a super fun tall glass with a little drink umbrella! I also really enjoy their cold brew, however sometimes they don’t have it in stock ): and lastly, the music can be loud at times, so just be prepared for that- occasionally I sit outside or put in noise cancelling headphones. only one time was it too distracting for me and i did leave that time. Even still, I come here when I can! The people and the food are both great 💛 Also it’s so cool that you can host events here! I’m excited to come to more social gatherings here

This experience was amazing! We ordered the Ultimate Avocado Toast; toasted sourdough bread topped with mashed avocado, feta cheese, sliced chili, and olive oil – jalapeño dressing, and pickled onions on the side. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We also tried the Lavender London Fog and the Dulce de Leche Latte, and both were absolutely delicious 😋 perfectly balanced and beautifully crafted. The atmosphere was very relaxing, with soft music playing, plenty of natural light, and a chic interior design. It’s such a great spot to unwind and enjoy a quality meal. We will definitely be returning! 👌

Great newer addition to COS! Nice mix of cafe & bar lounge with good cocktails. I got the horchata latte & the carnitas pupusas. The vibe was warm & the cozy lighting here is lovely. I think it’s a good spot for meeting up with coworkers. They also have a meeting room in the back which would be a good place for happy hours. The latte was good and the pupusas were tasty. The only thing I’d recommend changing is not putting the toppings on the pupusas (so they stay crispy and not soggy). I think the toppings should be put on the side.

One of my favorite coffee shops by far. It’s a little hidden gem. The staff is so kind and put a lot of love into everything they make. The presentation and taste of the food as well as drink was great. 5/5 🤩. Definitely went back two days in a row. I loved the aesthetic and the vibes.

I visited this location on Saturday, November 29 for the live music event. As I walked in, it looked like a really quaint place to enjoy coffee, food and music. It did not disappoint. I ordered the taco plate and a chai tea latte. It was very good. The service was amazing and the atmosphere was very calming and peaceful. I will definitely visit again.
