Crema's Take

Perched right on Hampton Beach, this year-round surf café serves up genuinely fresh breakfast and lunch with a notably strong coffee program, drawing loyal regulars for their açaí bowls, burritos, and pastries alongside traditional espresso drinks. The beachfront patio location is unbeatable for a lingering morning with your dog or a family gathering, though arrive early or expect a pleasant wait—the line speaks to how seriously locals take this spot. It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself returning multiple times across seasons, whether you're fueling up for a beach walk or settling in for a slow sit with a quality cup.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

Ordered their breakfast sandwich twice. Once I ordered online and it was super convenient. The sandwiches were good but the bagel was a bit burnt both times.

Beachside café with a nice patio and great food. We came here early on a Sunday morning while taking our dog for a beach walk. Since it was the only place open in the area, we initially thought it might be a tourist trap. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the whole…
