Crema's Take

“This Portland gem feels like stepping into a European wine bar, where creative drinks and inventive small plates are served with the warmth of a place that actually knows your name. The owners are hands-on and passionate, crafting everything from killer Espresso Martinis to sourdough grilled cheese that guests swear is the best they've ever had, all at prices that feel almost too reasonable for the quality. It's the kind of spot where you instantly feel at home, whether you're settling in for a slow afternoon or meeting friends over freshly made pastries and in-house desserts.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
