Crema's Take
“Forma Bakery is Temescal's beloved gathering spot where intentional design meets genuinely excellent vegan pastries and laminated croissants that deserve the lines out the door. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee and sourdough or settling in for a slow morning, the warm, thoughtful space and friendly staff make it feel like a place you'll return to again and again. It's the rare bakery that manages to be both a destination for serious pastry lovers and a genuine community hub.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
