Crema's Take

This espresso-focused spot surprises visitors with far more than just great coffee—it shares a building with an art gallery, creating an unexpectedly cultured vibe while you wait for your drink. Baristas here take real pride in their craft, consistently pulling balanced cappuccinos and cortados that satisfy even discerning palates, with thoughtful milk options like almond milk available. It's the kind of place where you might pop in for a quick pre-shopping caffeine fix and find yourself lingering over the artwork, charmed by genuinely warm service.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

I popped in to Not Just Coffee for a quick cortado (which was delicious hence why I started drinking it before I remembered to take a photo), and discovered that they not only have great coffee, but a beautiful art gallery as well as a men's clothing store that carried some…
