Crema's Take
“This South Portland gem punches way above its weight with thoughtfully crafted coffee that lets quality shine through without any bitter notes, paired with creative food like their standout avocado toast and blueberry waffles that keep locals coming back. The space itself feels like a creative hub where the staff treats you like family—genuinely inviting and artistic without trying too hard—making it equally perfect for a focused work session or lingering over pastries with kids in tow. It's the kind of unexpected find that becomes a destination, earning its stellar reputation as a vibrant gathering spot that somehow manages to feel both sophisticated and genuinely warm.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Really neat little spot. Super glad we ventured out of downtown for coffee. Certainly unexpected. Very cool atmosphere. High quality coffee and espresso. Not bitter. If you don't know any better you may say it's weak but not the case just smooth.
Hands-down, the best coffee shop in our neck of the woods. We love it here, the staff and owners are simply the best and you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. It’s brought so much vibrancy in life to our little community, thank you Second Rodeo for everything you do!
