Crema's Take

Tucked in Gahanna, this warmly staffed spot celebrates East African coffee traditions alongside creative espresso drinks, with their signature Somali Tea earning particular devotion from regulars. The pastries are genuinely excellent—reviewers rave about everything from almond danishes to beef sambusas—making it feel less like a coffee run and more like stepping into someone's welcoming living room where the owner actually wants to chat with you.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
