Crema's Take

This Saint Paul neighborhood gem strikes the perfect balance between serious espresso craftsmanship and laid-back comfort, with thoughtfully curated specialty drinks like rotating chai tea options that go beyond the typical coffee shop menu. The vibe is genuinely welcoming—think privacy booths for focused work, dog-friendly seating, and music that hits just right—making it equally suited for solo laptop sessions, business meetings, or a casual hang with friends and their pups. While their single-origin beans come at a premium, regulars rave about the quality and the consistently excellent service that keeps them coming back.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Wifi.

We've been a Dogwood fan since the beginning but haven't been back to the Cities often enough. Excellent coffees got an Ethiopian single origin to take home...pricey but one of top 5 coffee beans I've had. The proper cup sizes for each drink is very nice too. The location decor…
