Crema's Take

Tucked into Ferndale's charming area, The Fern strikes that rare balance between cozy third-place vibes and serious coffee craftsmanship, with genuinely ample seating that actually accommodates groups and laptop workers alike. Their matcha drinks have earned genuine devotion from regulars, and the staff goes the extra mile—literally calling ahead to reserve tables and offering personalized recommendations that hit the mark. The space itself feels intentionally warm and curated, the kind of spot where you settle in for hours without feeling rushed.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Wifi.
