Crema's Take

This charming Somerville spot brilliantly blurs the line between French bistro and specialty coffee destination, winning over guests with inventive drinks like their acclaimed St. Germaine Espresso Martini alongside creative small plates that actually deliver on the promise of a fun, unpretentious French experience. Big windows flood the space with light and openness, creating an inviting backdrop for both lingering coffee dates and celebratory dinners where the real magic happens in unexpected flavor combinations and genuinely attentive service.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
