Crema's Take

This cozy downtown Portland espresso bar has earned genuine devotion from regulars who praise the baristas' thoughtful recommendations and the unexpectedly excellent food—those bacon breakfast burritos and veggie crepes keep people coming back. There's a rare warmth here that feels intentional rather than performative, with spacious, comfortable seating that works equally well for lingering over a meticulously-pulled espresso or spreading out your laptop for the afternoon. It's the kind of place that transforms a rainy day or a chaotic downtown visit into something quietly restorative.

I just love this place! The food is good, and their shakes are fantastic. Everyone there is really nice and welcoming. I had veggie crape and a triple berry shake

This cafe is a shining light in the chaos of downtown. It’s a quaint little spot with really sweet people. Customer service was top tier. Bacon breakfast burrito was the best I’ve ever had. My friend got the blended fruit bowl and we thought it would be prepackaged but the barista blended everything right in front of us. I tried it and it tasted so fresh. Amazing vanilla latte and the beans are roasted to perfection. Just such a sweet little place. Highly recommend.

This place is absolutely adorable! Came in on a rainy day and the service was quick and friendly, and the food and drinks were delicious.

Whenever I’m in Portland, I come here for great coffee and amazing service. The barista is what makes this place worthwhile. Thanks to her recommendations, I not only get great drinks when I’m here, but I also can get the coffee beans they sell! This is my go to on Saturdays!

Great little coffee shop for caffeine delights and something to eat. Friendly awesome service and the seating area is quite spacious and comfortable. I had a triple espresso and a egg and sausage and cheese bagel. Both were outstanding !
