Crema's Take

This beloved Oakland neighborhood spot is a craft-focused espresso destination where the owner clearly obsesses over creative flavor combinations—think muddled mint as a sweetener in their pistachio cream coffee and a signature salty dog latte that keeps regulars coming back. Beyond the inventive drinks, their made-from-scratch breakfast offerings like oversized breakfast wraps with homemade chimichurri and perfectly executed egg and cheese croissants make it an ideal quick morning stop, and it's refreshingly dog-friendly if you're grabbing coffee with your pup before heading to nearby Fairyland.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Dog friendly.
