Crema's Take

This freeway-accessible drive-thru espresso stand has built a loyal following among California road-trippers who appreciate its convenient location and friendly service. While the coffee itself is solidly executed with both traditional espresso drinks and creative specialty options, the shop's most distinctive draw is its approachable, welcoming atmosphere that keeps travelers coming back on their routes up and down the state. It's the kind of casual spot where you can grab a quality caffeine fix without fuss, making it a reliable pit stop between destinations.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. Quick-grab spot. Parking available. Drive-thru.

Espresso with a big surprise! I was driving through Bakersfield to Las Vegas and needed some wake-me-up caffeine. So, I drove towards where I thought I remembered a drive-through coffee shop of a certain brand (It was not Bottoms Up!), and I pulled over as soon as I saw the…
