Crema's Take
“This chocolate-forward café executes an impressive range of chocolate drinks that go well beyond standard hot chocolate, making it worth a detour if you're serious about cacao. The pastries and cookies are exceptional—regulars swear by the chocolate chip cookies and milk chocolate turtles—and the staff's baking chops shine throughout a genuinely small space that smells like heaven the moment you walk in. Come for unhurried sitting time with someone worth lingering over coffee with, and expect genuinely kind service even when they're managing an off day.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.
