Crema's Take

This Scandinavian-inspired bakery wins hearts with its exceptional cardamom buns and seasonal pastries that deliver real craftsmanship—crispy edges, aromatic spices, and careful technique shine through in every bite. Beyond the pastries, they nail the full breakfast spread with quality ingredients like smoked salmon and fluffy eggs paired with well-balanced coffee, making it equally strong as both a quick grab spot and a lingering meeting place. The cozy atmosphere and thoughtful Scandinavian approach to baking create a warm refuge where you can taste the care in every detail, from their matcha chocolate creations to their savory breakfast plates on rye.

Yummy goods! Latte and cappuccino were decent! Loved the cardamom bun and seasonal pumpkin donut. Spinach pastry and fig danish were well made as well!

We got the cardamom and cinnamon bun and they were quite good! However, the server couldn’t heat up our food. We also noticed after that there was a fly in the display case, which was very unappetising.

Really solid breakfast. Savory and correctly curated. I enjoyed the breakfast plate with smoked salmon, salad, and rye bread. I wish i lowkey got a soft scramble instead of a soft boiled but it was delicious regardless. Service was good and super chill. I wish the service was a wee bit more organized ( just put the plates in front of the incorrect people or didn’t aak who the plate was for) as this left us to reorganizing the dishes around the table- which is not bad but kind of annoying but that’s just me!!!! Arnold palmer is on lighter side and not overly sugary which i liked but also could’ve had a more sweet arnie !

Breakfast sandwich was really great, it was huge. Egg was really fluffy and avocado spread and sauce was really tasty. Coffee was also great and well balanced with bread. I am not big fan of cardamom flavor but cardamom bread was still good, I enjoyed. It was very moist inside.

Delicious pastries at a cozy spot! The cardamom bun was a highlight - wonderfully fragrant with the distinct cardamom warmth, plus perfectly crispy edges that add such nice texture. The matcha chocolate chip cookie runs a touch sweet but still hits the spot if you're craving something indulgent. The dining space is fairly tiny and gets packed on weekends. The coffee service is also a bit slow - our latte took about 15 minutes and was fairly basic, with just foam and no latte art. Keep that in mind if you’re visiting during peak hours!
