Crema's Take

Tucked along the harbor with bay views that make your morning coffee taste even better, this spot is beloved for its strong espresso drinks like the shot in the dark and creative ice blended matcha lattes that deserve a sweetness level chat with the friendly baristas. The limited but satisfying menu of breakfast and light lunch options pairs perfectly with the relaxed, journal-worthy atmosphere—whether you're settling in for a few hours with your laptop or just catching a moment of peace before heading north.

Super good coffee!! I love the shot in the dark or the Carmel sutra. I would avoid their breakfast burritos as it’s 50% tortilla :(

Found out they make ice blended matcha / latte drinks! My matcha drink was super sweet unexpectedly so might want to ask them about sweetness level.

I thought it was a perfect place to stop spend a bit of the morning with a latte and journal before continuing north to Cambria. The barista was friendly and helpful. I loved that she knew the regular people and their drinks - there is just something refreshing to hear “morning Diane your usual?”

I wish I had found this cafe earlier on my stay. I had lunch there this morning and I loved the food, the setting across the bay, the prices are great. The menu is limited but I could find something to try every day. I had the Lox on toasted Bagel and it was delicious and filling. They have great pastries as well. I’ll definitely be back before I leave.

A great little coffee shop on the harbor that serves breakfast. There is nothing like enjoying a good cup of coffee with breakfast while viewing the harbor and enjoying the outdoors. The kitchen sink wrap is awesome! The place is a favorite with the locals and always busy. Well worth a drive from Morro Bay to check out.
