Crema's Take

This long-running donut shop makes legitimately excellent maple bars and fresh pastries that locals swear by, but you're taking a real gamble on staff attitude—some visitors report genuinely rude service and complaints about order size, while others have warm experiences. The 3.5 rating reflects inconsistent execution more than inconsistent product; the donuts themselves are solid, the place is clean, but the variable friendliness and occasional friction on busy days means it's a decent quick breakfast stop only if you're in the neighborhood, not worth a dedicated trip.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The donuts and bagels were freshly made. Their service was good. The place was kept neat and clean. The person in the counter was very pleasant. It is a nice place to start the day with a delicious breakfast. Probably adding fresh squeezed fruit juice would take their menu to…
