Crema's Take

Tucked across from Children's Hospital, this spacious spot strikes a welcoming balance between quick coffee runs and lingering work sessions, with creamy house-made soups and customizable sandwiches that locals genuinely look forward to. The chai lattes with oatmilk and fresh pastries draw a steady crowd, though the kitchen can get stretched during busy hours—it's the kind of place where you might wait a bit but leave satisfied, especially if you're not rushing in near closing time.

Was a bit disappointed. Came in 45 minutes before close. No grilled food available only cold sandwiches. Only had veg. chili left. Took quite a while to get a cold sandwich & a bowl of chili. We were the only customers in there. I've been here before the food is generally good. This was not very good this time.

Creamy Onion Soup and Chili were very good. Most soup comes with at least bread or crackers and neither were in the bag. Extremely delicious chai latte with oatmilk.

Dropped someone off down the street and was looking for somewhere to hang out and work. First time visiting. Located across the street from Children's and the Medical College. Spacious, quick service, Happy they have Valentine's Coffee, and Rishi Tea but not enough electrical outlets. Nice bakery and breakfast items.

The food and drinks were very delicious. I got the BYO ham sandwich on white bread with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and a side of chipotle sauce. You have the option of a cookie or chips. This was a little over $10 and it was worth it! The workers even bring out your food to you and every time I’ve gone there it’s been a pleasant experience.

Stopped by on my way back from running errands. Big line to order but I guess that's a good thing showing they are popular. I got the cobb salad trying to be healthy and an iced tea. Everything was very fresh. Nice presentation of the egg, cheese, and tomato decomposed. They have Wi-Fi for loitering as needed. Did see parking was rather full though on way out. Liked some of the signs of about conservation.
