Crema's Take
“This Venezuelan-inspired coffee shop in Pompano Beach brings serious warmth and character to every visit, with a team that genuinely remembers your name and order. Beyond their espresso-focused drinks, they're known for authentic arepas, cachapas, and empanadas alongside solid all-day favorites like avocado toast and breakfast skillets, all served in a clean, vibrant space with carefully curated music and decor. It's the kind of place where you feel like a regular from your first visit, thanks to staff like Fabricio, Leanne, and Esteban who treat hospitality like an art form.”

Amazing spot with a great vibe and a very varied menu. As a Venezuelan, I loved seeing arepas, cachapas, empanadas, and tequeños on the menu. They also offer solid all day favorites like avocado toast, pesto chicken sandwiches, quesadillas, and açai bowls, plus great coffee options like lattes, café con leche, and cold brew. We grabbed freshly made lemonade and Venezuelan cheese empanadas to go since we were heading to the beach. Perfect stop before the beach. Now we’re enjoying them right in front of the ocean. It’s also a great place to study, do some light office work, or have a casual business meeting. Definitely coming back to try more from the menu.
I've gone to this coffee shop several times and the staff there is spot on. They remember names and preferences ... today I was particularly impressed by a new staff member, Antonio, who came over, cleared my table, noted my name and checked on service. (Everyone else has been great too.) I talk to a lot of business owners lately and a common challenge is staffing. This little shop has it nailed! Plus, the coffee is good too. (I haven't tried the other food, but it looks good ... and I see they have a nice following.) I'll often stop in for a cup after the nearby LA Fitness gym ... and get some work done on their WiFi. Stop by there if you're in the area ... and support local small businesses too.
Hidden gem in Pompano Beach area! Amazing tiny little Venezuelan coffee spot! Loved their coffee & decor! They had a Pan de Bono of course I had to give it try and it had a perfect amount of cheese that most places in Miami don’t. I wish I got more! The breakfast sandwich I wasn’t a fan but the eggs were nice and fluffy. Staff were very helpful. They have an iPad where they have pictures of all their items. So that helps plenty! I’ll definitely be back to give it a try on other food items. HIGHLY RECOMMEND their coffee!
Fabrício and Leanne are so kind, amazing customer service and very attentive! Food is delicious, I’ve had the breakfast burrito (forgot to take a picture) and the bacon egg & hash skillet. Very flavorful and yummy with good serving sizes! The chai is delicious as well, they have a couple different versions (traditional, a thicker milky one & a frappe) and they’re all spicy and warm. Perfect for getting in the fall mood. Price to serving ratio was reasonable considering the area. Will definitely be coming back!
We love coming here so much. They have great food and drinks. The place has an awesome vibe, it’s always very clean, and the music is always on point. The staff is amazing! Esteban, Melissa, Fabricio, Leann (we also miss Agatha). They’re all super friendly and super attentive. I highly recommend the Venezuelan arepas and the cappuccinos! My wife really enjoys their matcha drinks and basically their entire food menu. Perfect place to have brunch, work on your laptop, or even play some board games.
