Crema's Take
“This beloved West Des Moines gathering spot strikes that rare balance between bustling community hub and genuinely cozy retreat, where knowledgeable staff keep things moving even when the wait stretches long. Their creative omelettes like the Traveler's and Crab Rangoon showcase serious flavor alongside standout pastries like their famous Cinny-bobs, all backed by both traditional and specialty coffee drinks that pair perfectly with their full breakfast and lunch menus. Whether you're catching up with friends over a leisurely sit or grabbing a quick specialty drink, the consistently warm hospitality and quality food make this a spot locals return to again and again.”
