Crema's Take

This Washington, DC spot has mastered the art of the açaí bowl with a creativity that keeps regulars coming back for seasonal favorites like their Pumpkin Pie Bowl, while their skilled baristas (Theresa and Lucas are especially praised) also nail specialty drinks like PB&J smoothies and the trendy Dubai Chocolate Bowl. The vibe strikes a perfect balance between quick grab-and-go convenience and leisurely sit-down comfort, complete with a welcoming patio where you can linger with your pup, making it equally suited for a rushed weekday coffee run or a leisurely weekend brunch.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Dog friendly.

Theresa And Lucas are great employees always taking care of me and my husky with well made pbj smoothies. Very attentive to details and customers needs. Please provide them with a bonus well deserved
