Crema's Take
“This newly opened Leland gem has instantly become the community's go-to specialty coffee destination, with baristas like Jake who genuinely light up talking through the menu and crafting personalized recommendations based on what you actually like. The space itself is a thoughtfully curated sanctuary filled with books and plants that makes you want to linger for hours, whether you're settling in with your laptop or meeting a friend, and the espresso-focused coffee is smooth and excellent enough to justify the enthusiasm in every single review. It's the kind of place where the owners clearly poured their hearts into creating somewhere special, and the welcoming energy of the staff matches that intention perfectly.”

We were in the area and wanted a good cup of coffee. Found this cafe and we were not disappointed. The burista was the best! We asked for recommendations and the coffee was excellent and smooth, not too sweet and no bitter taste. And I loved perusing the books and admiring the beautiful large selection of plants for sale. We'll definitely be back ❤️.
Finally! A locally owned, non-chain place to frequent in Leland. So much thought went into making the space the perfect atmosphere. Books, plants/supplies, workspace options, and of course hand-created coffees and drinks. Great service and suggestions from the baristas. Thank you for bringing this to our town. 5 stars is not enough!
The local coffee shop Leland desperately needed and it does not disappoint! Jake gave the best recommendation based on the flavored coffees I like and explained the menu so well. I highly recommend trying the Pam’s Version. I’ll be there every week!
Oh my goodness! What a perfect addition to the L.A. community! The books, the plants, the vibes, I'm obsessed! Jake was so excited to tell me about the menu, and I really appreciated how he took the time to explain it to me! Will be going back for another Pam's version!
Brand new and already such a gem! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the coffee is amazing. Since they just opened, there may be a few small hiccups, but that’s totally expected and worth giving a little grace while they get settled. The atmosphere is inviting with books, greenery and even rooms to work from if you’re a work-from-home person and need a change of scenery. Definitely worth checking out!
