Crema's Take

Bread, Espresso & transforms throughout the day—a serene Japanese-inspired bakery café perfect for lingering over carefully crafted espresso drinks and French-influenced pastries during afternoon hours, then shifts into a wine bar come evening. The shop is beloved for its authentic atmosphere, knowledgeable baristas, and signature creations like their matcha latte (featuring subtle, quality matcha) alongside pillowy Japanese milk bread that locals rave about, making it an ideal quiet refuge steps from Hermosa Beach.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Open late.

Bakery Cafe during the day and Wine & Dine Bar in the evening. Excellent French-inspired Japanese baked goods. A nice quiet place to spend a leisurely afternoon over coffee drinks near the beach.

When they first opened, the line was too long to try, but now that it has calmed down, we finally got to visit. Growing up in Japan, this style feels familiar to me, but my friend who was born in the U.S. was impressed by how beautifully the breads are displayed and how they are…
