Crema's Take

The butterfly pea flower drinks here are genuinely inventive—naturally color-changing teas and lattes that feel more like edible art than a typical coffee shop order. You're really coming for the hybrid Thai-cafe experience anchored by house-made syrups and killer brunch food (the fried rice is unforgettable), so arrive hungry and expect to linger in the whimsically cozy space with people who actually want to be there. Easy to miss in a Silver Lake strip mall, but regulars treat this owner-run spot like their personal discovery.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

We are a mid-western family who loves to try new places. So happy we ate here. Atmosphere is quaint, charming, and inviting. Food was impressive — Egg rolls & sauce were hot, crunchy, and fresh. Chicken pad thai was THE BEST I’ve ever had. Steak & egg crepe came with a small…
