Crema's Take

This beloved Atlanta diner has mastered the art of making everyone feel like a regular from the moment you walk through the door, with staff who genuinely remember your favorites and servers eager to guide you toward their personal picks. The kitchen shines brightest at breakfast, where scrambles, skillets, and perfectly cooked eggs arrive alongside unexpectedly phenomenal sides like their legendary potatoes and creamy grits. It's the kind of place where you can linger over coffee without pressure, catch up with friends over generous portions, and leave feeling like you've been welcomed into something special.

Jessica was absolutely fabulous. Gave us an incredible recommendation of her personal favorite scramble which was epic and we had an amazing service! We love this place so much. It was really one of our favorite places and all of Atlanta and trust me we ate our way through Atlanta. I had to force myself not to eat her every single day so that I could try other places so I highly suggest you go there.

Everybody said hello when I walked in and I loved the fact that I could sit anywhere. My waiter was prompt and suggestive. The food came quick and it was delicious. I was on a 10 hour drive so I loved the quick service. I went early on a Sunday. At 9am to be exact and it wasn’t busy at all but I heard some regulars say “oh it will be very busy shortly”

Decided to visit this gem on a mid Friday morning. The wait time was 15-20 minutes. The service was great and the food was bomb. The opted for Catfish and Grits. I mean it was so flavorful. The fish was seasoned to perfection. I also split French Toast with a friend. Definitely worth a try if your in the Atlanta area.

The food was AMAZING the potatoes were OUT OF THIS WORLD, I wish I lived closer to go all the time... the over eggs were cooked to PERFECTION! I was watching the books the whole time at the counter and they work their butts off and deserve recognition for presenting such amazingly looking and tasting food they should be proud of them selves! With love all the way from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Went as a group. Service was ok, the male server never checked on us after our food was delivered. I ordered French toast and the Skillet Heap with chicken sausage and it was plentiful and really good. Someone ordered a pancake and it was huge, it really was like a cake!! Couldn't eat it all, it was a lot. The multi grain biscuit was so good. Prices are good for the portions that you get. Atmosphere is good, you can havea conversation without yelling. Restaurant is a little small so a really large group would be cramped. We had 8 people and it was tight. Parking... There's street parking and 2 lots. We were there early so was able to park in front of the restaurant. This is my favorite location and I've been coming to this one for years! Mainly because of the service and the food. The one lady is still there that used to have dreds and now she's wearing a short natural but she always gives GREAT customer service!! If you haven't been here to tr the food, get here. The catfish and grits is good. Too many good choices to mention. If you go on the weekend, get there early as they get a crowd and there will be a line.
