Crema's Take
“This cozy Thornton spot punches above its weight with obsessively clean espresso drinks that let high-quality coffee shine through, thanks to their filtered water system that customers genuinely notice and praise. Beyond solid traditional espresso work, they're experimenting with creative seasonal drinks and house-made pastries like Nutella cruffins, all served by a genuinely warm family team that treats regulars and walk-ins alike like friends stopping by.”

Love it. Best iced latte I have ever had. You can totally taste how clean and filtered the water is. We also got a ham and cheese croissant, and it was so good. I hardly leave reviews, but we will definitely be coming back for coffees and water!
They had a limited time peach drink (and I freaking love peach) so I gave it a try. Sadly, it wasn’t my favorite….and of course I visited in March and just now realized I didn’t write a review and so can’t recall the name of the drink! But the staff are kind and there’s plenty of seating inside.
Such a cute find! We got the caramel macchiato, mango wave refresher, and the Nutella cruffin! All of it was amazing and the employees were super kind, helpful, and welcoming. Will be coming back!
Just came in today as frozen as a popsicle. A young man greeted me and volunteered to make a surprise latte. I forgot to ask his name but he made me the most warm and delicious latte. The coffee was like very soothing and warmed me up. I highly recommend this place for chilling and getting some good snacks on for studying or chatting.
Really cute and cozy hole in the wall for legitimate coffee, smoothies and a variety of after school type of snacks. The owners/family working here were super nice and the caramel frozen coffee I got was super good and the prices and taste are way better than Starbucks. Would definitely come back again with friends!
