Crema's Take

Tucked into downtown Anchorage, this intimate alchemist-inspired café crafts uncommonly good matcha that strikes that elusive balance between rich and restrained, alongside creative specialty drinks that reward curiosity. Their kitchen punches well above typical coffee shop weight—think generously portioned smoked salmon burritos and carne asada nachos worth the splurge—making it as much a destination for bold, house-made food as it is for coffee. Order ahead for a quick grab, snag a seat on their outdoor patio, and come ready to discover why locals keep returning despite the cramped quarters.

The pictures might seem dim but the food is absolutely delicious and full of flavor and the matcha might look basic but I swear it’s one of the best matches I’ve tasted not too sugary or bland it’s perfect above all else its just amazing

Could have definitely had more polite service. Asked for extra cream in my americano which it didn’t have the amount I wanted… went back and the barista seemed mad about it, I saw her toss my drink into the sink. The drink was good once she remade it.

Call in your order to go, it’ll be ready quick. We’ve tried the fish and chips and the carne asada nachos. We came back for the nachos, they’re worth the $18. Small spot downtown. They serve beer on tap and bottled. The staff are friendly enough. I’ve tried their salmon quesadilla at the Alaska State fair and it was delicious. We’re coming back to try the breakfast burritos and other items.

This was a great place to catch something good to eat while downtown Anchorage. Loved the out door seating. Had the salmon tacos and the carne asada crunch wrap. The honemade tortilla chips are the best!! They were both very good. More food than we could eat. Fun dining experience.

This place serves very delicious food. The reindeer crunch wrap was out-of-this-world delicious. I’d say the same for the 1 lb smoked salmon burrito. The portions were very generous. We went thrice while we were in the area! You should not miss this while in Anchorage!😋
