Crema's Take
“This is the kind of coffee shop that makes you grateful you didn't just hit the gas station—exceptional espresso and cinnamon rolls that justify a detour off I-17 between Phoenix and Sedona. The team genuinely cares about regulars and will actually respond thoughtfully if something goes wrong, which combined with their consistently friendly service makes this feel more like a neighborhood spot than a highway stop. If you're driving through northern Arizona and want real coffee instead of convenience store swill, this place absolutely delivers.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Service is super nice and friendly. Variety of good coffee and matcha. Muffins and breakfast burrito :-) great atmosphere.
