Crema's Take

This cozy Chicago gem excels at both coffee and pastries, with the Salted Caramel Shaken Espresso and house-made cakes like the pistachio milk cake earning genuine devotion from regulars. Owner Zaidi and his team create an unusually warm welcome in a intimate bar-seating space lined with windows, making it equally suited for a solo coffee ritual or meeting a friend over matcha. The thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks and pastry cases suggest real care goes into every order, which explains why people keep coming back.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Zaidi the owner is a very sweet man! They always greet you right when you walk in, and if there’s a wait they let you know they will be with you momentarily. So many options for flavors! Lots of sugar free syrups which I love for matcha. Overall very pleasant experience!!!

The Salted Carmel Shaken Espresso + Pistachio Milk Cake are literally life changing. Small space with bar seating - lots of windows so it distracts you from the winter. Will definitely back - seriously delicious!

Fantastic coffee shop with the most lovely owners! We found this place by accident and were so glad we did. Their flat white was excellent, and so was the multi-layered honey cake: a true delicacy, with a fine and subtle honey taste and a very well balanced sweetness. The place…
