Crema's Take

This tiny country general store punches way above its weight with fresh, thoughtfully sourced sandwiches and bowls that taste like someone actually cares what goes into them. The vibe is pure small-town charm—friendly staff, a retail shop worth browsing, and enough outdoor seating to make it feel like a gathering place rather than just a coffee stop. If you're craving legitimately good food in rural Sonoma County without pretension or fuss, this is worth the drive.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Had the shrimp bun and the pulled pork bun. Very fresh and tasty. Very friendly staff and lots of interesting stuff to buy. Had to return for coffee and soft serve, again very happy. Went a second time and had one of the salad bowls. Give them a 5 star throughout.
