Crema's Take

“This cozy downtown spot brings an Italian-inspired coffee and gelato experience to Charleston, with genuinely delicious gelatos in creative flavors and espresso drinks like affogatos that transport you back from your travels. The space is intimate and quick-grab friendly, perfect for a post-walk treat near the Pineapple Fountain, though the small seating area means most folks grab their milkshakes or coffees to go. Fair warning: the service can be inconsistent, but when the gelato and espresso are this good, many visitors overlook the occasional rough edges.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Open late.

Delicious gelatos!! The flavors were amazing. However staff was not so friendly and there was very few places to seat, very small space.

I was in the mood for Gelato. I had the pistachio with the blue caramel waffle cone. My husband had an iced coffe with caramel in it. We both enjoyed our choices. My cone was piled high. I could not finish it all but it was really good. We were satisfied.
