Crema's Take

The house-made pop tarts alone justify a visit—reviewers consistently rave about these elevated pastries that split the difference between homemade and nostalgic. Their espresso drinks are genuinely excellent when you catch them on a good day, though the $1.50 upcharge for alternative milks and occasionally slow service mean this desert spot rewards patience over convenience. It's a legitimately nice hang for meeting friends or settling in with a book, just expect to pay specialty prices and factor in a bit of wait time.

Forgot how expensive drip coffee is. Good coffee though. Just took a while to get. But a very nice place. Good atmosphere.
