Crema's Take

Tucked into Santa Barbara's airport, this roastery punches above the weight you'd expect from a travel location, earning genuine appreciation from regulars who praise their espresso-forward drinks and willingness to work with your own cups. The team shows real heart during the chaotic early morning rush, with staff arriving before dawn to serve focused, quality coffee alongside fresh pastries, and a gracious approach to mistakes that speaks to their character. It's the kind of place where you remember the kindness as much as the cappuccino.

Ordered a coffee and asked for some hot water to put in my own insulated cup to use for my grandson’s oatmeal and she charged me $.82!!! For just hot water! I guess I’ll stay away!

So nice to be able to get a really good cup of coffee at the airport. They will even put it in your own cup.

Very kind staff dealing with big line for early flights. They adjusted my order after a miscommunication and were very gracious about it. Decent cappuccino (especially at this time in the morning)

good coffee, fresh croissants, I don’t know what all these negative reviews are about. These employees literally get to the airport to make us coffee at four in the morning.

Ordered two double expressos, received one, told them we ordered two, so they split what was in the cup to two cups. After calling them out, the manager said the barrister is new, her first day... more drama before they made us two fresh double expressos.
