Crema's Take

This Berkeley neighborhood gem pairs stellar breakfast sandwiches—think loaded Denver bagels and veggie omelette combos—with a genuinely cozy, lived-in atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back daily. The spare, sun-filled space with comfortable worn chairs and big windows is perfect for lingering over a cafe au lait or green tea frappe, whether you're catching up with friends or settling in for a work session. It's the kind of place where the owners know your name and the service stays consistent, making you feel like you've found your corner spot.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

Breakfast bacon egg sausage muffins and avocado cream cheese bagel were very good. Dining area looks clean.
