Crema's Take

Tucked into the UAB Highlands area, this cozy spot has earned its loyal following with genuinely warm staff and creative signature drinks like their Chocolate Covered Strawberry Latte that feel like little discoveries. Beyond the traditional espresso drinks, they pour thoughtful cups and offer Burmese-inspired pastries and light bites, making it the kind of place where regulars genuinely look forward to their morning visits. The space itself invites you to linger with a book or meet a friend, and while service can occasionally be slow, the kindness of the team and the care in their drinks make it feel worth the wait.

What to expect

Known for their pour-over program, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
