Crema's Take

“Tucked into downtown Raleigh, this espresso-focused café nails both the coffee and the comfort, with reviewers raving about latte craftsmanship and a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for lingering over work or conversation. Beyond the reliably excellent espresso drinks, the kitchen shines with surprisingly delicious light fare—from silky congee on cold days to a full breakfast menu—and the matcha tea is just as carefully crafted as the coffee. It's exactly the kind of neighborhood spot that makes you want to come back again and again, even if an occasional dish misses the mark.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

Really liked this little place for a light lunch, before going to a busy work day. Tried the iced mocha, with an extra shot of espresso. Spot on, nice and strong, but tasty. Also went for the roast beef melt, which was pretty good. I wish the meat to bread ratio was more on the…
