Crema's Take

This neighborhood gem in Oakland strikes a lovely balance between a quick caffeine stop and a lingering third space, with a genuinely welcoming owner who treats regulars like neighbors. The no-fuss food—fresh sandwiches and custom juices—pairs perfectly with solid coffee in a homey setting that attracts an interesting cross-section of the community for real conversations and connection. It's the kind of place where the atmosphere and people matter as much as what's in your cup.

Sandwich was fresh. Customer service lacking. Sandwich served with an attitude. The person at the counter became hostile when asked about the ingredients in the tuna and chicken salad. Pretty basic question as people usually put their own spin in these items. I wouldn't go back, and would not recommend it.

Awesome spot to grab coffee and a sandwich. The food is basic but doesn't pretend to be anything else. The owner is a great addition to the community! Try the custome juices!

Stumbled on this place when working across the street servicing a customer's equipment and needed to grab lunch nearby. Had the best turkey and swiss deli sandwich of my life, not kidding. Now, every time I drive by the place I salivate. Had the chance to stop by there again today, one year later, and the turkey and swiss sandwich was even better! Fresh high quality bread, turkey, swiss cheese, tomato, red onion, lettuce, and some kind of special sauce. Incredibly delicious and a very rare find!

I love this place! Beautiful artwork and atmosphere but in a small neighborhood community way. Lots of interesting people of all types get together and have ongoing discussions about everything. It reminds me very much of how cafes were in the 90s. The spicy chicken salad sandwich and the grilled paninnis are my favorite and the espresso drinks are excellent. Please keep this place a secret though! I don't want it to get crowded!

The best little coffee house in town. Homey and comfortable environment. The proprietor and the folks who work there are friendly and treat people like beloved neighbors. Their coffee is good and hearty. Their sandwiches are as nature intended: Delicious. I've never had a bad experience there, and I've been going there several times a week for two years. Definitely a local favorite.
