Crema's Take
“This is a standout spot for panini sandwiches paired with Blanchard coffee roasts, where the rotating lunch specials pull from cuisines around the world and actually hit—people consistently rave about the turkey caprese and Italian options. The staff clearly care about what they're doing, and while it sits on the UR campus, the food and coffee quality draw plenty of non-students who make it worth seeking out. Fair warning: if sustainability matters to you, bring your own straw (reviewers have called out the plastic straws despite other eco-conscious efforts).”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
