Crema's Take

Tucked away in a charming open-air shelter complete with a fire pit, this beloved spot serves up carefully crafted lattes topped with a signature chocolate-covered espresso bean alongside creative breakfast items like chorizo burritos—all delivered with genuine warmth from owners who clearly love what they do. Whether you're warming up by the fire on a crisp fall morning, hopping through the drive-thru, or gathering with friends in their inviting space, you'll find the kind of thoughtful coffee experience that makes locals feel like they've found something special.

This place was AMAZING! It was my first time in Traverse City and I was trying to find an authentic coffee shop and this place did it! They had amazing food, coffee and service! Someone recommended the breakfast sandwich that had Homemade sourdough from a local bakery down the road and it did not disappoint. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy and authentic coffee shop to represent the up north!

I absolutely love this place. The owners are very wonderful people and the food/drinks are amazing - the cutest detail is the chocolate covered espresso bean that comes with the lattes. Not to mention, the atmosphere is very inviting. I will continue to visit! ❤️

Way to knock a coffee experience out of the park! Sitting by the fire on a crisp fall morning sipping my Yooper (great suggestion thank you) waiting for my chorizo burrito with hashbrown. Wow what a nice way to ease my way into the morning.

Cute little coffee shop in a small building set back from the street. Drive through and walk up available. Latte was great and sandwich was delicious! Fun waiting area with fire pit.

Inviting Felt like we found the end of the rainbow. It had just started to rain. We scurried in what seemed like a place exposed to the elements but was actually a warm open shell full of homey decor and welcoming people. From the crackling firepit, comfortably spaced rustic seating, dog water bowls, smiling faces. The space invites you in to find your comfort where you are. My dog was treated like family by absolutely everyone, my drink had a complimentary chocolate espresso bean on top and made me go “wow” itself, the flavor reflecting the smokey fire with a smooth balance of sweet vanilla. My dog was given plenty of treats, sweet words, and enjoyed his own pupsicle. (And also enjoyed nibbles from the small grilled cheese I ordered, thats texture was crisp and perfectly cheesy) The food we ordered was fresh made and handed to us with such joy. 100/10 honestly! Wish I lived closer, we’d come here all the time =)
