Crema Coffee + Bakery
2728 SE Ankeny St, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Crema is a beloved Portland institution that strikes the perfect balance between serious espresso craft and a genuinely welcoming neighborhood gathering space, complete with striking local art on the walls and an impressive roster of in-house baked goods (the cinnamon rolls are particularly celebrated, though the cream cheese frosting divides loyalists). Whether you're settling in with your laptop for the afternoon, joining friends for an unhurried brunch, or grabbing a quick quiche and excellent coffee before heading out, the consistently warm service and premium pastries keep regulars coming back year after year.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi.

If you're looking for premium pastries, great coffee, and an all-around enjoyable brunch spot, Crema is an easy recommendation. I was reminded again this past Sunday why I keep coming back. It’s tucked into a quieter part of the neighborhood with plenty of outdoor seating,…
So many mentions of cinnamon rolls, but no good pictures of them, so here you go. I have to agree with another reviewer, the cream cheese frosting is not my favorite. It’s a bit dry too, needs to be more gooey, but good flavor overall and the dough has a pleasant texture.
Great place to study, have a delicious in house baked quiche, and grab a cup of coffee. It was super busy here and for a good reason. This cafe is convenient and in the center to everything in Portland. I can't wait to try other baked goods and coffee here.
We have been going to Crema for many years. Always a great experience. Good coffee and food. My wife really likes the quiche. Highly recommend.
Crema is a nice place, really cool art on the walls. The coffee and hot chocolate were decent, we've had better. The pastries were delicious. Overall a nice place to get your fix. Open 6:30am to 6:00pm daily.
