Crema's Take
“This bakery-café draws a crowd for its display cases of fresh pastries and baked goods—the chocolate bun and vanilla crème donut get genuine praise—but coffee quality is inconsistent and some regulars find the pastries underwhelming for the hype. Service can be slow and the atmosphere leans casual rather than craft-focused, so visit if you're after reliable pastries and a place to linger, not if you're seeking excellent espresso drinks.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Parking available.
