Crema's Take

This is a genuinely welcoming family spot that nails the basics—excellent eggs Benedict and crepes, patient staff, and a spacious layout with a dedicated kids' area that actually works for group visits. The standout is their serious commitment to gluten-free baking, which means everyone at the table can eat well here, not just those with dietary restrictions. Open early (7am) with solid coffee and the kind of unhurried atmosphere that makes a weekend breakfast feel intentional rather than transactional.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.
