Crema's Take
“Tucked into Ballard, this cozy spot has earned a devoted following for its unexpected Lebanese-inspired pastries, especially the never-disappointing baklava, alongside impeccable breakfast classics like savory cheddar chive scones with tomato jam and frittata. The kitchen shines equally whether you're ordering a perfectly balanced hazelnut mocha or the Washington Waffle Combo with spiced apples, and the staff maintains genuine warmth even during the rush, making it feel less like a transaction and more like a neighborhood gathering place. It's the kind of place where a wrong order might lead you to your new favorite thing, and where the care in execution—from pastry lamination to ingredient pairing—shows in every bite.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
