Crema's Take

This Portland gem balances approachable charm with serious espresso craftsmanship, earning genuine affection from regulars who linger over carefully-made lattes and creative signature drinks in its inviting, chandelier-lit space. The kitchen keeps pace with the coffee program, turning out vegan-friendly pastries and full breakfast options that pair beautifully with their standout matcha lattes, making it equally beloved by coffee purists and people looking for a comfortable spot to spend an unhurried morning. Fair warning: the cozy vibe comes with popularity, so expect a friendly crowd, but the genuinely warm staff seems genuinely happy to have you there.

Good matcha latte and vegan cookies. Outdoor seating. The atmosphere is cute, but it can get crowded quickly. I don't light all the bright lights but it's Portland so if you complain they don't care.

The whole place is neat and very welcoming. Comfortable chairs and great people behind the counter. My picture isn't of the food, menu, or something you're expecting but my friend here loved the espresso chocolate cake so much that she didn't even wash her concert stamp from 2 nights ago 😁 we loved it!

Me and my sisters went to get breakfast burritos, pumpkin chai lattes and a scone. Everything was delicious and the staff is so lovely. Beautiful vibes

This place is super cute. Good vibe. Both vegan and non vegan options. The locals seem to really like this place. It was ok to me. The coffee wasn’t great. The breakfast food options were just ok too. The sandwiches are pre-made in a case. The bakery items were a bit dry. The other party in my group did like her coffee and her baked goods. I’m super particular. I brought some cards to fill out while enjoying my coffee and baked goods but the table was not balanced and that was off putting. I’m open to giving this place another try. You should try it and see what you think.

This coffee shop has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with beautiful chandeliers that add a touch of charm. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which enhances the overall experience. They offer a great variety of coffee, and I decided to try the honey lavender latte. While it wasn’t as flavorful as I’d hoped and leaned a bit too sweet for my taste, their pastry selection is impressive, featuring cookies, bars, muffins, and even cold sandwiches. I did notice that the tables and floors were a bit dirty, and the table I sat at was a little wobbly, which can be improved. Additionally, you’ll need to find street parking, which costs about two dollars per hour, so keep that in mind. Despite these minor inconveniences, it’s still a nice spot to relax and enjoy a coffee, and I’d be happy to return to try more items from the menu.
