Crema's Take

Tucked into a charming Irish-themed corner of Saint Paul, this wee shop punches way above its weight with expertly pulled espresso drinks and surprisingly stellar breakfast sandwiches that locals can't stop raving about. The cozy, intimate space—complete with outdoor alley seating in summer—has just enough room to settle in with a scone and clotted cream while you work or linger, though expect a wait when the solo barista is in the weeds. There's a genuine warmth here, the kind of neighborhood spot where regularity and charm matter more than square footage.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

The Cladaugh Coffee and cheddar scone served with clotted cream were amazing. There was one lady doing everything. The wait was long. There were 2 tables for seating. I will definitely return!

This is a lovely little neighborhood coffee shop. I enjoyed a delicious latte with a scone while getting work done. Is there a better way to start the day? Shout-out to Chasidia!

Charming little cafe with an Irish cultural theme. That means scones with clotted cream, and a bunch of clever drink names. You can get tea if you like, but the coffee is top notch! They mostly pull from Dogwood and Backstory as roasters, making for some wonderful pourovers.…

Super cool Irish coffee shop. Coffee was great, we got the Claddagh and the Dirty Seamus. The baristas were helpful and friendly. I love the atmosphere here, it would be a great place to study, do work, or just hang out!
