Crema's Take

Tucked away near Bloomington's city hall, this espresso-focused spot punches above its weight with inventive seasonal drinks like their fall Jack-o-lantern special alongside consistently excellent cortados and black coffee. The small, no-frills space moves quick and keeps things friendly, making it perfect for grabbing something excellent on your way out the door rather than lingering—though locals keep coming back because the baristas clearly care about what's in your cup. Their creative signature drinks prove they're not just slinging standard fare; they're actually experimenting and rewarding adventurous coffee drinkers willing to try what they're featuring this season.

Very nice little place. No bathrooms. The cashier was very kind. Their hot chocolate was very good. I should have gotten a large!

I just have to say WOW. This cool little spot surely surprised me. I was at city hall a bit earlier than I needed to be and was craving a coffee. Hopscotch did not disappoint. I had a regular black coffee and my wife had one of their seasonal pumpkin drinks. We each got a small bite also. I have to say everything was great. I'll now be going out of my way to stop here. The coffee was so fresh and flavorful unlike the burnt and bitter at the big chain spots. 10 out of 10 I'll be there again.

Love being able to quickly get a great coffee and go! Bloomington has several local shops but this is one of the best. There is always an intriguing seasonal drink to try but excellent standard ones as well. The flavors are always well balanced and the coffee is roasted in house so it’s as fresh as possible.

Wasn't a big fan of the coffee that I got. Probably one of the least favorite brews I've ever bought. Maybe their larger shop would be a better brew. I also was hoping to get some sort of baked good but it was literally the bare minimum which makes sense as it's the smaller shop. But I was hoping for a little bit more. They didn't even have caramel flavoring. No drive-thru and no place to sit so it's definitely just get and go. It was located about two blocks from the Main Street/drive. Server wasn't super friendly, but that's not a big deal. When I talked to a friend who lives in Bloomington, they said they're not a fan of their coffee either. So I probably would not recommend and would not go to again. But maybe for somebody else they would like the taste/ brew.
