Crema's Take
“Tucked in Elm Grove, this café has carved out a devoted following for their artfully crafted smoothie bowls and creatively infused coffees that go beyond standard café fare. Baristas here genuinely engage with customers—they'll steer you toward their custom-blended coffee if you're particular about your brew, and their ingredient quality shines through in every sip and spoonful, making the slightly higher prices feel like an investment in something special. It's the kind of spot where regulars will drive 15-20 minutes out of their way, and where families and friends feel equally welcome whether you're settling in for a meeting or grabbing a protein-rich bowl.”

I really enjoyed this location for a coffee meeting. I've never been a fan of Anodyne coffee, I mentioned that to the Barista and she suggested I try their coffee because it was blended, specially for them. And she was not wrong! I tried their press coffee and their butter coffee and it did change my mind. I ended up going with the butter. I usually don't add sweetener, but a little bit, was perfect. Good lighting comfortable seating, plenty of space between tables, all good. I'll be back.
First time coming here. We knew it was a cafe that specialized in Smoothie Bowls and Infused Coffees. We were just here to check it out and get a couple of simple cafe drinks. It was a Monday morning, and there were a few other people there. The cafe is spacious with lots of seating on the main floor or upstairs. Lots of natural light coming in from the front (south-facing) windows. The space is well designed and organized. They have lots of food and supplement products for sale on the main floor. The order counter is toward the rear. Got a pleasant greeting from the staff. We wanted to get a couple of plain Chai Lattes but were told that they were out of the mix. However, they agreed to make a Chai Latte from a Rishi tea bag and add the steamed milk. My friend got the iced chai. Both of the drinks were ready in several minutes. My hot chai was made well — the right amount of steeping and a nice creamy foam texture. We took them upstairs, where there was plenty of space, and it was quiet, perfect for a conversation. The tranquility didn’t last long after some smaller children arrived and were very boisterous. (I love kids, have a couple of my own, but also find they can be distracting from a quiet conversation.) In general, a very good experience. I would come back next time to check out some of the Smoothie Bowls.
Went to Nona for the first time with a friend and I was surprised by the quality of their ingredients. Their drinks have a healthy taste to them but still yummy, and their decadent bowl is very rich and filling. There were tons of cute and private seating options upstairs. I will come again and try different menu items!
So delicious!! Not cheap but worth the price for delicious protein supplemented food. I drive 15-20 minutes for this! Superwoman is excellent! My son loved the PB Oreo.
Finally a great açaí bowl around Milwaukee! Order the Very Berry Bowl without whey protein, banana and peanut butter, that made it the bowl delicious and pretty close to the ones in Brazil! Definitely going back! The cold brew was very tasty too. Very clean place, nice and vibrant atmosphere. I am glad I took a chance on this place.
