Crema's Take

“Tucked away in Detroit, Encarnacion is a warmly run gem where Chef Mauro and owner Robert pour genuine care into every detail, from their standout signature latte to thoughtfully crafted breakfast dishes like creative sandwiches and avocado toast. The espresso-focused menu shines with both traditional Latin American flavors and innovative specialties, all served in a cozy atmosphere that feels like a welcoming refuge rather than just another coffee shop. Whether you're stopping by for a quick top-tier coffee and bagel or settling in for a leisurely breakfast with friends, the friendly team here makes you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

This place is amazing! Robert, the owner, is super friendly and welcoming. Their signature latte is just perfect, as well as their avocado toast. I will definitely come again.
