Crema's Take

Janet's nails the intersection of exceptional pastries and serious espresso, with a sourdough cinnamon roll that regulars won't shut up about and coffee that matches the ambition of the baking. The tiny counter-service setup means you're standing room only during the morning rush, but the staff moves with impressive efficiency and the window into the bakery kitchen makes the wait feel worth it. Go early, order something with their house-made bread, and accept that this is a grab-and-go spot that punches well above its modest footprint.

What to expect

Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.
