Crema's Take

“Tucked into Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood, this beloved spot seamlessly weaves together a thoughtfully curated bookstore with an adjoining coffee counter where baristas craft excellent lattes and specialty drinks alongside a surprising selection that includes beer and matcha. The magic happens in the details: staff recommendations are genuine and generous, a cozy ambiance invites you to linger for hours with a book, and the shop's sweet touch of displaying customer reviews on the shelves creates a warm community feel that keeps people coming back. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a slow afternoon, the whole operation radiates the kind of local authenticity and care that makes a place feel like a genuine third space.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Wifi.

Wonderful bookstore in Bloomfield! The staff is so helpful and friendly and offer excellent reading suggestions. Stop by the adjoining cage for a delicious latte or to buy a funny card or beautiful piece of wrapping paper!
