Crema's Take

Nestled in downtown Olympia, this gluten-free haven pairs live piano music with inventive waffle-based brunches that satisfy both sweet and savory cravings, creating an unhurried, special-occasion atmosphere where making reservations is essential. The genuinely warm staff and commitment to both quality coffee and thoughtfully crafted food make it a destination worth the wait and the price, especially if you're looking to linger over breakfast with friends or family rather than rush out the door.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
