Crema's Take

This Charleston gem pairs beautifully crafted pastries with creative specialty drinks like their signature Ruby and expertly steamed matcha lattes, earning consistent praise for both visual appeal and genuine flavor. The bright, welcoming space draws folks in for leisurely afternoons, though seating fills up quickly and pricing skews toward the premium side. While the baked goods and atmosphere shine, it's worth noting the staff seem stretched thin—a place with real potential that could use some love behind the counter.

We loved this pastry shop! They had a great selection. We got the Ruby, hot chocolate, and a butterscotch brioche and they were all fantastic. If busy, there isn’t many places to sit though. Greatly enjoyed it!

The bread is excellent and the atmosphere is pleasant, but the staff seem completely burnt out and unwelcoming. They deserve better compensation and stronger incentives.

A wonderful experience. One of the best cafes I have had the pleasure of visiting. The overall look is very clean and welcoming. The food doesn’t just look beautiful, but tastes incredible. The blueberry muffin, a classic item, was probably the best I’ve had in my life. The orinoco is a wonderfully sweet mixture of passion fruit, banana, and vanilla cream that tastes delectable. Would definitely recommend, and will visit again myself on further visits.

This place is a little pricy ($24 for two after tip. They tasted fine but for the price and size, I guess was expecting a bit more. I got the ruby and the royal .They tasted pretty similar with the royal having a more nutty taste. The store was exceptionally clean

Don’t get fooled. That bakery has nothing French except the name. Quality is horrible. Even frozen pastries taste better. $20 for 2 pastries is a ripoff. The pastries and the pastry shop look good. But that’s all you will get for your money. Extremely disappointed.
