Crema's Take
“The entire operation runs on a mission that actually matters: 100% of profits go directly to helping homeless individuals find employment and rebuild their lives, which transforms every cup you order into genuine social impact. The baristas are exceptionally warm and skilled at crafting creative flavor combinations, whether you're after an adventurous specialty drink or a perfectly balanced chai latte, and the calm, welcoming atmosphere makes it equally suited for lingering solo or catching up with friends. Fair warning that the coffee philosophy leans more approachable than aggressively high-end, but that's honestly part of why regulars keep coming back.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

See all on Google →Great atmosphere, kind baristas (came in for hot water one day to refill tea, returned soon after for coffee flavors), yummy and unique coffee/tea flavor combinations. Will definitely be going back.
The day I went it was very quiet. They don’t have many food options, but I ordered a blueberry muffin and it was really good. I also had a chai latte, which was delicious, with just the right amount of spice. Good service.
Cold brew coffee and chai latte was just okay... Make sure you’re charged correctly- was shown my price and not the recipet with items on it - asked her to go back and was charged an extra latte. No big deal but something to watch out for.
We stopped by for a late morning coffee around 10:30 just looking to try somewhere new. Bernie made us feel right at home and we loved the mission of this place. The coffee isn’t as high end as NJC or Hex, but the prices are reasonable and the drinks are creative.
The staff are amazing and so incredibly friendly! The coffee is perfect and 100% of profits go to helping homeless people get a job and improve their way of life. Even if you don't drink coffee they have excellent tea available and the atmosphere is outstanding!
