Crema's Take
“The croissants here are legitimately exceptional—flaky, buttery, and inventive enough to make you come back for flavors like lemon meringue and raspberry almond instead of just grabbing the classics. The espresso drinks are solid (expect traditional lattes and Americanos rather than experimental stuff), but honestly, you're coming for the pastries and the aesthetic Instagram-worthy setup. It's a quick, no-pressure stop perfect for a quality coffee-and-pastry breakfast, especially with the refreshing fact that they don't push the tip screen.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Conveniently located off the 5 and next to my go-to grocery store, Ralphs. Got me 4 croissants and the raspberry almond is my favorite. It paired perfectly with my chia seed/greek yogurt. Love the modern interior design & their open-concept kitchen. Spoke briefly with the owner,…
Newly opened coffee, beverages & patisserie shop that uses natural, high-quality ingredients. Our first visit was a delight. The cookies, tiramisu and mocha were all delicious. Currently undergoing minor renovations to add additional beverage and baked goods.
