Crema's Take

This Santa Cruz spot is genuinely beloved for its pastries, especially scones that inspire years-long loyalty, and offers a thoughtful selection of pour overs that justify the trip for coffee enthusiasts. While the espresso-focused menu is a bit hit-or-miss and the space can feel cramped and dimly lit, the warm, genuinely nice staff create an inviting atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back for slow, intentional coffee sessions.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Place has gone down hill. It's always cluttered and a mess, very dim lighting. Baristas and staff always look mad or depressed. 8 dollars for a tiny cup of steamed milk with powders and fake honey total ripoff. Go to Cat n Cloud instead. Way better

The coffee was OK. Nothing memorable for their drip. They do have lots of options so perhaps others are better (or worse). The grilled cheese sandwich but extremely greasy. The chips with it were homestyle kettle fried and very oily too. Maybe other dishes are better or less…

I can’t really say enough positive things about this place. We have been getting scones for years from here. To say these scones are the best in the world is still not doing them justice. You almost have to throw away all prior expectations and mental models of what a scone is…
