Crema's Take
“The real draw here is the second-floor ocean view that completely justifies the visit—reviewers consistently rave about it as one of the most spectacular settings on the California coast. While the coffee itself stays traditional rather than experimental, the kitchen shines with fresh, thoughtfully-executed food (their crab cakes and steamed clams are standouts), making this feel less like a coffee shop pit stop and more like a leisurely brunch destination where the view is just as important as what's on your plate.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
