Crema's Take
“This beloved Bloomington institution has earned fierce loyalty with its house-made bagels and killer cream cheese varieties like their famous chive blend, making it a genuine community gathering spot where the enthusiastic owner personally connects with every customer. Whether you're grabbing breakfast before class, fueling up a sports team, or hosting a business meeting, Gables opens early and moves the line with impressive efficiency—just time your visit wisely during peak campus events. The warm, family-friendly vibe combined with consistently excellent bagel sandwiches explains why both locals and visitors keep coming back.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Opens early. Family friendly.
