Crema's Take

“This Medford roastery gem keeps things refreshingly simple and honest, serving impressively fresh coffee at prices that feel like a relic from a better time—small iced coffees under $2.50 are still possible here. Lisa and her team have created the kind of neighborhood spot where you're treated like family, whether you're grabbing a subtly flavored Dubai chocolate iced coffee and a buttery croissant or picking up beans by the pound to take home. It's the kind of place that proves you don't need complicated syrups or Instagram-bait presentations to deliver genuinely delicious coffee and the warm, welcoming experience that keeps people coming back as part of their daily routine.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

Hidden gem! There are no places left in Boston where you can get a Small, Medium, or Large iced coffee for under $2.50. They have a ton of flavored coffee (sprayed then brewed, not flavored with syrup after brewing) and 4 different flavors of iced coffee on tap (cream and sugar…

Wide selection of coffee to choose from to buy by the pound, and a good amount of prepared coffee "on tap" for either iced or hot coffee to enjoy there or take to go. Friendly people, and good prices. Flavors rotate out consistently for the prepared "on tap" coffee, with a good…
