Crema's Take

Nestled on Franklin Street with both cozy indoor and breezy outdoor seating, The Patio is a vibrant gathering spot where the energy matches the quality—perfect for catching up with friends or settling in for a work session, though it can get pleasantly bustling during peak hours. While their traditional coffee drinks are solid, this spot really shines as a companion to Purple Bowl's acai offerings, making it an ideal place to fuel up with both a specialty drink and a nourishing bowl when you're in the Chapel Hill area.

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

If you're on Franklin St, The Patio is a place you wouldn't want to miss. If your family is in town or wanting to catch up with friends or even get work done, this is the perfect place to do it. Great seating, live music, atmosphere, food, and coffee.
