Crema's Take
“Tucked on McKinley in Tacoma, this welcoming neighborhood spot has cultivated a distinctly spunky, queer-friendly atmosphere where dog lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike feel genuinely at home. The baristas and owner bring a chill, neighborly energy that keeps people coming back, paired with thoughtfully crafted cold brews, intriguing seasonal specials, and pastries that make it worth arriving early for the best picks.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Dog friendly.
