Crema Coffee & Bakery
1983 High House Rd, Cary, NC
Crema's Take
“This beloved Cary gem draws crowds for its creative signature drinks like peanut butter cup lattes and seasonal specialties that taste as inventive as they sound, all crafted with freshly roasted beans and an impressive syrup selection. The warm, welcoming vibe extends both inside and onto shaded outdoor seating, making it equally perfect for a quick espresso or lingering with friends over pastries that locals rave about enough to arrive early before they sell out. It's the kind of unpretentious neighborhood spot that surprises people who've driven past it dozens of times, combining solid coffee fundamentals with enough personality to keep regulars coming back.”

Very busy and popular! It's a pretty good, standard coffee shop. I enjoyed the small foamy cappuccino (the have different sizes). The inside was clean but not very moderns. Parking is easy. Large clean bathrooms, but the paper towels are super thin and disintegrate in your hands. I love the selection of baked goods. The croissant had a sugar coating on top that made it a little sweeter. I kind of wish I was just a plain butter croissant without the glossy sugar coat. All in all, it's good. I took a virtual work meeting from here and had no problem. Seems like a good place to work from home.
I have been in this shopping center so many times and i can't believe i didn't know about this coffee shop sooner! The inside was so warm and welcoming and there were a few tables inside and outside. What i loved most about this spot was all the delicious pastries they had to choose from. Everything they had sounded so good! I chose the adorable hello kitty shaped banana flavored madeleine and a raspberry white chocolate croissant, that i took to go. The also had another case that had cakes in them. But there were so many different croissant flavors that it was so hard to choose. I also ordered a small iced toasted s'mores latte, which was about $4.50 if i'm not mistaken. I typically like my drinks more sweet, but this drink had a stronger coffee taste in my opinion, but i still really enjoyed the drink. The only thing is that I really wish that their pastries would've had prices. I would've bought more had the prices been listed. I didn't want to bother the cashier of having to ask the price of certain items.
Wow! I got a peanut butter cup ice latte and it is DELICIOUS! 🤤 my friend got an ice chai latte with pumpkin spice and it tastes like fall in a cup! There isn’t a lot of seating inside, but the outside seating is nice too. You will hear the Irish music from next door. Definitely would want to come back and try their other flavors ☺️
Delicious little local hip coffee shop. The pistachio croissant was a highlight. Shaded outdoor seating. We'll be back.
Great coffee and pastries spot in Cary. They roast their own beans, coffee is always fresh and great tasting , large selection of syrups. Their bakery is star of the show, they run out of pastries pretty quickly so I’d suggest getting them earlier in the day. Today I tried Dutch slow brew iced coffee with brown sugar cinnamon syrup with cream, and a pistachio croissant. Croissant was perfectly flaky and just right amount of sweetness. Coffee was great as usual. Staff is very nice, ample amount of seating. Highly recommend trying out this hidden gem !!
