Crema's Take

Creme de la Creme Cafe operates inside the County Assessor building in Riverside and relies heavily on a captive lunch crowd, which may explain the uneven execution: shakes and homemade drinks get genuine praise, but food items (avocado toast, grain bowls, bakery goods) consistently disappoint, with several reviewers noting they taste mass-produced or poorly assembled. Service is spotty and the owner's involvement suggests operational instability. This rating is based on only 22 reviews, so it's too thin to be definitive, but the pattern of food complaints is clear enough that you should visit primarily for beverages, if at all.

Some food items are okay but other items are laughable. I ordered an avocado toast, I'll let you decide if it looks good. Most, if not all, their bakery items look like they come from costco's bakery section. They had a few times were they sold what looked like non store bought…

Updated: I was confronted by the owner while having personal lunch in the building. Joe was very kind, offered an apology for the poor service & sad bowl that was previously served. We had a nice chat about the person in question and they no longer are employed at the cafe. I…
