Crema's Take
“This spot transforms throughout the day—morning coffee and pastries give way to wood-fired pizza by afternoon—making it equal parts café and pizzeria that locals actually trust for both. The handmade pies (spinach hand pies, quiche, banana cream) are the real draw here, each one substantial enough to justify a visit on their own, and they pair surprisingly well with their solid espresso drinks. If you're expecting pure specialty coffee, you'll be a bit disappointed, but if you want a genuine community spot with reliable pastries and confident pizza in a casual seaside setting, this is worth the detour.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Had the pesto pizza with chilis, very good! I have had the coffee here before and it was good. Wanted something to eat so decided to get a pizza, exceeded expectations.
I got their pizza with mushrooms and I loved it. But I substituted for the red sauce. #Bombdotcom 😋 😋 🤤 🤤 And to go I got their Chorizo and potatoes empanada. It was really good but the price was too high for such a little pie
This cafe serves all kinds of pies, quiche, pizza pie banana cream pie, and Spinach hand pies. The array of coffees and teas is extensive. The vanilla latte complements the spinach hand pie. Yummy. The staff is quick with the king line today just before the busy 4th of July…
