Crema's Take
“This cozy Ypsilanti spot excels at creative espresso drinks like their well-crafted ube latte alongside generous, satisfying sandwiches (the pistachio turkey is a standout) and solid breakfast offerings that keep the place buzzing with a friendly vibe. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between comfortable enough to linger with a laptop and warm enough to feel like a genuine gathering place, with staff who genuinely seem to care about getting your order right even during the rush.”

Pistachio turkey sandwich was fabulous! If you get the 16oz coffee, you'll get a cup size of your head haha. Inside is very cozy and comforting.
Really nice assortment of pastry, sandwiches, and coffee, and they have breakfast offerings like Avo toast and eggs before 3PM (at least on the weekends). The ube latte was really well made, and the pumpkin spice cookie was great as well. The staff was kind and bring your order to you after ordering at the counter.
Had the Phoenix sandwich with home fries and Iced Americano. Food was really good, and the service held up well even during a busy hour. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the servers were friendly and easy to talk to. Solid spot I’d come back to.
Name is cute, place is pretty, employees are kind, but the food and drinks were disappointing - which is unfortunately the whole point of this establishment. It has so much potential though!! Prices do not match the portion or quality you receive. The “Classic Breakfast” was two runny eggs, two dry pieces of bacon, a couple toasts, and some potatoes. Overall lightly seasoned and very bland. AC was cranked so high all the food was cold in a couple minutes. The “Gochujang Chicken Wrap” was very small pieces of fried chicken with barely any tomato or lettuce and what appeared to be light mayo inside a tortilla? I don’t know but it could barely hold its shape and was incredibly thin and hollow. The drinks were in cups that look child sized. The place is cute but, no one enjoys feeling deceived.
Went here because it is near Toyota and it is also near a lot of business too. Saw a lot customers are from the hospital. Got turkey sandwich and a cold brew for lunch. Yum. Turkey slices were stack pretty high, with fresh bread and some veggies, made a good sandwich. Sandwich is pretty good size too, if you are skinny, half portion and a soup should be good enough for you. Love the vibe, very spacious, free wifi, and good value for the price.
