Crema's Take
“The baristas here take their espresso seriously and will happily remake your drink if it's not right, which happens rarely enough to earn them a devoted following. It's got the relaxed, slightly retro vibe of a place where people actually want to linger with their laptops, and the pastries are solid enough to justify stopping by even if you're just grabbing coffee to go. The matcha is respectable if unspectacular, but the real draw is espresso done right in an unpretentious space that feels like it's been doing this well for years.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Wonderful coffee shop! Very reminiscent of the 90s but has everything you need. It’s also the perfect place to work from your laptop and the staff is so warm. Great spot!

Enjoyed this coffee shop. The coffee was good quality, the inside is very cute with a bright atmosphere. Only complaint was that my pastry was quite dry. There is some outdoor seating which is nice! The staff were also lovely and very kind.
