Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused spot in a tucked-away Durham location takes its coffee seriously, with skilled baristas who excel at classic drinks like cortados and cappuccinos made the traditional way. The on-site bakery turns out excellent pastries alongside that quality coffee, creating a genuinely inviting space with plenty of comfortable seating that's equally suited for a solo work session or meeting up with friends and family.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Dropped by with my daughter for a couple quick coffees and pastries. On-site bakery with excellent selection of sweet and savory treats. Delicious, clean, inviting. Friendly and talented barista. Great experience. Looking forward to our next visit.
