Crema's Take
“This Charlottesville gem roasts its own beans in-house, delivering impressively fresh coffee that pairs beautifully with homemade croissants and creative drinks like their standout mango matcha with oat milk. The vintage-tinged atmosphere feels genuinely welcoming and unhurried, making it the kind of place regulars keep coming back to for both the quality and the vibe. Whether you're after a meticulously pulled espresso or a leisurely breakfast, Camellia's strikes that rare balance between serious craft and genuine comfort.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

See all on Google →Nice atmosphere and the workers here are friendly, but this has to be the absolute worst matcha I’ve ever tasted. For the price of the drink alone (rounded to $10) the quality of the matcha is horrible and very disappointing. If you want good quality matcha that’s not “grainy”…
This is a must stop for coffee and tea! This place is sooooo good. The coffee is strong, with plenty of options to make it sweeter or just keep it black. The matcha latte is really good, too, but there’s a lot of options to choose from that haven’t disappointed the few times…

Camelia’s Coffee & Tea is my go-to spot! I’m obsessed with their mango matcha with oat milk, cappuccinos, and lattes—so smooth and flavorful. The pastries and avocado toast are always fresh and delicious. The vibe is eclectic and super welcoming.Ling is incredibly kind and…
Amazing new coffee shop with a cool vintage vibe just off the Main Street. They roast their own coffee beans in house, so their coffee smells and tastes really fresh and great! They also have a small bakery, serving fresh croissants and cakes. I will stop by here again for sure!
