Crema's Take

This cozy West View gem pairs excellent, carefully crafted coffee with genuine local character—reviewers rave about their velvety cappuccinos and creative cold brew variations like French toast syrup and vanilla cold foam. What really sets them apart is their commitment to supporting actual artists and photographers rather than generic stock imagery, plus that perfect blend of friendly staff and inviting atmosphere that makes it equally great for lingering over a book or squeezing in a quick meeting. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that feels like a discovery worth sharing.

If you own a small business and want me to support your small business, then support real, human-made artwork or local photographers instead of the plethora of framed AI photos you ordered online. Real artists who also have small businesses would appreciate that. The junky AI decor is giving basic girl, live-laugh-love vibes. You can make a space colorful, maximalist, and welcoming without supporting computer-generated “art” hung all over the walls. You could even find some more unique pieces at a locally-owned thrift store. Aside from that, as long as you have good coffee, I would still come back. But the drinks simply aren’t good. Our first drink, an iced vanilla oat latte was really watery. ***Edited to add: This was not our first oat milk latte. Being lactose intolerant, we’ve had many throughout the years that aren’t watery. It is definitely possible to make a great latte with a milk alternative. Our second drink, a hot Americano just didn’t taste like quality espresso. Despite the reputable brand, maybe the espresso wasn’t ground fine enough, pressed tight enough, or the machine pressurized within range? Maybe the water wasn’t filtered? These all can make a difference in the shot. Least importantly, service was slow even though they weren’t busy. And a note to the owners reply— Almost all coffee shops “make drinks by hand.” Even so, if the drinks tasted better, I’d make this a regular stop since we are local, but we poured them down the drain when we got home.

Went in for small business Saturday, but we absolutely will be back! My husband and I both ordered a cold brew with French toast syrup; his had a splash of cream and mine had a vanilla cold foam. Delicious! We also had a sausage breakfast burrito (not pictured, we ate it immediately). Great price point, kind and knowledgeable baristas, and nice assortment of local artists’ work.

☕📚 *Coffee and books—two of life’s finest pleasures.* So imagine our delight when we stumbled upon a charming little gem tucked away in West View that serves up both! From the velvety cappuccinos to the perfectly crumbly scones, our first visit was a treat for the senses. And yes, we’ll definitely be back—because cozy corners, good reads, and great coffee are simply irresistible.

Starting May 21st — FLIGHTS are launching! Two incredible options: Back to Basics Flight Just the classics, done right: Chai Latte Matcha Cold Brew Brew-gie Flight (Brew + Bougie = Brew-gie) A rotating selection of over-the-top seasonal and creative drinks handpicked by the baristas.

I’m already planning my next visit.
