Crema's Take

“This beloved Santa Cruz institution pairs exceptional, freshly-made donuts with a welcoming neighborhood vibe that keeps locals coming back generation after generation. Beyond the classic glazed and cake varieties, you'll find creative seasonal flavors that disappear fast, so arriving early rewards you with the full selection alongside a solid pour of traditional coffee. The friendly staff and casual, timeless shop layout make it the kind of place where a quick caffeine-and-pastry run naturally turns into lingering over a walk down East Cliff.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Opens early. Family friendly.
