Crema's Take
“The housemade syrups here elevate every drink into something genuinely special—cardamom rose lattes, in-house chocolate for mochas, and a legendary dirty chai that regulars obsess over. Owner Igor runs such a genuinely warm operation that customers receive thank you notes with discount codes after their first visit, and the whole vibe is unhurried and dog-friendly with a courtyard full of picnic tables perfect for lingering. If you want excellent coffee that actually tastes like someone cared about every detail, this Sellwood gem is absolutely worth the trip.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

Adorable little coffee shop and roastery in selwood. Friendly staff, warm atmosphere and DELICIOUS coffee. Must try the mocha, all chocolates and syrups are made in house and truly unique.
Cute little coffee shop with no frills just very good coffee. The dirty chai latte is one of my all time favorites. Bike parking out front and a small courtyard with picnic tables next door. Can’t wait to come back again!
The most aesthetically pleasing little café in south Portland. The drinks were AMAZING with the housemade syrups and it was a wonderful spot to chill and do some crossword with a friend. The staff, the drinks, the pasteries, all very good. I will be coming again very soon!
