Crema's Take

This Mobile coffee sanctuary strikes an impressive balance between third-wave precision and creative indulgence, earning devoted loyalty with standout offerings like their acclaimed Matcha and seasonal experiments like the molasses-orange "Siena." The spacious outdoor seating and carefully curated atmosphere make it less a grab-and-go stop and more a place where you'll naturally settle in, whether you're meeting friends or claiming your new favorite coffee home. With consistently excellent espresso drinks, thoughtfully prepared pour-overs, and that rare combination of technical skill and approachable charm, it's exactly the kind of spot that makes you stop searching for your next regular.

I love the freshly made drinks at Nova. Their Matcha is the best around! Second best is their Maple Bourbon Iced Latte.

So far my favourite coffee spot in Mobile. Nice blend, good flavour, nicely prepared. Nice outdoors sitting (specially if you like squirrels)

Great specialty coffee shop! It seems like they lean third-wave but also offer a little something for everyone. I tried one of the fall seasonals — “Siena,” molasses and orange — half sweet as a hot latte for here, and it was really tasty. As a barista, it’s easy for me to be disappointed at other coffee shops, but the execution on my drink was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though it took a while to order on a Saturday as it was quite busy, my drink was ready very quickly. And I really enjoyed the atmosphere as a hangout or study space. Nova was recommended to me by several friends and I agree — you’ve got to check this spot out when in Mobile! Back when I used to come visit the area in high school there were no good coffee shops around, so I’m very happy there have been a few additions to the coffee scene since I last visited!

This is a great place to get coffee. This is the kind of place you just make your coffee shop and forget all the others. While there are an abundance of coffee shops these days, not many of them, A. Have Cortados and B. Have the skill to actually make one well. The owner, Tim, was incredibly kind and very skilled. We came through from out of state and anytime I’m rolling through Mobile, I’m stopping here. Thanks Cortado King of Alabama!

Amazing atmosphere, seating, and music. We very much enjoyed the vibes here. We ordered a cappuccino and hot coffee which were delicious and had great presentation. The blueberry pastry was yummy. Would visit again. Worth a try. The taco truck outside has wonderful food. We also ordered brunch drinks that were amazing.
