Crema's Take

This charming Irvine spot combines classical elegance with genuinely welcoming service, offering a rare blend of specialty coffee that skews toward lower acidity alongside traditional espresso drinks. The real draw is the thoughtfully designed space—picture shaded patio seating anchored by a soothing water wall feature, making it equally suited for a quick caffeine fix or lingering meetings over their seasonal menu offerings and fresh beignets. Parking validation sweetens the deal, and the staff's attentiveness to both your order and logistical details like validation only adds to the experience.

Parking does not seem to be free since there's a security arm that's present once you get a ticket at the entrance of the parking lot. I stopped by this cafe after dropping my rental car off at green motion thats 10-15 min walk away from this location. I got a matcha latte, nonfat milk, and added lavender syrup to it. Service was quick and there's plenty of food and drink options available. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating at the cafe. In addition to that, there's more seating nearby outside the cafe as well. Bathroom is across the cafe inside the building. Would definitely love to visit again if I'm ever in the area because I enjoy the environment.

I've been here a couple times before today. We decided to come today for Newport restaurant week menu. It's a pretty good deal for a drink, sandwich from their list, and two beignets. They do validate parking when you park in their garage for two hours. They have a wide variety of seating outside, only when the weather is nice. Otherwise, there's only a few tables on the inside. I enjoyed that they have several housemaid syrups. You can have your pic of coffee. So I really do enjoy their drinks. As for the sandwich, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich on ricotta bread. It was actually more bread than fillings. The chicken I thought was lacking. But it did have good flavors. My friend's avocado toast looked good, but very small for the price. The beignets were basically two donut holes, so I wouldn't get that again. Overall, I would come back for their coffee drinks. SYOY!

A charming coffee nook with a classical interior design with plenty of patio seating and inside seating. The staff was nice and fast with their service. I ordered from their seasonal menu a Buddy The Elf’s Sugar cookie hot latte, which was pretty good and a plain beignet.

I like coffee that’s less acidic, and this place had exactly the taste I was looking for. The interior was cute and pretty, and the staff were very kind, carefully taking care of the parking validation. The outdoor area was also very convenient, and I loved being able to enjoy a cup of coffee early in the morning while listening to the sound of the water.

Very good coffee, and excellent outdoor seating. Would go for the water wall feature alone is worth a visit to sit and listen to. Plenty of shaded sitting spots. Friendly service and they made me something that wasn’t even on the coffee menu (it was simple). 9/10, would def go back, and make a regular spot if I was in area more often. -great name and logo too
