Crema's Take

This beloved Surfside Beach spot brilliantly balances exceptional espresso-forward coffee with a curated selection of fresh pastries and breakfast sandwiches that locals and visitors keep coming back for. The warm, unhurried atmosphere—with that cozy, almost Portland-like vibe—makes it perfect for lingering over a pour over or meeting up with friends, though expect a delightful crowd during peak hours. The staff's genuine friendliness paired with their attention to both the craft of the coffee and the balance of flavors in their food creates the kind of neighborhood gem that feels like a discovery every time you visit.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Hotel ran out of coffee early. A daily occurrence and I have or have my coffee. On a whim I looked up best places and a list by Nora Battle came up. I’m sure all of them were good choices and she wrote great comments about each, but being a close local favorite for her and the…
