Crema's Take
“This West Orange neighborhood gem wins hearts with genuine hospitality and unexpectedly adventurous food that goes well beyond typical coffee shop fare—think jollof rice with smoked jumbo wings alongside expertly pulled lattes, all at prices that feel like a steal. The owner and staff create a warm, unhurried atmosphere where regulars and newcomers alike feel like family, making it the kind of place where you might pop in for a quick coffee and pastry but end up staying for a full homestyle breakfast. It's the rare spot that nails both the coffee craft and the food quality while keeping that genuine, personable touch that makes you want to come back.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

Delicious food, I had the jollof rice with smoked jumbo wings, yummy. Wings were juicy and delicious, the rice was tasty also. Topped it off with a cup of lemonade that was refreshing and not overly sweet! 10/10, would definitely recommend and would come back again
Food is pretty good and the customer service is top notch! The owner is really nice and personable. The menu offers a lot of options, whether you want just a sandwich or a full on meal!
Love this place the lattes are delicious and the price is great. The customer service is excellent.
I was excited to see a new local business open up in the neighborhood, so I gave them a try and was not disappointed! Delicious food with large portions! The lady behind the counter (who I believe is the owner) was lovely to talk to! Highly recommend!
