Crema's Take

Housed in a beautifully restored historic mercantile building on Nicholasville's Main Street, this spot feels less like a coffee shop and more like a beloved community gathering place with its sprawling barn-like layout and genuine warmth from staff. Whether you're settling in for serious work with a signature creative drink, meeting a friend over a BLT that locals rave about, or letting the kids roam while you linger over coffee, the spacious, thoughtfully designed room makes everyone feel welcome. The coffee and food quality consistently outshine chains at better prices, which explains why regulars keep coming back—some even willing to wait half an hour for their order.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great local place. We decided to stop by for a break in the work day. The Cafe has a variety of seating. If you want to sit at a table and do some work, it is a quiet, nice workspace. If you want to relax on a comfy sofa chair with an end table for your coffee and cake you can…
