Crema's Take

“This espresso-focused Portland institution crafts beautifully aromatic drinks with precision, earning particular praise for classics like the con panna with their rare house-made whipped cream. The small but thoughtfully designed space draws regulars who keep returning for the consistently excellent baristas and that rare coffee shop magic where you feel genuinely welcomed rather than just transactional. Fresh pastries like their blueberry Danish pair perfectly with pour overs and creative signature drinks, though their seasonal flavors can be hit-or-miss depending on your sweetness preference.”

Incredibly delicious espresso. Highly recommend a con panna, gives you the perfect amount of espresso to taste, plus house-made whipped cream which is rare to find. Small but really nice atmosphere and very friendly staff!

The lavender latte was WAY too sweet I had to throw it away half way through because it tasted like straight syrup. Too bad bc I was really excited to try this place when in Portland !

The coffee here is beautifully aromatic, and the blueberry Danish was an absolute treat. Everything tastes fresh and perfectly flaky. The space is inviting and thoughtfully designed, and the smiling, attentive staff make you want to slow down, settle in, and enjoy every moment. One of those cafés you come for a quick coffee — and end up staying much longer. ❤️

We’ve been coming here for years. Tried other spots but this is home. Ant (Anthony?) and Jonny and Jenny and all the other baristas are top-notch for quality and chat. You’re not just a paying customer here, you quickly feel like a friend. I wish the food options changed with the seasons bc it gets a bit boring, but the coffee and conviviality are always great. We see a ton of regulars here every day, so it must be good!
