Crema's Take

Tucked into the historic 1905 Salt Lake Hardware Company building, this espresso-focused café offers a genuinely cozy atmosphere that draws in everyone from transit commuters to laptop workers seeking a quiet refuge in downtown. The owner's warmth matches the quality of their Italian coffee and thoughtfully crafted sandwiches, making it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like discovering a friend's favorite neighborhood spot.

This place is absolutely wonderful! Great place for a quick breakfast. Close to a public transport hub. And the lady that runs it so so kind.

The cafe is a short walk through the Hardware building after entering the front door. I didn't try the food but it looks pretty good! It's a quiet place around offices. Great for working or something. The inside of the hardware building is really cool, loved sitting in the heart of it's open tall room. Also, coffee is cheap here!

This cafe has such in interesting atmosphere. It is on the bottom floor of a building (The Salt Lake Hardware Company building) that was built in 1905. It has been restored and turned into an office building. The cafe is in an open area in the middle of the building is open all the way up to the roof. It was fun to just look around as I ate. They are only open Monday through Thursday 8am - 2pm, for office hours breakfast and lunch, however the lunch I had was really good. I got there on a Wednesday about 20 minutes before they were closing and there were only two other customers before me. It was not busy. This was nice for me because I LOVE a quiet atmosphere to eat in. I ordered the Basil Pesto Genoa sandwich and a water bottle. It came with chips. In my opinion it had too much pesto on it, making it a bit too salty. However, it was grilled and done to perfection. It was really good.

I found this café while I was waiting for the frontrunner one day and was immediately struck by its cozy, inviting atmosphere. It turned out to be the perfect spot to settle in and get some work done on my computer. Not only that, I was pleasantly surprised by their diverse food selection. I tried the turkey basil pesto sandwich with homemade chicken noodle soup for the first time and it was delicious. Highly recommend anyone to come check this place out!

My favourite spot for lunch! Phenomenal selection of delicious sandwiches. Highly recommend to try house sandwich and clam chowder. They also provide best Italian coffee in downtown area. The building has a special atmosphere with the modern factory design. Plus you always feel welcomed by the owner Sandra.
