Crema's Take

Tucked into Berkeley, this thoughtfully run cafe balances exceptional espresso drinks with an impressive bakery program where every item—from buttery scones studded with generous ham chunks to delicate Persian pistachio cake—shows real skill and care. The menu ventures beyond standard coffee shop fare with creative offerings like date lattes and Persian tea, all executed with remarkable balance and restraint on the sweetness. Regulars keep coming back for the quality across the board and the genuinely warm, helpful staff who make the outdoor seating feel like your own neighborhood spot.

I’ve become a huge fan of this new(ish) cafe. I’ve stopped by a few times now and have tried several of their cakes, including the strawberry and blueberry. One of my favorite things is that the menu seems to change with every visit—it’s always fun to see what the daily selection is! Everything I’ve tried has been delicious and, importantly, not too sweet. My personal favorite is the blueberry cake (pictured), though I did notice they’ve scaled back the amount of blueberries on top compared to my first visit three months ago. Still, it's a great spot for high-quality treats!

I stopped by Mey Cafe and Bakery recently and was genuinely impressed. The date latte and Persian tea were both excellent, really balanced and not too sweet. The baking shows a lot of care and skill: the pastry and quiche had a properly flaky crust and fillings that actually taste of the ingredients, not just sugar. The outdoor seating has a great, relaxed vibe. It’s the kind of place where people actually hang out for a while, read, work, or talk, so it already has a nice community feel. Staff are warm and professional, and you can tell there’s real pride in what they’re doing. Thoughtful execution, good atmosphere, and a place I’d gladly return to.

I stopped by to check them out, and they are so tasty! I had a ham and cheese scone with big chonks of ham, an almond cookie, and a latte. Everything was great. The scone was moist, the coffee was excellent and the cookie! It was fluffy and moist, more like a little bite of marzipan merengue. Everything is hand made on site, not the same ole same ole. I promptly texted all my cafe buddies. We’re coming back! The place is cute and clean and the service was excellent I took a star off for atmosphere just because the door was open and I was cold.
