Crema's Take
“This Cedar Rapids gem blends excellent coffee craftsmanship with an unexpectedly curated shopping experience, where you'll find locally-roasted espresso drinks alongside art, candles, and thoughtful retail finds. The space itself feels intentionally designed for lingering—whether you're working solo on a laptop, catching up with friends over board games in the lounge area, or grabbing a fresh sandwich and pastry—all backed by genuinely attentive staff and a owner who clearly invests in her team. It's the kind of place where both the cappuccino and the whole vibe are worth the trip.”

My sister in law and I went early on a Saturday morning and it was perfect. There is so much to look at art, coffee, candles all kinds of neat little stuff. We had coffee and food and both were amazing. The cayenne mocha was a good balance of heat and sweet (I had three pumps of cayenne instead of five). And the avocado toast was just right to start the morning. Very flavorful and just the right portion. (Added bacon and egg). Buy the real star is the staff. Both ladies working were kind, helpful, and really started our Saturday off on the right foot. We are from out of state but will definitely be back next year when we come back!
The sandwich I had was wonderful. The coffee was good. The atmosphere-surprisingly not busy. Good seating - sofas,small tables and high tops. Of course it was almost noontime but on a Saturday that is perfect coffee shop time. Hopefully more people watching next time I come.
Came for the very first time and asked for recommendations. The personnel gave me great advice and service. Loved what they recommended
The owner gave her employees Labor Day off and she's here running the show - I think that's a pretty great thing to do as a boss. Excellent cappuccino, and the sourdough bread she used for the avocado toast was delicious. Great vibes in here, and they have little trinkets, cards, stickers and other small gifts. Highly recommend!
Craft'd 'after dark' with artistry and perfection 👌! This was a fab evening in a cute social Hotspot with a relaxing lounge area and tables to gather your friends for board games! However what will be the highlight of your evening, is when you explore their fabulous drink or martini menu! The staff serves up a beautiful cocktail in fabulous glassware! This place is a great trend for providing the daytime coffee shop scene with a perfect Craft'd cocktail after dark. Thank you to the owner and staff for graciously serving our family night of fun! Craftd in the daytime was a welcome visit for their coffees. I chose the malted dark chocolate mocha which was creamy and delicious! Lunch menu serves a variety of sandwiches but this falafel pita sandwich was like joy on a plate! So delicious and highly recommend!!
