C.R.E.A.M. Cafe
428 S 2nd St, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“This cozy neighborhood spot crafts visually stunning specialty drinks with real care—their coffee flights at $20 offer a thoughtful way to explore their rotating seasonal creations—and pairs them with generous breakfast plates where sides come included with your order. The vibe is distinctly Instagram-worthy with abundant plants and a welcoming atmosphere that regulars love, though be prepared for a busy scene and note that seating can be tight during peak hours. The food rises to the occasion with creative options like breakfast burritos and unique bagel sandwiches, making it a genuinely good spot for lingering over both coffee and conversation.”

Loved the vibes, the coffee flight, and the food. The flight was $20 which is honestly a great price considering the care that goes into crafting the drinks. Be aware that it was busy and service was a little slow but totally reasonable given the circumstances, just don’t come here in a huge rush. Everyone working was very kind as well. I will definitely be back.
The service was great, everyone was polite and friendly. The drinks were even better, they were so well made and beautifully decorated, but not being able to sit down really affected me enjoying my first experience at this cafe. I’m glad that they are booked and busy, however, more seating is definitely needed. I tried November’s coffee flight and I might just get a full size drink to go next time.
Been meaning to try this place since it moved into the neighborhood and I’ll definitely want to try more. I got the breakfast burrito with a side of potatoes. It might be a few bucks more than a breakfast sandwich at another nearby coffee shop. But the difference in quality and the inclusion of a side definitely increases the value factor. The food was made to order. Not a common thing at other coffee shops. I’ll be back to try more breakfast things. The pastry case was kind of bare and the coffee was just ok. But it was just a basic drip. I have yet to try one of the fancier coffees. Picture is half of my burrito. Had to give it a fair bite before I reviewed.
A very cute little coffee shop, and the vibe they create. The food is tasty, and there are plants of unique options. I enjoy that a side is included with the price. However, the coffee is incredibly sweet, and there was a near excessive amount of caramel syrup in my drink, so all I could taste was caramel milk, with no coffee flavor. If that is the type of “coffee” you like, this place is for you, but not for me.
The philly cheesesteak bagel sandwich was good, but the coffee? Oh dear. My husband got a mocha and it tasted burnt. I tried their seasonal flight and only liked half of them (apple cider chai & maple cold brew). The matcha was okay at best and the sweet potato latte had zero flavor.
