Crema's Take

This Springfield institution has earned its loyal following through generous, nostalgic donuts that remind customers of simpler times, though quality can be inconsistent. What really shines here is the genuine warmth of the staff—particularly afternoon regulars who praise team members like Marell Thomas for remembering names and creating a genuinely pleasant experience. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where a quick grab-and-go pastry feels personal, even if the donuts themselves are a bit of a gamble.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

There is a man named Marell Thomas Who works there in the afternoon and evenings. He is very nice, very pleasant. Always calls me by first name when I walk in. Great guy and very pleasant experience.
