Crema's Take

This espresso-focused San Rafael gem has earned serious loyalty for its exceptionally crafted traditional and creative specialty drinks, with reviewers raving about everything from silky cappuccinos to house-made chais customized to your taste. The baked goods here are genuinely stellar—think scones and oversized muffins that rival the coffee itself—making it the kind of place where locals linger and travelers happily detour off their route. It's got that perfect coffeehouse warmth: friendly staff, excellent ingredients, and the kind of quality that keeps people coming back after years away.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Perfect place to stop on a long ride. The cold brew with snow storm is awesome. Basically a cold Irish Coffee without the Irish part. Delicious baked goods and friendly staff too.

Great place, and super friendly! We stopped for an espresso and a chai, would highly recommend both. The chai can be made to your preference - sweet, spicy, or balanced. All house made. The pasties look amazing, we will definitely be back to try those!
