Crema's Take

This beloved breakfast destination in Bayonne has built a devoted following willing to cross state lines for their specialty waffles, thoughtfully crafted coffee, and creative breakfast menu that draws praise for both quality and variety. The warm, family-friendly atmosphere and genuinely friendly staff create an inviting spot perfect for lingering over matcha tea or signature drinks, though regulars note the vegan options have recently become more limited. It's the kind of place that inspires Instagram posts and repeat visits, where the cinnamon bun waffles are legendary—just ask if you prefer less of their signature syrup coating.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Friendly staff, delish coffee and fraps. Topped with a delicious cinnabun waffle. There is a lot of sugar on the waffle so if that's not your style, ask for less syrup bc it's sweet. It was a nice pit stop between church and home. Will be back ☺️
