Crema's Take

“Tucked into Richmond's Shockoe Bottom, this Haitian bakery and café is a genuine neighborhood gem where the owner greets you like family and every pastry and savory item seems to come straight from someone's kitchen. The fresh-baked goods—particularly the banana bread and Haitian beef patties—and authentic Haitian fare arrive hot and made-to-order, so patience is part of the experience, but regulars swear it's worth the wait for the warmth of the space and the care in every bite.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Visited for the first time today, and every single thing we tried was absolutely delicious! The Haitian Beef Patty, Pimento Cheese Biscuit, and the Strawberry Lemon Cake were divine, but the Haitian Hot Chocolate was pure bliss, and hands down the best hot chocolate I’ve ever…
