Crema's Take
“Nestled in Clifton Park Center, this café-bookstore hybrid strikes an impressive balance between serious coffee craft and welcoming community space, with espresso-focused drinks that locals praise for their smoothness and care. Beyond the excellent lattes and creative specialty beverages, it's genuinely designed for lingering—whether you're working on a laptop, enjoying a full breakfast with family, or browsing their curated selection of used and new books while sipping a lavender tea. The warm, supportive atmosphere extends to their commitment to local artists, making it feel less like a typical mall café and more like a genuine neighborhood gathering place.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

Not quite a da Vinci masterpiece. Wanted to try to place for a while now but their kitchen hours would end just before I could get out of work on a normal day, but at some point they started to sell liquor and thus were forced to keep the kitchen open during all hours. Works…
I ordered a Caprese Salad , it was 90% spinach and romaine , maybe 2 ounces of mozzarella and one small tomato. The worst caprese salad I ever had and for $9.50 plus tip, I would say way overpriced. The coffee was OK, not particularly robust or full bodied.
Great place to have a latte and sit in their large dining area. Located in Clifton Park Center mall. Nice concept of used and new books for sale. Intriguing food menu. They currently have a Gilmore Girl coffee menu. Got a large Luke that was real weak and light. Definitely needs…
