Crema's Take

This intimate Cambridge café strikes an impressive balance between serious espresso craft and genuine hospitality, with baristas who treat every order and conversation as something worth their full attention. The pastries—particularly their almond croissants and notably restrained cinnamon buns—are clearly made with real care, and the thoughtfully designed space somehow feels both peaceful and energizing, even when it's packed on weekend mornings. It's the kind of place where you'll want to linger with your coffee, whether you're meeting a friend or settling in with your laptop for a few hours.

Wonderful coffee and even better pastries in a very aesthetically pleasing atmosphere! We loved the almond croissant. Plus, the baristas were a delight to chat with.

I love this place. My friend recommended me “you must go there!!!” I ordered elevate and cinnamon bun, they are amazing! The cinnamon bun is not that sweet, which is perfect

Cozy little cafe with great pastries and very smooth coffee. I just wish the shop was larger so that there was more seating available. It was very busy on a Sat morning. Service was very friendly, and prices were reasonable for the quality. I'd come back!

I stumbled upon this spot online and had to check it out and I’m so glad I did! This place is hands down one of the most peaceful and aesthetically pleasing spots I’ve experienced in Boston. Honestly, it feels like something you'd find in LA. It has this elevated, modern vibe that’s super inviting. They have a great selection of pastries, all from Iggy’s Bakery. The croissants are perfectly flaky, buttery, and just the right size barely bigger than your palm. The coffee is top notch, too. We all got lattes, and I tried mine with their in house macadamia almond milk, which was absolutely delicious. It’s a bit pricey, but honestly, every sip is totally worth it.

Such an adorable little cafe! Although the street parking is kinda hard to find, its interior design is very charming. I really appreciate the café's cozy ambiance and excellent service. However, the drinks could use some improvement—the matcha is a bit weak, and the coffee lacks a rich aroma. That said, their specialty drinks are absolutely delicious! Bakery is good as well. Ham&cheese croissant is a must-try!
