Crema's Take

“Oromo Cafe in Bucktown is a cozy gem where creativity meets comfort, whether you're ordering a meticulously crafted espresso drink or stumbling upon an off-menu matcha that becomes unforgettable. Beyond excellent coffee, they've built a welcoming spot for lingering over gluten-free pastries and surprisingly excellent food like omelets, making it equally beloved by pastry enthusiasts and dedicated coffee folks alike. The warm atmosphere and thoughtful details make it feel like the kind of neighborhood spot you'll find yourself returning to again and again.”

What to expect

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