Crema's Take

This spot nails the California farm-to-table vibe with legitimately excellent vegetarian cooking—their cauliflower burrito and smoothie bowls are standouts—and the kind of laid-back, time-warped market atmosphere that feels increasingly rare. It's spacious and genuinely welcoming to families, with friendly staff and a resident cat, making it ideal if you want to linger over coffee and brunch without feeling rushed. The vegan chef challenge offerings are worth seeking out specifically, and the whole operation has that effortless SoCal charm that's hard to fake.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. Slow-sit spot. Light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Great little spot for a meal. Lots of healthy vegetarian options. The cauliflower burrito is so good. It’s got a classic socal hippie market/restaurant vibe. The kind that feels lost in time. If you eat there go around the corner and sit in the garden :)

Incredible smoothies, breakfast items, and burritos. We love it here! Also immaculate vibes. And the cutest cat if you’re lucky enough to spot him napping on one of the stools.
