Crema's Take
“This late-opening Medford gem has captured hearts with its vibrant fusion menu that beautifully blends Indian and French influences, all completely vegetarian with thoughtful vegan pastry options that keep regulars coming back multiple times a month. The owner's genuine warmth and the locally-curated art on the walls create such an inviting, cozy atmosphere that it's become a beloved meeting spot for the Tufts community and beyond. Their standout drinks—from expertly pulled espresso to what reviewers call the best mango lassi around—pair perfectly with the thoughtfully crafted light bites and breakfast offerings.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

Wonderful new locally owned cafe!! So awesome that they’re open late also. It’s such a sweet vibe in there, and the owner is SO nice. They had a local person do the art on the wall, and though it’s not big, it feels light and spacious.
