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.

I AM OBSESSED! ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED!!!! I've been to this place 4 times already this month and my credit card is crying but the fooooood oh my good lord!!! The host is so sweet and friendly, the coffee made me feel like I need 5 more gallons because it's so tasty, the food is absolutely delicious and filling. It's soul food. I'm sick of other cafes giving salads for vegan options - this cafe is a heaven for vegetarians. I could write a 10 page essay on why I love this cafe!! I want to get my next apartment in front of this cafe. I love you buzzin bean.

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.

Lovely new lunch and coffee spot! The menu is completely vegetarian, which excited us as we are vegetarian. Not a huge menu but everything we had was great. Kind of like fusion between Indian and French cafe food. Clean modern decor with a gorgeous fancy ceiling, super friendly and helpful staff. Will be back!

Editing to add that I went back today and there was a THIRD vegan pastry option! This was a round bun with a savory filling that was delicious. Both pastries with filling were $5 each. My second time trying this spot and was excited to learn that they now offer two vegan pastry options. They are both savory pastries. One of them (I think the puff pastry) has a savory filling and it was SO GOOD. 10/10 would recommend.
