Crema's Take

Tucked into the charming village of Ballston Spa, this cozy breakfast spot wins hearts with homemade sourdough toast, thoughtfully crafted waffles, and a genuinely friendly staff that makes you feel welcomed whether you're squeezing in for a quick coffee or settling in for a leisurely morning. The intimate space punches above its weight with both traditional coffee drinks and an impressive gluten-free menu, making it the kind of neighborhood gathering place where families linger over excellent breakfast and the quality-to-price ratio feels like a steal.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Stopped in on a random Saturday that they were open on. We were greeted by a friendly staff member who explained the ordering process. We ordered our food and sat outside. Our food arrived quickly even though the restaurant was full. The Strawberry Rhubarb Waffle special was…
