Crema's Take
“This vibrant Vietnamese spot has mastered the art of the salted coffee—a rich, perfectly balanced brew that keeps locals coming back again and again—paired with massive, crispy banh mi that's genuinely some of the best around. Beyond coffee, you'll find yourself immersed in a spacious, modern-yet-cozy atmosphere that feels like a little corner of Saigon, complete with traditional Vietnamese beverages like pressed sugarcane juice and che, making it perfect for leisurely sits with friends or fellow coffee enthusiasts. The genuine warmth of the staff and their commitment to supporting Vietnamese culture in the Tacoma/Lakewood area makes this a place that feels like discovering a hidden gem in your own neighborhood.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
