Crema's Take

This convenient drive-thru spot in Columbia has carved out a loyal following for its creative seasonal lattes and thoughtful sugar-free options that cater to health-conscious coffee lovers. Beyond the quick-grab convenience, there's a surprisingly peaceful sitting area hidden inside where regulars linger over cold brew and pastries, making it equally suited for a slow afternoon or a rushed weekday caffeine run. The baristas genuinely seem to care, offering honest guidance about drink sweetness and remembering familiar faces throughout the week.

The staff is mostly really nice. I usually end up here during the week and it's usually the same person. I used to be a regular but the coffee quality has definitely gone down. The lattes I used to order taste nothing like they used to and I can unfortunately make better with my Nespresso. Their cold brew is great though, and hasn't changed. Would like some better food options.

First time trying this place & it was so YUM. They have so many options & for those who are a bit health conscious there is PLENTY of SF options. I had their sugar free peach cobbler iced latte with macadamia milk 10/10 with a spinach & feta pretzel which was so soft and filled with deliciousness. I highly recommend.

This is our new local coffee spot. If we want to go somewhere instead of making our own at home, this is the place to go. We enjoy the different flavors of latte offered, including the seasonal specialties. The waffle breakfast sandwich is my favorite. There is a rewards app with the ability to order ahead too for those who like to do that.

This is a coffee drive through that also offers smoothies, teas and food items. I tried a 30 below which is basically a Frappuccino. I just got a oatmilk vanilla which was delicious. All of the fraps can be made dairy free and the staff is knowledgeable about what syrups/flavorings are gluten free and dairy free. They have a line of coffees that are basically like a Wendy’s frosty. My daughter loved hers! But, these are not available dairy free.

This is a little drive through coffee but there is a walk up window too and a surprisingly quiet sitting area. The barista was friendly and warned me about how sweet the things I asked about were. I ended up going with an extra shot iced breve with lavender foam - it was my second favorite coffee drink I've ever had (first being a pistachio latte in savannah). The coffee roast is delicious, compared to starbucks lavender this was delicately blended (compared to starbucks jelly like flavoring that floats around or sits on the bottom). I love that the flavor was blended into the cold foam. They have some interesting flavors, but I'm not a fan of anything too sweet. The lavender was perfect. My friends had gotten these sodas, I forget what they are called but I liked them too! Interesting, effervescent flavors, and not super sweet.
