Crema's Take

“This Oakland neighborhood gem pairs exceptionally crafted coffee with an impressive lineup of freshly baked goods that keep customers coming back—their butter croissants are legendary for their pillowy softness, and their cookies (especially the ginger variety) have earned serious devotion from regulars. It's the kind of place that becomes a weekend ritual, where you'll find a buzzing crowd arriving early to snag the best pastries and bagels alongside their perfectly pulled shots. The warm service and prime location near Kissel Hotel make it feel like a true community anchor, though arriving early is key to catching everything before it sells out.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

It is our weekend ritual! Their coffee is what you need to start your weekend on a perfect note! Their butter croissant is something to die for. As they say in Tamil, the croissant is as soft as a "halwa thundu" Great staff! Will keep coming here every weekend!!
