Crema's Take

This Wauwatosa bakery café is a weekend morning sanctuary where meticulously crafted pastries—think buttery croissants and elaborate kouign-amann—pair beautifully with quality Anodyne coffee in a warm, inviting space that smells of fresh bread. The owner's genuine hospitality and creative, unexpected flavor combinations in both pastries and light food make it the kind of neighborhood gem where regulars return again and again, whether grabbing a treat to enjoy at home or settling in for a leisurely sit.

Everything I've ever eaten from here has been next-level delicious. It's become our go-to treat spot for my husband to pick up on a weekend morning. (So I can enjoy at home in my pj's with my coffee). The owners are such kind, humble, and generous people. You can taste the care in every item-from the mindful tasty ingredients, to the creativity of the recipes. I would give you ten stars if it was possible!

I had been given a recommendation to try the croissants here. They make a wide assortment of pastry & dessert items. I sampled a kouign, and everything was truly wonderful. I am eager to return to try some of their lunch menu and enjoy the cafe space.

Absolutely delightful! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I love the charm of the space and the smell of fresh bread and pastries was so inviting! The owner who was working the register was kind and helpful. He took interest in me as a first time customer and was friendly with others who seemed like regulars. The coffee was good and the pastries were INCREDIBLE! We tried a morning bun and a cherry turnover. Both were so tasty and the morning bun was so soft! I can't wait to go back to try more. 10/10 would recommend!

Charming little gem with good Anodyne coffee and scrumptious bakery. Just one thing I wish they would fix - please post bakery item prices. Otherwise, every single treat was absolutely delicious. I was seriously wowed. The owner (? I think) named everything I pointed to before giving them to me, but I don’t remember all the names. I have to go by what they look like. (Please post bakery item names along with the price!) (Oh and sorry for the bad picture - he looks mad in the picture, but he was actually just really nice and smiling most of the time. I didn’t realize until way later that he looks mad in the picture lol) The big puffy cinnamon sugary puff - totally the best thing I had here. Super soft inside and kinda crusty outside, perfectly sweet but not too much. The little mini chocolate croissant lookalike but denser looking things - good, but not necessarily what I’d come back here for. Blueberry scone textured rectangular thing - not airy, but dense, packed with flavor, very filling and delicious.
