Crema's Take

Tucked into Ellettsville, this cozy neighborhood gem pairs thoughtfully made traditional coffee drinks with genuinely exceptional homemade pastries—their scones are the stuff of local legend, with devoted regulars raving about flavors like pistachio and the perfect textural contrast of soft, fluffy insides with a delicate crunch. It's the kind of intimate, unhurried space where Amy and the team know your name, the breakfast spreads are homemade and care-forward, and you'll find yourself lingering longer than you planned, grateful to have discovered a place that feels less like a coffee shop and more like where you belong.

What to expect

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

The cutest coziest little bakery. Scones are out of this world, legitimately. Soft, fluffy on the inside, nice little crunch on the outside with icing drizzled on top. Wonderful selection of flavors. The scones are big like double the size of a regular scone. Friendliest workers…
