Crema's Take

Tucked into Newport's riverfront, this espresso-focused spot has mastered the art of craft cocktails and specialty coffee with equal finesse—their blackberry smash and espresso martinis have become pilgrimage-worthy drinks. The recently remodeled space radiates warmth with its inviting patio and genuinely friendly staff who make both marathon runners from out of town and dedicated travelers from across the country feel like regulars. Whether you're settling in for a slow afternoon or stopping by for a creative signature drink, the vibe here strikes that rare balance between laid-back and expertly executed.
