Crema's Take

Nestled in Miami, this espresso-focused café has mastered the art of traditional Cuban coffee while crafting creative signature drinks that justify the premium prices—think capiblancas spiked with liquor and expertly pulled shots that draw consistent 4.8-star praise. The intimate, art-filled space practically begs you to linger by the window with a pastry, and the genuinely warm staff like Miry seem genuinely invested in guiding you toward your perfect cup, whether you're a Cuban coffee newcomer or a specialty coffee devotee.

Nice place to sit and look out the window at people passing by. And amazingly they figured out how to include tips in the prices. Probably one of the 5 places in the country that have this advanced technology. Love it. Come at the right time and you will see freshly roasted coffee come out of the roaster.

We went to this cafe for a Cuban coffee. The service was perfect, the atmosphere very nice and authentic and the coffee itself very good. But man, 11 $ for a coffee ? Was there gold in it ? I mean no coffee is worth 11$ for me no matter how good. A total scam. Maybe you can eat well but if you only want a coffee I think it’s better to go elsewhere.

I had an amazing experience here and the coffee was amazing. I had the capiblanca it has liquor in it. It was a sweet coffee which I enjoyed. Miry was an awesome server and upbeat full of life it felt like I was at home. I will definitely return when I come back to Miami. If your a coffee this is must stop while in Lil Havana.

We came here to try Cuban coffee. Never tried it! Miri was so sweet and helpful. She suggested the most popular drinks/ pastry and we were not disappointed. Our drinks were delicious! Pepe was kind enough to notice my husband’s coffee had not been stirred 😂 so thankfully my husband wasn’t bouncing off the walls after one sip. The pastry was guava and cheese! Truly delicious. Not too sweet. My kids had a mango smoothie and again not disappointed and not overly sweet. Definitely a place to visit! Great customer service. Good prices. Plenty of sitting space. Clean.

We stopped into this adorable coffee shop filled with gorgeous pieces of art. We wanted to try a traditional Cuban coffee and the beautiful Miry helped us pick out the perfect coffees. Miry is the sweetest gem and knew immediately that we were tourists and took care to help us find the best coffees. When she delivered the delightful layered coffees she offered to take a picture for us. She has the most infectious smile and energy. We recommend this because the coffee was delicious, but we highly recommend because Mirta made us feel so special.
