Crema's Take

This Clarendon spot has built a reputation as a genuinely welcoming neighborhood gathering place, where exceptional service and a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere make it ideal for lingering over coffee or weekend brunch with friends. While reviews suggest the pastry quality has been inconsistent lately, the cafe shines for its thoughtful drinks, full breakfast offerings, and staff who actually care—especially standout manager Angel—making it worth visiting for the experience and hospitality as much as the food.

What to expect

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

Very casual & laid back coffee shop with a good choice of cakes and desserts. The vibe is so relaxed and it offers out side sitting as well. Good for evening chat over a coffee or weekend bunch. Update: the food menue is also good for a caual dinning!

If I could give a 0 star, I so would! This location and experience was by far the worst first experience that I was so disgusted by the brand. I’ll keep it somewhat short. I ordered online for pick up. I opted for no ice in my drink and went for the gluten free challah bread or…
