Crema's Take
“This Bellingham spot has earned serious love for their creative seasonal coffee lines and consistently excellent execution across both traditional and signature drinks, with particular praise for their silky-smooth blended drinks and espresso milkshakes. The team genuinely seems to enjoy helping customers discover something new, pairing quick service with real friendliness that keeps people coming back—especially around the holidays when their limited offerings become a local event to anticipate.”

Love their Halloween coffees. The staff there are friendly with great coffee ideas if you are looking for something different. I can't wait to see the Christmas coffee line up 🤩 This Halloween they had a spider-berry-coffee with a plastic spider attached, a cookie-butter-coffee, and a campfire-toasty-pumpkin-marshmallow coffee which all were tasty. I never feel rushed and always feel welcomed.
When you need a quick pick-me-up, this is a great place to stop. Every beverage I've ever ordered has been really good, and the service is always quick and friendly.
Sadly the question should have been 'would you like some coffee with your ice?'. Good iced Americano what was there.
Favorite coffee stand in town! They always have really good drink specials, and they make the *best* blended drinks that have that perfect smooth texture. I highly recommend their espresso milkshake. They're always pleasant, kind, and have a great vibe going on ☀️
I ordered a Latte and a bagel sandwich. They have three options listed for bagels, bagel w/cream cheese, breakfast bagel w/cream cheese, and a bagel sandwich a the pricing getting bigger with each bagel option. I’m not sure if it was a mix up or if it is just a sad option for a “bagel sandwich” but what I got was just a lil bagel with a big ol’ glob of cream cheese. I was charged appropriately for what I had ordered, but for $5 I was expecting… much more. I guess I don’t know what I was expecting, but with “bagel with cream cheese” listed at around $2 less, it was the last thing I expected. Despite that disappointment, the latte was good. They had oat milk available as an option for milk alternative which was nice.
