Crema's Take

This beloved Newport Beach destination pairs carefully crafted small-batch donuts with quality espresso drinks in an adorable, albeit cozy space that keeps locals and road-trippers returning again and again. Their cake-style donuts hit that elusive sweet spot between fluffy interiors and crisp exteriors, while the coffee holds its own—especially the lattes—making it the kind of place worth planning a stop around. Fair warning: their popularity means flavors can sell out quickly and the shop gets cramped, but the samples they offer and genuinely friendly service make the grab-and-go experience feel special rather than rushed.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

Been wanting to come for at least a decade, but I don’t live in state. I was finally in town and close enough to stop by, and I was a bit disappointed. They were out of many flavors I wanted to try (not their fault), and the huckleberry doughnut had an aftertaste of dirty/tap…

Amazing donuts, the cake style is perfectly fluffy with a slight crisp. They have samples which is an added perk. The service is great but the store is a bit cramped. Definitely a grab and go situation!
