Crema's Take

Tucked into Gainesville's dining scene, this bright modern diner strikes that perfect balance between a local third place and a destination brunch spot, drawing regulars who linger over creative morning dishes like shakshuka ranchero and those legendary cheesy grits tots. The team clearly takes pride in both their coffee—try their signature cinnamon toast latte—and their full breakfast menu, creating a genuinely warm atmosphere where attentive service makes you want to stay awhile.

Really cute place. Food and service was great. I went on a Thursday morning and there weren’t too many customers in there. It seemed like most the people in their were regulars or everyone just knew each other. The waitresses were friendly with everyone. The biscuits are homemade. I don’t normally like biscuits but these were pretty good. More dense than fluffy but still good. I ordered a sausage and cheese omelette. Food wasn’t anything above average but it was a nice little place to go for breakfast. I see on the weekends it does get pretty busy. From the time I got in to the time I left I spent maybe 45 minutes in there. They were quick to get your order to you and kept up with the refills. A few people that ordered after me ordered lattes. They looked good. Next time I go I plan to get one.

What a cool place! Nicely decorated modern diner vibe. Very bright and comfortable. Server was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. Try the cheesy grits tots. Totally decadent and delicious! I had the moco loco and my companion had boring eggs and bacon (what a waste when there are so many great menu options) and both dishes were cooked perfectly and delish. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back.

The issues started before we even sat down. The host/hostess said there was a five minute wait and they'd text us. No prob. We sat outside and waited. Noticed another two top came in about five mins later, then were sat a few mins later. I went in and asked why they were sat first and was told "that was my fault. I was told we had a Two top available and I alerted the wrong group. But I can seat you at the counter if you'd like" no apology or real solution. We went back outside and stood in the rain. We actually tried to go to The Top instead but they were closed. We came back and got sat 5 mins later. Host wound up being our server. They attempted to take our order- I asked to get egg whites with the omelette option due to cholesterol concerns and she responded "no, we don't do egg whites" my sweet midwestern husband even said to me "I thought she was joking" bc her response was so curt and inhospitable. Told them we'd need another minute. We would have left right then bc I didn't see many healthy options on the menu (Husband doesn't care but I do), but we'd already ordered our drinks that were served. No less than ten minutes later did we manage to flag her down. I ordered the tofu scramble. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy, which at this point she decided to let us know they were out of. 10+ mins into sitting (after waiting outside) after already having a menu discussion, and now is the time to let us know? Ok so we don't want to wait any longer so he decides very quickly on a BLT. Food comes. Tofu scramble is disgusting. Probably higher in cholesterol that the omelette would have been. I took one bite in total (no exaggeration- pictured below). Thing is- maybe I just would have not liked tofu scramble and that would have been that. I definitely wouldn't have written a review about not liking a dish... but this terrible customer service/ hospitality experience, where I basically felt singled out by someone the entire time... that was what prompted me to write this review. I don't know what would make anyone in hospitality make anyone feel like they should have such a bad experience from start to finish, which is exactly what this person made me feel like (and I'm actually a restaurant publicist!, so imagine how bad it must've been). My husband said "wow what did you do to her to make her hate us so much!"

So good! We got the French toast which was amazing, and the pesto panini which was also amazing. The mocha latte was good, the cinnamon toast latte was okay, was not as sweet as you’d think it is. The house fries and the siracha aioli are so good. Great place, good atmosphere. A bit expensive but worth it.

Finally got to try this place out, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the shakshuka ranchero and it was so good! It combined two of my favorite brunch dishes into one. The atmosphere is also very cute, old school diner meets new-wave Golden Girls. Love it. They also have tons of vegetarian and vegan options! Definitely coming back.
