Crema's Take

Tucked away in Tallahassee, this bistro has earned serious love for its exceptional pastries and baked goods—think croissants that rival San Francisco's finest and scones worth planning your morning around. The dining room feels genuinely beautiful and welcoming for lingering conversations, though service can be inconsistent; when you hit it right, the team greets you with real warmth, and the breakfast spreads (especially when properly seasoned) and light fare pair perfectly with coffee.

Good baked breads, cookies, bagels and other treats. It was slow service today, not sure why. Please season your eggs just a bit, it elevates your food. Without it, it made the rest of the meal bland. Potato Hash was good, it's not exactly hash, which would mean shredded, not sliced, it's more like country potatoes. Deserts were great, that's spot on. Quiet, and peaceful, considering it's next to Monroe. We'll return again soon.

The place it's beautiful and the food was tasty. I would say the service is one of the best ones around the town. However I gave them the recommendation to look out for hygiene. Both bathrooms look like they never have been cleaned in their existence. I'm not talking about another customer leaving it in bad shape. I'm talking about floor and toilet with accumulated dirt and nastiness that would need months to be accumulated. Please please do better. I almost puke the food thinking if that's the standard for all the other areas.

One of the best bistro I have ever been. The price for the delicious food was very cheap. The food is to die for. The service is with a smile and let me tell you about the food!!!!!! OMG! Best in Tally! Please don’t forget or even pass on their pies.😍😍😍😍😍 if you don’t try it this place you will greatly regret it!

I went to Hawthorn Bistro for breakfast and tried a few things: the scone of the week (lemon poppyseed), the classic breakfast sandwich on brioche, and the beef hash. The lemon poppyseed scone was definitely the highlight — soft, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. The sandwich and hash were okay, but I asked for my eggs over easy and the yolk came out fully cooked, which was a letdown. The staff here are super friendly and helpful, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, perfect for a relaxed breakfast or coffee hangout. I’d love to come back and try their lunch menu, but as for breakfast, I’m not sure I’d give it another go. Still, it’s a lovely spot with great service and a lot of potential.

I knew they have the best pastries in tally. But I visited San Fransisco's famous bakery last week and found Hawthorn's croissant is even better. They provide a perfect heating service, and nicely allow to bring Lucky Goat's coffee. Their air conditioner is always freezing. Be warm up!
