Crema's Take

This cozy Virginia Beach spot near the bay delivers a surprisingly robust menu that goes well beyond typical coffee shop fare, with quality pastries and full breakfast options that genuinely impress. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff create an ideal refuge for lingering over a laptop or catching up with friends, though you might want to scope out your barista of choice—consistency with the espresso drinks could use some work. It's the kind of place that rewards a spontaneous stop-by with charm and substance, even if their holiday lineup could use a little creative expansion.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Awesome spot. Fantastic menu. Super friendly staff. One complaint is their holiday menu. Can you even call it a holiday menu without an eggnog latte? Add that next year and I’ll be your best friend. (Don’t use that fake eggnog powder like those clowns over at Starbucks)

This place surprised me. I thought it was a coffee shop with a few snacks or breakfast sandwiches. They have a surprisingly large menu and each thing we ordered was amazing quality and tasted delicious. Their special sauces on their breakfast bowls stand out and packed with…
