Crema's Take

“This charming Kauai spot has earned serious devotion for its gluten-free baking, with fans raving that their GF bread rivals anything they've had elsewhere, while the coffee is consistently hot and made-to-order with a line out the door that moves faster than you'd expect. Beyond the pastries, they're turning out genuinely crave-worthy breakfast fare like smoky, flavorful pork sandwiches with perfectly chewy buns and a full menu that keeps both families and solo travelers coming back, though some of their acai bowls could use more care in execution.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

So glad I found them, we went there 2 times in a week ! Everything was fresh and delicious. Price was correct for the amount of food you get. The place is nice. There are some good vegetarian option but I would definitely recommend the breakfast burrito

This place came highly recommended by locals. Very unique atmosphere! Very busy but service was excellent. They make their own syrups in house as well as made-from-scratch pastries! They offer a few gluten free treats. The banana syrup is delicious!!

I’m not sure why this isn’t more like a 4.8-4.9 stars. Everything is super fresh. Their sandwiches seem to be more fresh than a lot of sandwiches in the mainland states. Even something as simple as a turkey club was a step above. Coffees (we got white mochas) were awesome!! Oh…

Amazing breakfast place in Kapa. Friendly and welcoming service. Each dish we tasted was so good. Kids went bananas over the banana bread. We went back the next day to get some for our plan ride back home. Plenty of parking front and back. Finding a place to sit inside could be…

Truly the best GF bread I’ve ever had! I’ve been gluten free a very long time and this was delicious! Rest of my family loved all the food and drinks as well! Great service and cute atmosphere.

The atmosphere was great and store was cute, but the açaí bowl was so icy and not great toppings unfortunately. The croissant sandwich was pretty good, but nothing great. The bathroom was pretty gross too. Such a bummer! I had high hopes after reading the reviews.
