Crema's Take

This charming, colorful coffee house near Union Station wins hearts with consistently excellent handcrafted drinks—from perfectly balanced lattes to iced chais with the right sweetness—and generously portioned breakfast fare like their two-egg breakfast buns. The staff goes the extra mile making groups feel welcomed, and the cozy, slow-sit atmosphere seems tailor-made for lingering over a smoothie bowl or catching up with friends. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where locals and visitors alike leave feeling genuinely cared for.

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.
