Crema's Take

Nestled along Wilmington's riverfront, this bakery strikes an inviting balance between a serious coffee destination and a leisurely gathering spot, with reviewers consistently praising their flaky, buttery croissants and reliably good cold brew. The sparkling-clean space welcomes laptop workers, families, and weekend browsers alike, making it feel less like a transaction and more like a genuine neighborhood gem where you might return three times in a week just to try another pastry.

Loved at this place. Love their interior. Their coffee was really good, and they have a bunch of deserts options. There was even a food menu with a lot of options, but we didn't have the chance to order any food, so I'm not really sure about the taste, but I saw other people order food and it looked amazing. I am also so glad that this place stays open late. It's rare to find cafes that stay open late, and that's a shame, so it's great to see that there is one, especially in this area around the river.

Great bakery, with plenty of pastry and coffee options. Located right off the river walk in Wilmington, it’s great to grab a coffee and take a walk. The iced black & tan had good flavor and the peach scone was absolutely amazing. Plenty of seating inside and the place was immaculate.

A hidden gem in Wilmington and such a nice small business. I like to come here for my weekend snacks and sometimes I spend some time reading. The place is always sparkling clean and inviting. Friendly staff and good service. So far have tried their croissant and some mousse desserts. The croissant is flakey and nicely layered. Very generous with the protein serving (I normally get a salmon croissant). The mousse is silky and has the right texture and consistency (Only wish it was a bit less sweet but I'm biased there as I tend to be sensitive to sweetness). Overall a great spot to have some coffee or a snack, or to hangout with your friends.

If you go by looks, the place is an easy 5. The sampling of items I tried all looked amazing but most of them fell flat. The cookie croissant and chocolate croissant were good; flaky and flavorful. The scones and cookies were sawdust consistent and lacked taste. The bread pudding was just not good.

Delicious! Everything we had was fantastic. We had a almond and a chocolate croissant that we loved and came back for a second time..then third time to take some home. Also had several other items, all wonderful, the crepe, the quiches and the fruit tarts they were all perfect and they melted in my mouth, and of course I got some to take home. Each time there was a huge line, but it went very fast. Enjoyed good coffee while eating inside and the atmosphere was great with the staff being very friendly and welcoming. Will be back every time we visit Wilmington.
