Crema's Take

The baristas here actually remember regulars by name and drink order, creating the kind of personal coffee shop experience that makes you ditch chains like Starbucks for good. Their espresso-focused drinks—like the perfectly balanced iced peppermint latte—are legitimately excellent, and the convenient drive-thru setup with dual lanes makes it an ideal pit stop for Bay Area commuters heading to Tahoe. Fresh pastries and a compact, welcoming space round out what feels like a genuine neighborhood gem, even in a highway-adjacent location.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Drive-thru.

10/10 stars. The coffee is the best coffee I have tasted in a long time. I stopped going to Starbucks and started coming here a month ago, and it’s soooooooo good. I look forward to my coffee everyday.

The iced peppermint latte was perfectly well balanced! A great place to stop and grab coffee for an early morning headed to Tahoe from the bay.

I really used to like this place, but yesterday was a big disappointment. I got my girls vanilla milkshakes, and about 5–10 minutes after drinking them, they both threw up all over the backseat. It was nothing but milkshake coming back up, so I checked what was left in the…

Really nice lemon cake, bear claw, and a decent oat chai latte, all in a super convenient little shop right off of the highway. As a tip, there are two lanes, there was a whole lane of cars on one side, and I drove up to the front of the other side.
