Crema's Take

This hidden gem on University Avenue strikes an impressive balance between serious coffee craft and cozy refuge, with a particularly strong reputation for creative specialty drinks and exceptional pastries that keep regulars coming back. The warm, peaceful ambiance makes it equally suited for a solo work session with your laptop or catching up with friends, though its popularity means you might need to arrive early or off-peak to snag a seat. Beyond the thoughtfully made traditional and signature coffees, the menu extends to unique low-caffeine options like their matcha tea, giving you plenty of reasons to linger in this inviting space.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

I stopped by this charming little café on University Avenue. Parking can be a bit tricky—I ended up using a nearby lot that technically belonged to other shops, but it seemed fine. Not sure if they have dedicated parking. The café itself has such a unique vibe—stylish, cozy,…
