Swedish Hill

Crema's Take

This beloved Austin spot excels at the art of slowing down, with a lovely outdoor area that beckons you to linger over their excellent cappuccinos and genuinely standout pastries and chocolate chip cookies. Whether you're catching up on work for hours or grabbing a quick breakfast, the warm staff and thoughtfully executed food—from pastry cases to fresh salads—make it feel less like a transaction and more like visiting a favorite neighborhood spot. Fair warning: the take-out fee might catch you off guard, and service can move at a leisurely pace, but regulars keep coming back because the quality and atmosphere make it worth your time.

pretty good food it can just be pretty slow. they also charge a “take out fee” which wasn’t communicated.

Spent a few days in Austin and this was the first and last place I stopped. Needed a place to catch up on some work and they provided a lovely outdoor area. I went back every morning of my trip to get my day started. The staff was absolutely phenomenal. The coffee and pastries are delectable. Special huge shout out to Sophia, she is truly one-of-a-kind. Warm smiles and the best energy! Thank you.

One of my all time favorite places. From the staff to their cappuccino's and chocolate chip cookies this is one of the best places to stop and spend some time!

I have been going to Swedish hill for awhile, usually the Westlake one, but this time I thought I’d try the 6th street location. It was an excellent experience. The manager, Oti was brilliant and had great recommendations and took care of all our needs. He made me feel welcome and the staff was super freindly. The food was fresh and the coffee well made. 10/10, will be going there again

Beautiful little pastry shop! The pastries are next level delicious. There’s a line but it moves fast and the staff is very kind. Great chicken and pasta salads for anyone looking for a quick lunch or snack. There’s a decent bit of outdoor seating but only a few seats inside. Plan to enjoy the patio or take to go.
