Crema's Take

This century-old Tallahassee institution has mastered the art of the breakfast sandwich, with reviewers raving about bagel creations that rival anything they've had elsewhere. While the ordering system takes a moment to navigate, the speed and quality of the food—plus the distinctive blue moon latte and other creative drinks—make it worth a visit to this beloved local gem that's somehow survived when so many independent cafes haven't.
