Crema's Take

Tucked between a barber shop and Food City, this family-run cafe punches well above its modest size with an impressively creative breakfast menu that goes beyond the usual suspects—think banana cream waffles, strawberry French toast, and veggie crepes alongside their specialty pho nights. The intimate space moves at its own pace, but the care put into bold, flavorful dishes and responsive service makes the wait worthwhile for locals seeking something genuinely different from their morning coffee.

Edit: please go check out their Phò nights! Absolutely delicious Phò is served here select nights! This place was highly recommended to me by a co-worker and it sure lived up to their word! My husband and I have visited a few times now for breakfast and brunch and have enjoyed every meal! Not many places offer Monté Cristo Sandwiches but this place gets it in point! Their iced and Frappe Coffee drinks are not over sweet but refreshing and delicious! We will be returning soon to try out their waffle after having such delicious French Toast. This place would be great for small group get togethers, maybe a crochet club or card playing. The location has a decent amount of space, restrooms and complimentary Lemon Water for all visitors. Can't wait to retun! Lovely experience, service and food! 🥞🧇🥪🥐

Just discovered this new breakfast joint. Food is great, but a bit too salty for me. I hope the owners will take this feedback well and turn down the salt a notch. The waffle is delicious though. Otherwise, it's great foods and services. I'll definitely return soon.

The food here is amazing, but you’ll need to bring a little patience. It’s a small, family-run spot tucked next to a barber shop and Food City, with a surprisingly huge menu full of breakfast favorites like waffles, Philly cheesesteaks, and chilaquiles. Even though the service was slow because it was packed, the staff was super friendly, and the food was worth the wait.

The food was AMAZING!!!! I had the banana and cream waffles and my husband had the strawberry French toast. It is not your typical base for waffles or French toast which to me is pretty heavy. These were so light and fluffy with a small crunch. Perfect base for the wonderful mix of toppings that paired deliciously. My bananas and cream had the most incredible taste of banana, condensed milk drizzle, had to be a homemade air whip cream. I ate it all! Usually breakfasts like this are heavy and make me feel super full but this breakfast felt light and I will definitely be coming back for more! My new fave spot for breakfast! 🧇

Food was really good. Biscuits and gravy had great flavor and so did the veggie breakfast crepe. Service was awesome as well, had a cold latte come by mistake but they made it right quickly. Definitely coming back.
