Crema's Take

“This hybrid bike shop-cafe defies the odds with genuinely excellent breakfast food and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you forget you're sitting in the corner of a cycling store. The staff's warmth is legendary among regulars, and the kitchen consistently impresses with creative specials beyond typical cafe fare. If you're in Grandin Village looking for a place that takes both its coffee and community seriously, this is worth the detour.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Family friendly.
