Crema's Take

Nestled in Burbank's quirky vintage shopping district, this espresso-focused cafe excels at crafting excellent specialty drinks and fresh-pressed smoothies in a genuinely charming, hug-of-a-space that feels more like a creative refuge than a typical coffee shop. It's the kind of laptop-friendly spot where you can settle in for hours with a perfectly pulled shot or cold brew, pair it with their reliable pastries and breakfast offerings, and actually want to stay—though patience with the kitchen during peak times is worth building in. The vibe is unmistakably cozy and welcoming, especially if you catch it when service is running smoothly and the crowd hasn't peaked.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

This is such a cute place to get some work done or read a book! I was only visiting LA for a short time but my friend recommended to try this cafe. I’m glad I did, the girl who took my order was very nice and friendly. My drink was finished so quickly and was tasty! :)

Nice relaxing coffee shop. Ordered breakfast and coffee. Order for coffee is called out to pick up at counter. Breakfast orders are delivered to the table. Place was clean but can get crowded during peak hours. Interior was simple and rustic. We enjoyed eating breakfast and…
