Crema's Take

Tucked inside El Cerrito Natural Grocery, The Annex is a serene neighborhood gathering spot where earthy vibes and plant-filled interiors create that coveted small-town café feel. Their baked goods are genuinely exceptional—fresh, moist, and worth lingering over—and the engaged staff knows how to make you feel welcomed in this quiet, unhurried space that's perfect for long work sessions or catching up with friends. While the organic-focused menu comes with premium pricing, the whole package—from creative drinks like their green latte to the natural light streaming through bright windows—captures that quality-conscious, wellness-oriented energy that keeps neighbors coming back.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
