Crema's Take

This welcoming Alameda spot has built a loyal following around creative specialty drinks that blend coffee, tea, and unexpected flavor combinations—think Ube ice matcha lattes and brown sugar oolong that locals genuinely rave about. The friendly staff and relaxed, laptop-friendly atmosphere make it a natural gathering place for regulars, remote workers, and families alike, with a nostalgic charm that keeps people coming back.

Lovely people, ambiance, location. Friendly, welcoming. My son used to have professional meetings here, always had a good experience. They used to have delicious frozen yogurt for 75 cents a cone, wish that would come back ;)

We order a couple items at work from this small coffee shop. We order an Ube ice matcha late, Purple Everest, and a Ube ice late Vietnamese coffee. All the drinks were really good.

Food here was on the sweet side definitely wasn’t expecting ice cream on top but the Ube sauce although a lot would have preferred it separated so the waffle itself wouldn’t be soggy so quickly. Though I got ti say the drink was bomb 100%recommend viet coffee

This was the only small business food place open before 11am. When I entered, there was a group of people who seemed like regulars. I ordered the ube Belgian waffle and it was delicious. A group of Oakland firefighters came in later.

The woman that always works there is very nice and doesn’t get your order wrong. The last thing I got from there was a brown sugar oolong and I TOTALLY RECOMMEND! It was so good, probably one of the best boba drinks I’ve ever had! This cafe is so calming and has so many items to choose from.
