Crema's Take

This charming Los Angeles spot pulls inspiration from Mexico City through the vision of a pastry chef from Loreto, crafting distinctive conchas, creative donuts, and pastries that consistently sell out before closing time. The real magic happens when you pair their unique baked goods with standout coffee creations like their cold brew with carajillo cold foam—a combination that keeps customers coming back and lining up at the door. It's the kind of small business that transforms a quick coffee run into a genuine discovery, blending Latin flavors with specialty coffee in a warm, family-friendly setting that feels like a true gem rather than just another café.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Very cute place nice service ..I tried the LA churro it was delicious! Also tried the coffee.. It was good! Although all other pastries were sold out. I'm glad I got to try the churro. I was told it's better to go on the weekdays to get a variety selection of pastries.

Watch out for Santa Canela, you'll find a line and it's not just hype. Small business filling big demand for quality and flavor. Santa Canela offers a twist on latin flavors and a unique coffee break experience. We moved quickly through the line early on a rainy Saturday morning…

This spot is absolutely adorable! The pastries and coffee are both unique and incredibly delicious. The cold brew with carajillo cold foam is to die for—it’s the reason I had to share this! My new favorite cold brew for sure. A total must-try!

What a true gem we discovered today at Santa Canela bakery! If you find yourself on the 110 freeway heading towards Pasadena, do yourself a favor and make this a pit stop – it's an absolute must-detour. From the moment we stepped in, we were charmed. This "cute little shop"…

This is a small bakery/shop started by a pastry chef from Loreto that’s serving pastries inspired by Mexico City. We got four pastries (Santa Canela concha, orange blossom concha, morita donut, and champurdo long john) and a couple of their speciality drinks. I’ve heard great…
