Crema's Take

Flava Coffee & Cafe is a beautifully curated space that celebrates local artists and community, with a modern-yet-creative aesthetic that keeps regulars coming back year after year. Their espresso-forward menu shines with signature creative drinks and quality matcha tea, while the chicken gouda sandwich and thoughtfully prepared pastries make it easy to linger in those big, welcoming windows. The comfortable seating and genuinely warm staff create the kind of cozy atmosphere that works equally well for a solo work session or catching up with friends over an exceptional cup of coffee.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Love Flava!! One of my go-tos for the last 2 years (don’t know why it took me so long to leave a review…). Decor is beautiful - modern yet creative - and showcases local artists. Very clean. Great music that is not blasting. Perfect place for collaboration or focus work. The…

Always love supporting local, BIPOC businesses. If I lived in the area, this would be totally my go to coffee shop. Coffee was great. I just had a pastry but looks like there’s a food menu too. Lots of seating available when I went, although early on a weekday. Parking is in the…
