Crema's Take
“This intimate Clive spot wins hearts with its lightning-quick service and genuinely kind staff, paired with creative specialty lattes like creme brulee that deserve serious attention. Their crepes—apple cinnamon, strawberry cream, Nutella banana—are the real showstopper, arriving gorgeous enough to make you pause before eating, and they've built a loyal following around these handiwork pastries and seasonal coffee selections. With just five tables and a cozy vibe that invites you to linger (or grab and go), it's the kind of place where reasonable prices and actual hospitality make you feel like a regular on your first visit.”

Cozy little shop - friendly staff, QUICK service, and they recommended the apple cinnamon crepe, which was the most stunning breakfast I've had in awhile. I wish I'd asked for the names of the two staff when I'd visited, but a lovely human with blonde pigtails and adorable enamel pins, and another sweet human with short hair. They do a fantastic job. I'll be back!
Not a bad place to sit and get some work done. They only have 5 tables, so get there early to grab a spot. All of the outlets already had stuff plugged into them by the business, felt a little awkward having to unplug something of theirs in order to charge my laptop. At other places I’ve been to, outlets next to customer tables are left open for customers to use. Staff were nice. My cookie butter latte was really good!
First time in, sat down with a creme brulee (sp?) latte and a Nutella banana crepe while I watched a bit of Edward Scissorhands. Food was mouthwatering, coffee was tasty, and the staff were kind. I don't eat at places very much any more but I am glad I made an exception for here.
Great new coffee n breakfast place. Reasonable prices. Great crepes: apple cinnamon n strawberry cream. Crepes would be even better if cooked a bit more to caramelize sugar and add a bit of crispy-ness.
Cute little coffee shop with lovely seasonal coffee collections and mouth watering crepes and cream puffs. They were out of croissants when we went in on a Sunday afternoon. However, we had their Choux au Craquelin which is a crispy cream puff available in multiple flavors like matcha, coffee, vanilla, crème brûlée. I personally loved the crème brûlée one. We also tried their seasonal pumpkin pie lattes and they were awesome. Must try, if you are in the neighborhood!!
