Crema's Take

Since the new ownership, this Wilmington spot has transformed into a genuinely welcoming space where parents can actually relax over improving coffee while their kids play freely in a thoughtfully designed, contained area. The staff clearly care about accommodating families with different needs—from allergy-friendly menu updates to helpful party hosting—making it feel less like a typical kid zone and more like a community gathering place. It's the kind of spot where you can settle in for a slow sit, catch up with friends, and trust that both your coffee and your peace of mind are in good hands.

Love all the new changes and updates with the new owners! My child has allergies and the updated menu options work really well. Just saw the new renovations today and it's awesome. The staff are all very nice and helpful, so glad we have a safe space to bring our littles in town, especially when weather means you have to stay inside.

This place is amazing! I cannot recommend it highly enough. The facility is clean and stocked with so many great toys and activities for little ones. The staff is welcoming and kind. The coffee bar is outstanding and the drink choices are creative, interesting, and VERY well made. There is a young woman there named Phoebe who is great with kids and makes a mean latte! I recommend this place without reservation as a great place to take young kids for some great play time. It's even great to go just to get a cup of coffee. Stop by and check them out!

Great place to take the littles. The kid area is nicely contained so you can relax while they play. Coffee has definitely gotten much better under the new ownership.

We had my daughter’s 3rd birthday party here and it was amazing! The kid play area is so well made and kids from 1 year to 10 years old had a blast. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Everyone at the party loved it. I would highly recommend for parties and just to be able to sit and have a coffee while your kids play. You are able to see them pretty much from every angle of the place. It was nice not have to constantly searching for your child. I hope this place does well. We will certainly be returning.

As someone who works closely with children, I’m so impressed with this place since the new owner took over. It’s incredibly clean, welcoming, and full of creative ideas that really benefit kids. The owner is thoughtful, intentional, and truly passionate about what she does. Such a great space for families!
