Crema's Take

This Isla Vista gem wins hearts by combining genuinely crafted food—think fresh tuna sandwiches and charred stir-fries—with the kind of unhurried, welcoming atmosphere that makes it perfect for lingering over lunch or sheltering from unexpected storms. The staff's warmth and commitment to quality ingredients (you can taste the difference in their unprocessed turkey) turns what could be an ordinary café stop into a memorable meal that keeps locals coming back.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.
