Crema's Take
“This Charlottesville gem in Belmont truly shines for its exceptional house-made pastries and breads, with reviewers raving about standouts like the lemon lavender donuts and sourdough cinnamon rolls that rival what you'd find in dedicated bakeries. The maple lattes and thoughtful coffee work beautifully alongside the stellar breakfast sandwiches, all served in a welcoming space with a lovely patio where the friendly staff and communal energy make it feel like a real neighborhood gathering spot. It's the kind of place where every component—from the sourdough to the espresso drinks—tastes like it was made with genuine care, making it worth a deliberate stop rather than just a convenient caffeine grab.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Truly delicious spot for breakfast/brunch and sandwiches. The donuts looked amazing but we went with the sourdough cinnamon roll - one of the best I have ever had! The #2 breakfast sandwich was incredible - buttery, perfectly grilled homemade english muffin with fluffy eggs and…
Super friendly staff and guests, willing to share a table when it’s crowded and busy. The breads, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches are all exceptional.
One of the best doughnuts I’ve ever had (lemon lavender)! Fluffy, flavorful, and made with care. The coffee was delicious as well. I had the maple latte and highly recommend it. Super cute patio as well. Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu!
Lovely spot in. Belmont. Plenty of seating outside. You order your food at the counter which also had a showcase of delicious patisserie items. Great tasting bread too.
Wonderful late breakfast stop for us on our way to Harrisonburg. Sourdough like this is almost impossible to find. And I say this out of experience. I live in Germany and have been making my own sourdough bread for several years now. This place is worth a visit!
