Crema's Take

Tucked away like a charming house, this locally owned spot excels at creating the peaceful, music-free refuge coffee lovers crave, with impeccably pulled espresso drinks like their signature Texado and French-style pastries that taste like they're made with real care. The kitchen matches the coffee's quality, turning simple, fresh ingredients into standouts like their croque madame, while the backyard patio and unhurried vibe make it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like visiting a friend's home.

I'm always looking for cozy or relaxing coffee shops without loud music or crazy foot traffic. This was it. It sort of looks like a house and very inviting. There's parking in the back too! We sat inside for a few before moving to the backyard to eat. The area was clean with the exception of the tables needing to be wiped off. The atmosphere was fantastic. I never felt so relaxed at a coffee shop. The iced mocha was probably the best I ever had. It wasn't too bitter or too sweet. It was very balanced. My husband had the Texado and it came with a cute truffle. The avocado toast was delicious and I added an egg. I wasn't too hungry but it was a perfect portion. My husband had the nutella crepes and they were amazing. Absolute comfort food. There were plenty of kids playing in the yard because it was a beautiful day, so if you're looking for something kid friendly this might be a good spot. People inside were on their computers and it was reasonably quiet I think. I'm definitely adding this to my go back list.

This locally owned coffee shop and bistro is an absolute gem. We tried the Texado (a twist on a Spanish Cortado). The espresso shots were pulled perfectly... rich, smooth, and complimented the cold brew. You can tell the folks at Common care about quality. The sandwiches are just as impressive. We had the Cubano and the Croque Madame... chef's kiss! The staff is warm and welcoming. We felt appreciated the moment we walk in. I was grateful for the care they took in managing my cinnamon allergy. If you’re looking for amazing coffee, delicious food, and a spot that feels like part of the community, this is it. Highly recommend... cheers!

This was a great find. Really fun place for breakfast or a light lunch. The food is fresh and delicious - seems to have very simple fresh ingredients and they do not overcrowd the tastes with too many - very appreciated. The areas were open and clean, and the wait staff is very friendly and always busy either cleaning or bringing food they really looked out for the customer. The areas with the animals are a cool touch and it’s nice to see the chickens enjoying an easy day. The bathrooms are clean. There are two separate private bathrooms. However, I did not see a baby changing station. So easier to have an outside table with a baby. The regular black coffee was bitter. Maybe go with an espresso option or a light tea. Overall, really love the place. It’s such a good fine and such a nice venue for a relaxing, warning and delicious change of pace.

The coffee was really good and the food was just as great. I tried the croque madame and absolutely loved it. Their pastries are super French-style and so good. My favorite part was the patio!! they have chickens, so you know the eggs are fresh, and I even got to meet their super cute cat. Such a unique, cozy vibe. I’d definitely come back just for the atmosphere alone.

From the moment you walk in, you can feel the love, care, and harmony behind this place. The cleanliness, the quality of the food, and the way everything is prepared truly show that this is a business built with heart. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful — very farm-inspired and warm, with a lovely space for chickens that instantly catches the attention of children. You can see how happy and engaged they are, which makes the experience even more special. The flavors are incredible, the environment is peaceful and joyful, and the energy of the place is something you can truly feel. This has officially become my favorite breakfast spot in the city, and every time I visit, I’ll definitely be back here. Highly, highly recommended!
