Crema's Take

This Colorado Springs institution masterfully blends a beloved sandwich shop with a serious coffee program, earning genuine affection from locals and travelers alike who rave about both the loaded Philly cheesesteaks and carefully crafted espresso drinks. The team moves with practiced efficiency to get you in and out quickly, yet the warmth of their service and the quality of every ingredient—from fresh sandwich fixings to creative specialty lattes—makes this the kind of place worth seeking out whether you're grabbing five minutes before your flight or settling into their mountain-view patio for a proper meal. It's the rare spot that nails casual speed without sacrificing soul.

This was so unexpected! We had just a few minutes before heading to the airport for our trip home and this place did not disappoint. My husband had the Doc Martin and I had the ham and cheese (hold the onions). Both were outstanding. Probably the best game and cheese I’ve had. Husband was very happy with his choice, as well. I liked the whimsy of the art in the bathroom, too.

Great service, even better food. We were visiting the area from out of town and wanted to find a local spot for a quick lunch. This hit the spot. Everything was so fresh, and delicious. Restaurant was clean and employees were friendly

Found this little gem on our visit to Colorado Springs. Friendly staff serving tasty sandwiches that won’t leave you hungry. We arrived just before noon, avoiding a rush of customers that piled in after we sat down.

GET THE PHILLY!!! Absolutely loaded with cheese and the flavor is so good. The service was some of the friendliest I’ve ever encountered. They had a nice,small patio area with a great view of the mountains. The waitress brought our dog a water bowl without us even asking!
