Crema's Take

This cozy Minneapolis cafe shines brightest as a gathering spot where hospitality feels genuine and the spiced tea tastes like comfort in a cup—though coffee isn't their strongest suit. The real stars are the house-made touches: exceptional chicken wraps with homemade hot sauce and sambusas that pack serious flavor, making it an ideal spot for lingering conversations with friends or family over food that actually matters.

Oh HECK yeah. This place was great.The sambusa is a little bundle of deliciousness, and the tea...the spiced tea felt like it would cure all ills. The people working were paragons of kindness and generosity. Unfortunately, they said business has been slower lately (thanks to ICE destroying the vibrance and safety of our city - author's note). Support this place, lift it up, enjoy same incredible sambusa and tea! Oh yeah, the malawah is the PERFECT amount of sweet.

Wonderful hospitality, cozy little conversation cafe. The chicken wrap and house-made hotsauce was incredible.

deffo one of the worst cups of coffee I've ever had.. so bad it's almost undrinkable; had to throw it away unfinished, which I hardly ever do. caught several unwelcoming glances whilst there. I guess if you don't belong to a certain demographic group you aren't really welcome here

Food was okay tasting, but they need to add more large tables all over the restaurant. So, big groups of people can go there, and hangout. They also need more TVs with sports in all over the restaurant. So, people can watch something while eating. These are the only improvements that they need to do.
