Crema's Take

This beloved Durham spot excels at building community over custom breakfast sandwiches and inventive donut flavors, with a particularly generous perk of free donuts with afternoon latte purchases. The spacious, shaded seating area and friendly staff create an inviting refuge for both serious work sessions and casual hangouts, though the noise level and seasonal seating constraints can be a trade-off during busy hours. Their homemade touches—from fresh jam to quality coffee—justify the loyalty, even if opinions on the overall execution are decidedly split.

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

The build your own bagel i got was really good. The eggs bacon and avocado were great and the vegetables tasted very fresh. I also had a very good brownie. The bacon donut was okay. The service was nice also. They also have free water.

Did a "build your own breakfast sandwich" with a biscuit, overeasy egg, homemade jam, tomato, avocado, white cheddar, with a side of chicken sausage I put on the sandwhich. Oh my gosh I think it was the best breakfast sandwhich I've ever had. The sausage juicy and tasty, biscuit…

I really like the food. The staff were friendly and drinks were amazing. Wish there was more inside seating during the winter as it gets pretty busy and there’s not too many places to sit. Also wish they had a bigger menu as I loved the food and I would love to have more options.
