Crema's Take

Café Elite in Lakewood is a welcoming neighborhood spot where the baristas genuinely seem happy to see you, with Sarah earning particular praise as an exceptional cappuccino maker who keeps regulars coming back multiple times a week. While their espresso machine had a hiccup when one visitor stopped by, the real draw here is the warm, family-friendly atmosphere and consistent quality—this is the kind of place where you'll actually be greeted with a sincere smile rather than just your order number. It's the perfect spot whether you're settling in for a slow coffee ritual or grabbing something quick to power through your day.

The two barristas working were very friendly. I had drip coffee since their espresso machine was not working. It was ok... I also ordered a bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was microwaved in its plastic package. It was soggy and not palatable. Maybe some of the other food items are better 🤷‍♀️.

So I just had a delivery order from this location, and I had to write a review. Placed an order for a desperately needed coffee to get me through a busy day at work, along with a treat for my kiddo and a hot chocolate. My first dasher said the order was backed up and then dropped the order, the second one also dropped the order and a third dasher finally got to the store to pick it up. I got a confusing message saying the order was picked up, and then the barista called me and told me the previous dasher made up a whole story about speaking with me on the phone and me giving her permission to get donuts holes instead of the selected treat, and then took my order, before cancelling and stealing it. She let me know that they were out of cake pops, and helped me select a frosted sugar cookie that my son was very happy about. She reassured me that she was going to remake my order, and to call the store if it was stolen again. She was incredibly friendly, and went above and beyond, and as a former barista I know how crazy the barista job can be in the days leading up to and following holidays, so it was really appreciated. I need to go in person soon and make sure I leave a big tip because the baristas here are rockstars! The gingerbread latte I got is everything I wanted, and not sickly sweet, still perfectly hot, way better than a certain big brand coffee chain that I’ve been boycotting all year now. This coffee is going to get me through a very busy day in my law firm before I finally get the rest of the week off. 100/10

Usually this is my favorite spot for coffee, today the young lady who made my latte played in my face lol. Nearly $8 for 16 oz of mud. Yes I still drank it. 🙃

I go to this location now at least a couple times a week and am always greeted with a smile and a bright hello and sincere thank you when I leave.
