Crema's Take

“Tucked inside a church lobby in Matthews, this intimate espresso bar strikes an impressive balance between specialty craft and genuine hospitality, with baristas like Sarah and Liz who make regulars feel like they're visiting friends rather than ordering coffee. Their signature creative drinks—like the Moonlight with ube and the Buttermint latte—showcase their willingness to experiment beyond traditional fare, though their pour overs and espresso-focused classics are where the real skill shines through. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where you can settle in with your laptop for hours, enjoy fresh pastries, and actually feel the warmth of the people behind the counter.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

My favorite work combo from Platform coffee is a lavender breve iced latte and the lavender vanilla scone that they get from Copain bakery. The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. Plenty of spaces to work or meet with someone.

I can’t say this place is my absolute favorite coffee place, but it’s close by and it’s pretty cute. I like to order their moonlight drink because it has ube. I don’t really taste the ube, but it’s the only drink I seem to like there and it’s still a nice place to study and…

This is a smaller location located inside a church lobby. Plenty of seating to choose from if you want to pop in and work. They only have a few food options as well as pastries. Convinient location and coffee was delicious.
