Crema's Take

“This downtown St. Louis gem combines genuinely excellent espresso work with irresistible local pastries, especially their legendary gooey butter cake that keeps people coming back. The baristas here actually know their craft and will guide you through seasonal specials like their apple fritter latte while remembering regulars by name, making it feel like your neighborhood spot even on a first visit. It's the rare coffee shop where the coffee is taken seriously, the pastries are worth the trip alone, and the staff's warmth makes you want to linger with your laptop or meet a friend.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Two baristas made our day. I ran in for coffee and they recommended the gooey butter cake and it was great! My girlfriend loved it and I looked like a star. Thank you. Coffee was also very good.
