Crema's Take

“Arcade Downtown is a lively downtown destination where serious matcha lovers and breakfast enthusiasts collide—regulars rave about their high-grade ceremonial matcha (just ask for extra) and genuinely excellent scrambled eggs that put most brunch spots to shame. The vibe strikes that sweet spot between quick caffeine grab and leisurely sit-down meal, with thoughtfully executed pastries, avocado toast, and milk alternatives that show real care. Fair warning: mornings get busy, but the consistently fresh food and attentive baristas who'll customize your order make the wait worthwhile.”

Tried the strawberry matcha with cold foam. The cold foam was thin but light, the matcha could be stronger-would recommend asking for extra matcha for the 16oz (which the barista added for me and it was better!), the strawberry syrup was yummy! lots of seating, great to study at, cute atmosphere, baristas were friendly, easy to find location.

Get the matcha. Cute downtown coffee shop with fast service, lovely pastries, and vegan options. The matcha is high ceremonial grade, and they offer almond and oat milk, which I appreciate. The brunch menu looked amazing, so I’d definitely come back to try it. Minimal, aesthetic spot — it does get a bit busy, so just keep that in mind.

Ate the avocado toast and it was delicious! Just would have gone a little lighter on the chili oil as it made it super messy to eat. But taste was 10/10. Had a green tea and that was refreshing as well.

While visiting family we stopped in for Sunday breakfast. The food was so fresh and cooked to perfection. Scrambled eggs at restaurants typically are over done and rubbery. These were the best egg I’ve ever had eating out. We shared scones for the table which were full of flavor. Everything at our table was perfect not one complaint. Annie our server was so sweet and helpful. In addition they accommodated our large group of 12 in a very comfortable spot. What a great place!

This is my go-to place for breakfast or lunch. Consistently delicious food and customer service. Nice atmosphere inside and just be prepared to wait in the mornings. I usually order mine through the website and pick it up in person. Their potatoes are made from heaven (drool) and the Cheeseburger is THE BEST tasting burger - and I don't eat a lot of Cheeseburgers I try to limit myself to only 2-3 per year but Gosh Dang it! I think I might have had 3 from here already. Be sure to check for ketchup before you leave if you like it on your potatoes... it doesn't come automatically. Also honorable mention for the Earl Grey Iced Tea magnifico! Respectfully Reviewed
