Crema's Take

Tucked inside a sprawling bike shop in Saint Paul's Union Depot, this coffee station punches above expectations with genuinely thoughtful espresso drinks—think lavender lattes that actually taste like lavender and cortados pulled by people who clearly know their craft. The owner brings a personal warmth to every order, making it feel less like a quick caffeine grab and more like a genuine conversation, even if you're squeezing in a coffee while browsing floor-to-ceiling bikes. It's an unconventional pairing that somehow works beautifully, serving what regulars call some of the Twin Cities' best coffee in one of the city's most unexpected spots.

This has been my favorite spot to stop for coffee the past several months. The owners are very kind and knowledgeable and always provide the best customer service! Oh and their cute dogs Merv and Gracie are an added bonus!

Was offered the barista’s experimental chai with honey - LOVED it!! The spiciness took a minute to kick in 😍 (Ran into you again in the book store! So sorry for not asking for your name!)

Good coffee in a shop that is 99% bike shop. Floor to ceiling bikes, smaller area for coffee and treats. My Cortado was good, and I’ve found that shops that have cortados usually/most often know how to pull a good espresso shot. The shop is inside Union Station, not visible…
