Crema's Take
“This hybrid cafe and dessert bar in Wicker Park swings for the fences with an impressively broad menu that spans serious breakfast, house-made pastries, and gelato—and the kitchen mostly delivers on ambitious execution. The staff leans genuinely helpful and enthusiastic, though service can lag during rushes, so come expecting a slow sit rather than quick caffeine. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that feels worth revisiting as they dial in their operation, especially if you're after fresh pastries and a full meal alongside your coffee.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

It took 15 minutes to get a smoothie and 10 minutes to get 1 scoop of gelato when the place was almost empty ? The milkshake was also terrible and they put ice cubes in it? A lot of room for improvement!!
Exactly what the neighborhood needed. Keep trying something new, you won't be disappointed.
