Crema's Take
“This Laramie gem earns its reputation as a destination coffee shop through meticulously crafted espresso drinks—regulars rave about cappuccinos that rival those found around the world—paired with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere where skilled baristas like Molly clearly take pride in their work. Beyond the excellent coffee, their homemade pastries and hand-knotted bagels transform a coffee run into a proper sit-down experience, whether you're settling in for an afternoon or stopping by during a road trip. It's the kind of place that feels both comfortable and elevated, where locals gather because they know they'll get thoughtful coffee and genuine hospitality.”

Probably our most favorite place to get coffee in Laramie. Friendly staff and cool atmosphere. Very inviting and comfortable. ☕️
This coffee shop is a cut above the rest. Coffee is great and the food is genuinely homemade, piping hot, super flavorful. Very comforting. Best place I've tried in Laramie!
First time in any Coal Creek location, I browsed the menu beforehand and decided I wanted to try one of their breakfast bagel sandwiches. Their website stated the bagels are hand-made, hand-knotted in-house and oh my goodness was it delicious! It was chewy and crispy and all things delectable. I will definitely be back for the tasty sandwich and the calming atmosphere.
We stopped in during a road trip. The coffee was fantastic, and the shop has friendly staff. The flag on the front was a welcome respite as well in a region where you still find slurs written on all the bathroom walls.
This is the best cappuccino I've ever had. Molly did I really good job making my cappuccino, you can tell she's passionate on her craft. I've traveled the world and I've had cappuccinos just about everywhere I've visited and this one has been the best so far.
