Crema's Take

This Clintonville gem earns its stellar reputation with consistently excellent espresso-focused drinks and a genuinely warm staff that makes you feel like a regular from day one. The cozy, laptop-friendly atmosphere is perfect for settling in with work or conversation, though fair warning: it gets delightfully crowded during peak hours and table space is snug. Beyond the standout coffee, their gluten-free pastries are a thoughtful touch that shows they care about accommodating everyone who walks through the door.

I haven't really tried the food items here to comment on them. But I have tried most of the drink options and this is my favorite coffee place by my home. Love the convenience of the drive thru window. The staff is very nice. Have enjoyed the occasional cup visiting with friends and staying in.

This cozy little coffee shop in Clintonville has quickly become one of my go-to spots when I need to get a bit of work done or just take a break and recharge. The coffee is consistently solid, with a nice variety of brews and espresso drinks that never disappoint. They also have a small but well-curated selection of pastries that really hit the spot—especially if you catch them when they’re fresh. I’ve tried several and have yet to find one I didn’t enjoy. The service is always friendly and efficient. The staff seems genuinely happy to be there, which adds to the overall vibe of the place. They keep things moving quickly, so even if there’s a bit of a line, you’re never waiting long. Parking is surprisingly easy for Clintonville, which is a huge plus, and once you’re inside, it’s a comfortable space temperature-wise—cool in the summer and warm in the winter. If I had to point out one downside, it would be the seating. It’s not the most spacious layout, and some of the chairs/tables aren’t ideal for longer visits. That said, the fast and reliable WiFi makes up for it. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Friendly staff- stopped in because they are on the Experience Cbus coffee trail- I will be back because of the staff, coffee and atmosphere! They have a similar set up to the big name Seattle company- but that is where the similarities end. The coffee is fresh and delicious, not pretentious and the staff doesn't make you use words that don't mean what they use them for!! The atmosphere is chill and even though it's a massively hot day today or felt cool inside. This is a drive to and meet a friend for coffee location! Really glad i discovered what everyone else already knows!

My first time coming here and I thought it was a great place to do work. When it gets busy, it does get a bit loud and cramped. There's not many tables, nor big tables for groups. There's free WiFi and plenty of parking! Staff was very friendly and I loved their selection of drinks. I got the large Matcha Latte and absolutely loved it ~$4.25. I didn't like the chairs and tables much, just because they got uncomfortable after a bit. There are couches, but I couldn't do work while sitting in one. This place is good to work alone, but not great for a bigger group. I love the natural lighting and the outside patio seating. There's also a food truck out front! I recommend this place for a calm environment, place to work, and good drinks.
