Crema's Take

This Victorian-goth gem in Garden Grove seamlessly blends an Instagram-worthy atmosphere with genuinely excellent drinks, from meticulously crafted espresso to their creative signature creations like the Hallows Eve Latte and Ghoulberry Pie that taste as good as they look. Beyond coffee, the dual concept space features a beautiful tea room showcasing everything from specialty matcha to loose-leaf selections, all served by baristas and staff who are genuinely knowledgeable and attentive rather than just playing a theme. It's the rare café that nails both the aesthetic and the craft—a spacious, comfortable spot perfect for lingering with friends or settling in solo, where the dark, moody decor and unique drink menu make every visit feel like a discovery.

The only cafe I've been to where they delivered so well on both the theme and the drinks - they aren't just for TikTok! So many interesting drinks that are just as delicious as they are beautifully crafted and presented by the baristas. I have ordered 4 or 5 of their specialty lattes, been a bit skeptical of the interesting flavor/ingredient combinations, but been pleasantly surprised every single time. The service is incredible and the baristas know their stuff. Very cool gothic vibes in the cafe, plenty of seating. Plenty of parking.

very, very interesting off the beaten holiday path- for something extra unusual. Victoria with a bit of goth, really cool shop, terrific baristas, really unique selection, complete expresso LOVE and unusual art while you wait (but not too long!) Interesting stop on my way to an appointment for a nice pick me up for sure. Pices are decent, coffee offerings are decadent, staff is very knowlegable, and really friendly, Kind of hope i am able to get over here more frequently! Very highly recommended.

Cute coffee/tea house. They also have a beautiful tea room. Victorian/Goth look. Kind and friendly staff. I only purchased a latte, but it tasted really good- not a burnt taste like some coffee chains. I will definitely go back.

1. The lattes were well-crafted and delicious! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is spacious! 3. The staff were friendly and timely with our order! Note: There is a key required for a shared restroom in the building! Photo: Lavender Fields Latte and Rococo Matcha Latte

Love this place - the staff is very friendly & attentive, the drinks I had were delightful (Hallows Eve Latte = cozy; Ghoulberry Pie - iced = refreshing); the quiche was toasty & tasty (spinach+mushroom; also great spicy sauce with it); the music, atmosphere, and overall the vibe is cozy, dark, magical deliciousness. I wish this was around my neighborhood (in SFV), I'd be here daily. Thanks so much to everyone at Burnt Umber 🖤☕️
