Crema's Take
“This organic bakery punches way above its humble, kitchen-like appearance with creative spiced coffee drinks and inventive vegan options like their standout peanut butter cups. The breakfast game is serious here—think perfectly executed eggs benedicts with unexpected twists like pesto and Okinawan flavors, all built from aggressively fresh ingredients. It's a genuine local gathering spot where you'll find locals lingering over coffee and the vibe is genuinely welcoming, making it worth seeking out even if you're just passing through Hilo.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

A little bit off the beaten path, but an absolutely spectacular place, both for the location and for the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff. The French toast was perfect, and the portion was generous enough for two people to share. The coffee was also very good,…

Had The Boss breakfast today and it was all of that! Organic eggs, your choice of bread/toast, your choice of meat (I picked bacon and it was a nice thick and meaty bacon well cooked as I like it.). Home fries are amazing! Made with peeled potatoes, onion, tomato, and mild…
Great bakery and food stop. It doesn't look like an official eatery, but a local kitchen that has a few tables and chairs. The place was inviting and the bakery goods were delicious. We bought a few breads and had one of them sliced to eat with our breakfast/brunch. The drinks…
