Crema's Take

Nestled in Santa Monica, this independent gem combines artisanal coffee with fresh-baked pastries in a space that feels like a local's living room—the kind of place where regulars chat with baristas by name. They take their coffee seriously, sourcing thoughtfully and pulling shots with precision, while the aroma of butter-laminated croissants and morning bakes creates an irresistible draw that keeps the community coming back.

Loved this hidden gem. Quiet little cafe with great food options and great coffee! Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Friendly staff. Vegan menu :)

Fantastic pastry shop with lots of vegan and non vegan options. They also serve breakfast food (there's a vegan breakfast burrito), but pastries are the highlight. They also do a simple coffee menu with lattes, drip, etc. I've loved everything I've eaten here. Little pricey, but it's fair for the quality of food. Nice ambience, free wifi and indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking only so depending on the time of your visit it can be challenging, but it's worth it.

I've been to this cafe a few different times specifically for the pastries and drinks, and while I haven't tried their brunch menu everything I've gotten there was wonderful so far! There's plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating options, and bigger and smaller tables, which makes it work for parties of varied sizes. The pastries are INCREDIBLY good but do tend to sell fast - the last time I went was around noon and they had run out of almost everything, so if you want pastries plan to get there closer to opening time. I've had the cinnamon twist, guava cheese tart, and cardamom bun, and all were delicious - they'll even heat them up for you if you want! For drinks I've had both the strawberry match latte and the hot chocolate which were just as delicious and ample sizes. I highly recommend this cafe and will ABSOLUTELY be coming again many, many times into the future!

Stopping here was a wonderful end to my weekend in town. The vegan egg and cheese croissant was amazingly flaky and creamy and with the vegan mont blanc latte, they were the perfect start to my morning. I picked up a few vegan croissants to go and all of the flavors were great. I chose the almond and chocolate almond croissant, which I have had before. The ham and cheese croissant and the guava cream cheese croissant were wonderfully flaky and super tasty as an evening snack. The service was greAt and the cafe was cozy and inviting and a perfect spot for a quick breakfast!

Such a wide variety of pastries here, I definitely need to visit again to try more. The flaky cinnamon pastry was definitely the standout for me. Served hot, it wasn’t too sweet and had a nice flakiness to it. The middle of the pastry was hot and chewy; I feel like I could have a dozen of these. The apple crumble muffin was good, though I found myself wishing for more apple and crumble topping. Still, the bits it did have were delicious, and the muffin was moist and a decent size. Staff were friendly and it wasn’t too busy on a weekday morning. I’ll be back to try more for sure.
