Crema's Take

This Colombian coffee haven pulls its espresso from the owner's own farms, resulting in velvety cappuccinos and lattes that consistently outshine their big-chain competition—regulars have been returning for years specifically for that quality. Beyond the exceptional coffee, the fresh-pressed juices and guava pandebono pastries make this worth the premium prices, and the owner's genuine attention to detail creates a cozy atmosphere that feels personal rather than transactional.

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

I have been going to Cafe Real for over 2 years. The coffee and chai are wonderful, the food is excellent (especially the guava pandebono), and the service is excellent. If you are looking to support a Colombian, family-owned business, this is the place!

I love this place so much! The owner is so friendly and wants to make sure everything is perfect. The food and the coffee are perfection, the service is fabulous, and the atmosphere is cozy with Columbian music playing in the background. I will keep coming back again and again!

The coffee here is amazing and the juices are so fresh. It’s like fresh fruit slushees. I do want to be honest though, the cafe isn’t welcoming to the Spanish community. I feel as though it is more inviting to the American community. The cafe is suppose to be Colombian and they…
