Crema's Take
“Chef Stephanie Izard's diner punches above its weight with craveable comfort food like crispy patty melts and Elvis pancakes paired with creative coffee drinks like the salted maple hojicha latte—but arrive early or book ahead since the small space fills up fast and you don't want to be stuck by the door. It's worth the premium pricing and the modest seating squeeze if you're in the mood for genuinely good breakfast with personality, though the afternoon crowd may test your patience.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Elvis pancakes were amazing. The patty melt was delicious; the pickles were crunchy and the cheese just dripped off the melt. And the pork entree was also spectacular. Also, the fries were crispy and fresh. Overall, the experience, atmosphere and the server were excellent and I…
