Crema's Take

This Mechanicsburg gem strikes a perfect balance between cozy neighborhood café and destination brunch spot, where the thoughtfully crafted menu—think shrimp and grits and sourdough French toast—matches its inviting fall-inspired aesthetic and genuinely warm service. Whether you're lingering over traditional coffee drinks with friends or bringing the whole family for their full breakfast spread, the savory-leaning kitchen and attentive staff make every visit feel like a treat worth savoring.

This is a cute little place. But I feel that the price for their Sunday. Brunch is a little too high for what you can get, and the other options that they offer are not within your simple regular option for people, so if you're not paying attention. And you get there, you're gonna pay 24.99 for their brunch breakfast. If you're over the age of I believe 10 and 12.99 for Children. You can order specialty coffees or some of their baked goods at their counter. If you don't want to spend that much for breakfast. It's an adorable little place, though. The staff is friendly and kind and it's a cute little place. But if you're on a tighter budget, or you have a large group.I would not suggest going here on a sunday for their brunch.

Emily our server was incredibly sweet & kind. Checked in multiple times and made sure we were good. The food is amazing; really goes with the name of the restaurant - savory. The cafe is family oriented and homey/comfortable.

We were hopeful about this place, it looked like fall from the outside and we hoped it would be a fun place to visit. Very cute aesthetic, fun decorations, friendly staff. Carissa was our server, she was very friendly. We were set up with water right away, she explained that once we were done we get up and got to the cashier to check out, that was super appreciative because otherwise we may have sat there waiting for a check when they don't do that here. She checked up on us. She was super great. The food was good looking, but very bland and not very seasoned. I got the chicken salad sandwich on sourdough bread and upgraded to French fires. I assumed since they sell their chicken salad in tubs by the gallon it would be a big hit. It's great starter base, but I would have liked to see more in it, seasonings and vegetables. But I will note that the chicken salad is very basic, so if you don't like a ton of add ins or seasoning this might be a great option for you. The sourdough bread was great though. I wish the sandwich had more lettuce. I also would have liked to have some onion slices, but that's a preference. It was a nice touch to see parsley on the French fries but it didn't really add anything to flavour. Both needed salt and pepper. We also got the caprese salad sandwich which was very pretty, very messy, which isn't a bad thing, but the ratios of the flavours felt off. Though the pesto was delicious. We also got a pumpkin roll for dessert, which reminded me of store bought, not terrible. The thing I regret was doing the coffee bar. I thought it was a great idea at first, get unlimited tea and coffee that you could get yourself that way you didn't have to flag down a server for a refill. It was great in theory, except the station wasn't well maintained so two of the coffee canisters were empty. And they didn't have a decaff out just three pots of coffee. The hot water spigot for tea is attached to the coffee machine and when they began brewing coffee, it did not dispense just hot water, so it was giving hot water with bits of coffee, so if you want tea, you need to wait until it was finished brewing a pot of coffee. They didn't have any dairy free creamers out, but do have almond here if you ask, if that is an issue for anyone. I had mentioned to one of the other passing servers who had checked in on us that there was only one pitcher of coffee left when I got a coffee and a tea for us and near when we were leaving we saw them starting to restock the tea and coffee station. I would have preferred to spend our money on a custom coffee or drink and paid a little bit more. Flagging down a server wasn't an issue because I would have been able to get a refill during our meal with how often Carrisa checked in with us. I think the coffee station is a great idea, but since they didnt seem to have someone stationed to maintain that, we saw it fall short, now granted we came during lunch rush and all of the serving staff were busy. To me this is a management issue rather than a server issue because all of the servers were buzzing around during the lunch rush. It's a cute place and I really wanted to like it but the food felt underwhelming. Carissa was great, service was great, they work hard there. Our meal came to $64 with tip.

Cozy little place! My husband and I ate here two times. Food was amazing! The shrimp and grits were amazingly delicious as were the sourdough French toast!! The basic breakfast of eggs and sausage were just that, nothing special, good but definitely be adventurous and try something different. I believe that’s where this place shines! Unless you have kids or crave it then those basic breakfast are spot on. Like today I wanted French toast with my basic breakfast. For you salmon lovers, the salmon breakfast is for you! There is NO skimping on the smoked salmon! The hashbrown casserole compliments these meals, very yummy! My husband enjoyed his meat skillet he had. The specialty coffees are dangerously good so be careful!! The staff were super kind and attentive! KeKE and Clarissa are amazing waitresses. The little shop is nice too! I would highly recommend this place. Alittle bit of the regular breakfast favorites and a little bit of adventurous new items.

Sweeter Experience than Hershey Park I can’t recommend this café enough. The menu strikes the perfect balance between exciting new options and comforting classics, it actually took me a few minutes to decide what to order. I went with the breakfast sandwich, which was great overall, though I wasn’t a big fan of how the eggs were cooked (definitely my fault for not asking). They were cooked well, it was more the style. Very moist causing the bread to become soggy. The hash browns were crispy and flavorful, and the pancakes were a highlight for me, almost like a donut, though possibly too sweet for some tastes. I also tried the iced crème brûlée coffee, which was smooth, rich, and very sweet. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating. They truly deserved their tip and honestly made me want to return to Hershey just to visit again. The café itself has a cozy yet modern atmosphere, complete with couches in the waiting area.. a thoughtful touch you don’t see often. Overall, this was a wonderful stop and easily one of my favorite finds in Hershey. I’ll absolutely be back next time I’m in town.
