Crema's Take

This family-owned Cedar Rapids gem treats every customer like a regular, with owners who genuinely make you feel valued while crafting seasonal coffee specials like their praised brown butter blend and freshly made beignets. The cozy atmosphere, dotted with charming drawings from the owners' kids, pairs perfectly with a rotating menu of creative drinks and serious breakfast offerings—from breakfast burritos to excellent sandwiches—that keep visitors planning their next visit before they've even left.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. The people were very friendly and patient as we looked over the menu. We decided on the breakfast burrito, donuts and two of the seasonal drinks. It all came out quickly and was scrumptious and also affordable! Definitely told my friends about it after my mom and I left ❤️

We love our experience at Lightworks, especially their freshly made beignets and breakfast. Also, the cute drawings from the owner’s kids to me are a plus and very welcoming. We plan to come back to try more food❤️

The owners truly make you feel like an important customer! This place is my go to for a coffee or a breakfast sandwich. I also love the specials they put out coffee wise, brown butter coffee that is the right balance and Banana Latte are great fall flavors!

Fabulous hole-in-the-wall place. Family owned. Visited in November. Back in February, and it's on our to-do list of places to visit again for lunch. The food was perfect. The drinks were spectacular! If you like visiting coffee shops, you have to come here.
