Crema's Take
“This queer-owned bakery punches way above its weight with showstopping seasonal cakes and consistently excellent pastries—the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake and Ube cake are worth planning a visit around. The coffee and drinks are secondary to the real draw here: a rotating selection of impeccably executed slices and cupcakes that regulars keep coming back for special occasions. The staff is genuinely warm and the vibe is as welcoming as the food is delicious.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →A great queer bakery that serves drinks. The staff were super friendly and free samples were handed out as well! Located in a cute neighborhood, it's a great place to stop in and grab a drink and food while talking to friends!
