Crema's Take

Tucked away in North Augusta, this espresso-focused café has cultivated a devoted following for its exceptional brunch and carefully crafted specialty drinks, drawing visitors willing to drive 45 minutes for the experience. The intimate space pairs impeccable coffee with generous portions of crepes and bagels, all served in a disarmingly charming atmosphere that feels like a well-kept secret—complete with rustic wooden tables and outdoor seating that invites you to linger longer than you planned. It's the kind of place where locals and their coworkers enthusiastically recommend it to friends and family, and the consistently high praise reflects both the quality of what's served and the genuine warmth of the whole experience.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Parking available.

So charming an outdoors you'll need to allow time to pause for awe and wonder as you make your way inside. The weather was perfect for a friend and I to enjoy brunch at the rustic wooden table on, what my friend termed, as the "whimsical" side patio. We could only imagine what…
