Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar

Short version: Quite disappointed about Crema, they market themselves as premium, nothing was premium about them.

Longer version:

⏰ We came at 11:10AM on a Saturday morning, after 5 minutes in line, we placed our order. The drinks came in 10 minutes later but it took more than 30 minutes to get the food. Way too long.

☕️ I took an ice cappuccino. It did not taste good. It was an over roasted type that tastes burnt coffee. How about serving Wells beans instead? It’s a local brand and is premium quality for sure!

🥪I ordered the breakfast sandwich, while it was not bad, it was not good either. It was flavorless.

☕️ our order was “for here”, why was my cappuccino served in a plastic cup? Not only I don’t want to add to our plastic problem but drinking in plastic cup is definitely not “premium”. If you want a glass of water, you’ll also have to use a one-use plastic glass.

💵 We paid $56 for 2 drinks and 2 food items.

I do not recommend this place.

I stopped today for a coffee break while strolling with my kids. This cafe was big and inviting. Both the service and the food we had was good. I ordered a one shot latte which was perfectly done and my dad had black coffee which he also said it was pretty good. I also ordered a coffee cake, a chocolate croissant and a chocolate chip cookies to share. I was told that the coffee cake was delicious (Even tho I wasn’t able to try it) since my little boy and my dad ate it in a blink lol. The chocolate croissant I was able to try and it was really yummy. Same for the chocolate chip cookie. I will be definitely coming back if I’m ever in the area.

If I could up the stars on Service and Food, I would. Really a great overall experience. My first time there, we were greeted by a friendly staff dedicated to great genuine service and quality food. (The turkey scramble was very yummy and packed a lot of flavor). The manager on duty was on top of everything and provided support as the staff needed it while checking on every table. Special kudos to Daniela (I hope I remembered her name correctly). Friendly and joyous is an understatement when describing her. She is the reason why I am writing this review and providing the deserved 5 stars. Because SHE ASKED for it. I work in the service industry myself, and not only do I embody and expect from my staff the same service that we received today, asking for a review in Google is a must and when the business gets it, it is invaluable. Great job Crema 👏, your people are ensuring you look good.

I love Crema...My fav is the one on Davie, FL. I always order V8, Salmon salad and, croissant with almond to share. Two open sandwich breakfast is so good too. Omar is always nice, friendly, he knows how to deal Customer Services. ❤️❤️❤️

What a great place, food was delicious and the service was top notch.
Jairo was very friendly and helpful during our visit. Highly recommend going here for food and the illy coffee.

Soy hot chocolate was amazing! Service was kind and lovely. We went back a second time and the cocoa was still the best I have ever had. Soy as an alternative is getting harder to find, some of us cannot tolerate oat or almond, THANK YOU for keeping this option!! The butter croissant was delicious and cinnamon scone, absolutely delicious, perfect textures.. also the best ever! Espresso this morning was perfect, dense with a dark rich crema dark chocolate and earthy notes. Atmosphere has a great vibe, everyone is welcoming and makes you feel at home. So glad we came back, will definitely visit again when we are in town! Wish you all were closer to where we live!

Good coffee and scones. Great costumer service. Love the venue. See you again soon!!

Good fresh pressed juice. Friendly staff.

BUT $1.50 extra for non dairy milk…it’s just not fair! :/

Their loyalty system is also not very advantageous you have to spend $100 to get a free cup of coffee. $1/pt and signing up for their mailing list of advertisements is only 1 point! I’ll skip that one!

As a Ft Lauderdale resident, I have always enjoyed getting breakfast at Java jam. Recently, the wait for Java jam was too long so I made my way to Crema. Crema exceeded expectations and did not disappoint. Very clean, hip , employees were friendly, food was tasty, most importantly delicious coffee. Would highly recommend !
