Cute little spot to do work or meet for coffee with friends. I like this place because it has a lot of space to do work. And the food is pretty good as well. They have a variety of pastries and drinks, including the red velvet latte which was delicious! I also got the chipotle chicken panini and it was pretty good. I’ll probably be back to try their bahn mi since they were out of them when I visited.

This is a nice cozy place to sit and work for a few hours. They serve nice lattes!

It’s simply wowwwwwwwww. Love it. Definitely try the lavender latte and the pistachio bliss (I skipped the white chocolate in it though). 😍😍

Straight forward spot. Nice place to hang out if you're in the area.

A nice change of pace. It's got a more welcoming sit-down and chat type vibe compared to Starbucks (which no longer has sit-down available) or Pete's just a hundred yards or so down the Alameda. I won't knock off a star for this, but I will say, with Greenlee's bakery and Café Rosalena's right next door, the sweets and breakfast burrito are something to avoid, but that's almost an unfair comparison since those two places are top tier in their craft. Shout-out to the red velvet white chocolate mocha there. Everything I've had has been really good each time.

Came during the week during lunch. Fairly busy with ample spaxe to park in the back. Great for seating outside as well. Ordered the chai tea latte and it was fantastic. Service was quick and great atmosphere.

This coffee place along the posh section of the Alameda near the Rose Garden is a mainstay of the area. It is a lively place with plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor, and has a great selection of coffees, pastries and sandwiches. It has an antique feel to it juxtaposed with various edgy artwork. The seating by the bay windows is excellent for relaxing and sipping a cup of coffee while people-watching through the windows as this is a very busy area. It can be fun watching the busy baristas behind the counters very efficiently handling the many eager customers, calmly and pleasantly. This place is definitely something to keep on your list as an option for hanging with friends, or just relaxing and enjoying a nice coffee.

Ordered triple Caramel Mocha and triple Raspberry White Mocha. Unfortunately both were served lukewarm, handed to us over the 0counter. Sunday mid morning, not crowded, should have been way hotter.

Fave coffee shop in the neighborhood. Indoor and outdoor spaces are great, staff is friendly, and coffee is excellent.

Cute place, but the americano tasted like straight water and I ended up just buying another coffee elsewhere.

I have been here multiple times as I live in the area. Each visit I encounter poor customer service. The Asian gal at the register is consistently rude. As much as I'd like to support small businesses I'll pass on Crema going forward.

I've been visiting this place for a few years now. I love their red velvet latte. Really like the cafe vibes as well. Wish they close later. Pre pandemic - this was our go to coffee place in the evenings. 3 PM is way too early and our frequency of visiting has majorly reduced because of that.

Nice neighborhood spot, but the tea-based drinks are fairly weak and taste mostly of milk.

The coffee and bagel were fine. The girl working the cashier looked like she didn't want to be there. No problem, I understand working retail myself. Just that extra level that gets a 5 star rating in my book.

Créma Café has been my fav for years. It’s a family owned and operated independent coffee roaster and cafe. While in town today I stopped by for a delicious cafe macchiato and a veggie breakfast sandwich! Thank you, June, family, and Ruby for making my day special! ☕️💗🌟

Very poor customer service. Rude staff who make you feel like you are inconveniencing them. I felt uncomfortable the whole time. Coffee ok - food not great but could have forgiven that for some basic politeness. No one should be made to feel unwelcome in a coffee shop. Will try one of the other cafes next door when I return.
