Stopped in briefly, but service was friendly and the gluten-free blueberry snack they had was A1. Additionally, the atmosphere was perfect for the study session I had to get done.

The coffee is excellent. They the cordato if you like strong coffee. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. I come here when ever I’m in town.

I probably went during a slower time, but anyways the vibe was very relaxing and I enjoyed the time I spent there with my coffee. The barista was very chill, and eager to talk about coffee. I value that because sometimes it's hard for me to decide what to get. I ended up getting an almond milk latte with coconut and peppermint, and it turned out really well! It would be better less sweet, but I should have specified that lol. They were almost sold out of the baked goods, from some local bakery. I had a vegan lemon cake which was very good, so not surprised they had only a few things left haha. Definitely would recommend this coffee shop.

If you know my reviews, you know I love coffee and I love customer service. Crema Coffee does both at the highest level. I discovered this place by accident one morning when the coffee house I went to was far too crowded. I brought up Yelp, saw the stellar reviews and decided to give it a try. That first morning I met one of the owners, Aaron, who was friendly and patient with all my coffee questions. Eventually, I tried just a standard cuppa joe. If you truly want to know good coffee from blah you have to drink it black. I was incredibly impressed. Aaron schooled me on the beans which were from Papua New Guinea and the brew was outstanding. I rarely find coffee I haven't tried in one shape or another and this simple little cup blew my mind. Those Papua New beans were so good, I bought some whole ones from Aaron to take home. I'm a writer and reader, so any coffee place I frequent must not only have great java, but be a place I'm comfortable hanging out in for a while. Crema is it. While its outer appearance in a strip mall leaves much to be desired, once inside it goes from plain to better the further back you go. Upfront there are average tables and chairs, but toward the back is a lovely couch and sitting area. The WiFi is strong and ambiance mellow. Perfect place to sip and read. I've been back several times since that first morning, and Crema is always the same - friendly and fantastic. Any time I'm on the northwest side Crema is my go-to coffee place. Try it and you'll see why.

Excellent coffee served by an exceptionally friendly staff. I always take the time to swing by and have a cup when I’m in the area.

Cool spot, not pretentious or bougie, friendly service, local artists work on the walls. The preparation of my drink was thorough and patient. The result was a fantastic Chai latte. Recommend and will be back.

Love this coffee shop! Good service, Better coffee, just what I need to finish my 15hr day. Thank you guys so much!
Great and authentic coffee shop experience with fair prices.Something unique I found about this coffee shop was they they provided a small glass of complementary sparkling water with the coffee. Thats a common occurrence in European coffee shops and was pleasantly surprised to see that here.The quality of the coffee was also top notch. They were using Mexican beans from Chiapas and their coffee immediately brought back memories from that region.Highly recommend coffee shop!

Best latte I've ever had. They took their time and made me the smoothest oat milk latte I've ever had in my entire life. I appreciate good talent. Who would've know the best latte would be in Tucson? A+

Today was my first time trying Crema and I have mixed feelings. When we first walked in, the folks behind the counter greeted us and we approached the counter. But there was a table set up by the entrance that was backlit from the sun coming in and had two people sitting at it. Neither of them said anything, so being unsure of what the booth was for, it felt really weird. Was it part of the coffee shop? Another vendor? No idea. Being the closest to the door, a greeting would go a long way. The baristas were very nice and were kind to an older woman who took a while to order ahead of us. They were also kind during our order. But the place seems very....sterile and doesn't have a normal coffee shop feel. I noticed the baristas measuring the flavors and the shots verrrrryyyyy closely. Like holding them at eye level to ensure they were correct. Not sure if they're in training or if this place is just horribly micromanaged. The other weird thing was the sizes. 12oz or 20oz....but both come with the same 2oz of espresso and one large cube of ice. So you're basically drinking 16oz of nothing but your milk of choice if you get the larger size. For $7, I can get a much stronger 20oz coffee elsewhere. As other reviews have stated, Crema felt very meh to me. In atmosphere and flavor. It's a shame this side of town doesn't have a local vibe coffee shop.

Every single visit has been enjoyable. The customer service, space and drinks/food are all fantastic. I love seeing the attention to detail like a constant clean space and an inviting yet calm presence from the staff. It's nearby for us and so we have been visiting often. My kids love this space.
