Perfect breakfast spot.We stopped here during our drive down hwy 1 - Pacific Coast Highway, and we are so glad we did.The food was amazing, and our takeout was ready for us to pickup right away.During our visit we saw the patio packed with people, and could tell this is a popular spot with the locals.Next Time I'm ordering a Bacon Cheddar Biscuit to-go, they looked fantastic

Showed up in the morning and they said it would be a 2 1/2 hour wait. I really wanted to go here for my birthday so we decided to wait. Ended up being 3 hours so we went to check and they said they were just waiting on one party to leave. They call up 5 mins later to.say they were "all out of food". Don't know what happened in five minutes to run out of all food but maybe next time tell people you aren't taking any more reservations if you know you aren't going to seat them or you don't have enough food. Wasted my whole day. Don't do the same.

Friendly and attentive service with the beverages - water and coffee refills. I appreciated the social distancing and face covering requirements for the staff and customers. Dining was outdoors. The food was great. I had the huévos rancheros with chorizo and avocados.

Today, September 21st, the maitre'd kicked the two of us out of our table so he could seat a party of three who came after we were already seated. I'll never patronize this place again and you shouldn't either! How rude and unprofessional!

My first time here great food and service!

Food was excellent and the staff is doing an amazing job under surreal conditions.

Food is amazing. Consistent, priced right, plenty to choose from. My kids love it, my visiting family loves it, cant go wrong! My mouth is watering just writing this review.

Went here on a whim after seeing all the folks lined up out front the day before. Glad we did! Excellent menu, service, staff and location. Nicely set up for Coronavirus dining outside. Great coffee. Can't recommend enough if you like quality over quantity, pleasant quiet location, and great coffee.

The setting and ambience were our highlights at Crema. The service was very slow and the food was average at best.

Crema is very popular and the wait was already 2 hours for a party of 2 when we arrived shortly after 11am, so we returned an hour earlier the next day and waited 45 min. Was this place worth the wait? I can't wait 2 hours for any food but 45 minutes wasn't so bad. I loved the award-winning fried chicken 'n' waffles that come with maple syrup and gravy - it was decadent for sure but just what I wanted as a fried chicken afficionado. Paired perfectly with a michelada. My boyfriend was very happy with the huevos rancheros, definitely a spoon and knife affair as you can see it comes smothered in sauce. We'll be back, just earlier than ever!
Always a special place in my heart for brunch and covid is not gonna stop that! I was on the go for this particular visit do opted for something of the sandwich variety but they do have a wide variety of tasty looking dishes that I had to do my best not to pick instead. We picked up the Good Morning Breakfast Sandwich, Turkey Bacon Avocado Eggs Benedict, and a plain waffle for the kids. I loved the sandwich which hit that full lunch in a sandwich vibe but it probably could have used just a tad less cheese. The wife enjoyed the eggs benedict but found the hollandaise sauce to be so-so and of course the waffle filled the kids appetites. The sandwich came with a side of fruit which was a nice little surprise.The only real disappointment was the coffee. I didn't make the order myself but I was told that the coffee here was amazing. I picked up just a black brewed coffee with nothing mixed to put this to the test and was not impressed. The coffee tasted like it was burnt and tasted like something I could grab for a dollar at some other places The exterior was charming and I'll probably give this place a sit down try the next time I find myself in Pacific Grove. Definitely earned a second visit and a second try at another hot beverage.

We found this place through Yelp it looked better than it tasted. The service was good but the food lacked flavor

getting our daily coffee fix and kept returning to Crema. Cute little cafe and full restaurant. This review is only for the cafe, but the food coming out of the restaurant looked delicious and the diners happy.ordered the Fog Breaker - latte with honey and cinnamon. Tasty. The service is friendly and helpful. They are also efficient as the lines can get long first thing in the morning. Heard they will be closing soon, which is is a bummer.

Chicken and waffles Bottomless mimosas Crema is a great brunch spot. Best waffle I've had. Fried boneless chicken thighs with a country sausage gravy and syrup. A little pricey, but the food and the atmosphere is worth it. Also ordered bacon and eggs. Their cafe has great espresso drinks and pastries. Must have at least once a month.

Probably the cutest little brunch spot I've ever seen! This restaurant is located inside this adorable house which makes you feel like you transported to a little cottage when you're inside. Besides the aesthetics, the food is also amazing! The fried chicken was flavorful. The country potatoes were to die for. The portions are a lot more than you think, definitely enough to get you full for most of the day!
