This place is a disaster. You’re better off going to national chain across the street to Starbucks or Peet’s.
I waited for 30+ minutes for my drink and food and they don’t even know what a proper cortado is.

Used to really like this place...their iced lattes are just way too milky and watery no matter how many more espresso shots you add. Great batistas, environment and set up but the iced coffees just don't hit home any more :(

My regular place for coffee bean closed due to new year holiday, I came across this one nearby with good ranking. I was deeply disappointed at their quality of whole beans as well as the coffee. This is an office coffee level shop, similar to holidays inn breakfast coffee.

Great vibes, very friendly staff, and the place is always clean which i appreciate. The only thing is my espresso gets burnt often. And their oat milk is absolutely terrible. I only come here for the sandwiches and pastries now

The coffee I ordered was absolutely terrible. It tasted like burnt charcoal. The barista just dumped the milk on the super burnt espresso.

Great place to enjoy good coffee, sandwiches or salad. Lots of indoor seating and a bathroom. Some outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Chill atmosphere where you can get work done or have a serious or general conversation. No blaring music which is a big plus. I left one spot like that where it was difficult to talk.
Parking: Parking lot is in the back of the shop shared with other businesses. Limited parking on the street out front.

Unfortunately, their coffee went downhill so much over the years. All recent Americano I got here are watery like buttered water. I hope the owner read this and improve its coffee, the essence of the offering.

Something is going on. This place used to make very good coffee, but lately, the quality has been going quickly downhill. Maybe it's the recent employee turnover, but coffee is tasting less creamy, more burnt, and bitter in a bad way. Flavored lattes are getting like one pump of flavor. The oatmilk was chunky, and the chocolate drinks tasted spoiled. I brought a few friends and later a few coworkers in, and we've had to go remind them to make our sandwich orders. One time, we waited 20 minutes before we realized they completely forgot us. This happened not once but 3 different times/visits. I get people are new, but I don't know if I want to wait through their growing pains. Fix the expediting process, please, and have a few taste testing barista workshops because I really liked this place. I feel kinda dumb being like-this place is great! Just to have everyone in my party make a disgusted face and judging my taste. I don't even care if they're friendlier. You could whip my drink across the counter at my face as long as my coffee tastes as good as the $$ price tags suggest it should. Or, if it's gonna be sludge, make it a 5 dollar drink.

Crema is a great independent coffee house. Give the fresh made breakfast burritos, a taste. You won't be disappointed!

Terrible latte, and tasteless. I can tell they use very low quality coffee beans. Wasted my money and tossed it in the trash after the first sip. Life is too short to drink a low quality coffee. This was my 2nd try at this location and will be last.
I had a hot single shot latte ($5.25) and it wasn't bitter/burnt and they even know how to do upside down, perfect! They even serve lattes in real mugs (not paper cups, that's a plus).
My husband liked his berry iced limonade and pecan tart (not too sweet even for my taste). Plenty of sitting inside, staff is nice. Free 2hr street parking. We would return.

Parking spaces behind the building is very convenient! Coffee and pastries are great but matcha latte is too light and too sweet( not be asked for with sugar or not when ordering).
