A lovely spot in Uptown to fulfill all of your coffee needs. Staff is friendly and patient. Pastries are fresh, yummy and diverse (Ube cashew white chocolate scone!) Inside there is a large windows for people-watching or looking at clouds. Dog-friendly. Every pupper I've encountered is friendly or cautious and the owners are respectful of other's boundaries with their pets. Support your local coffee spot!

Overly sweet, bad coffee. Did not taste like fresh roast. Should be zero stars.

Crema Shop isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s a cozy little haven tucked away from the hustle, where every detail whispers “stay awhile.” From the moment I stepped in, the warm aroma of espresso and freshly baked goodies melted all my stress away and made a perfect spot for my meeting today! Great coffee, great atmosphere and the owner too! 😊

Love this place. I love it's quiet and familiar vibe. I definitely appreciate that it's never too loud. Glad I stumbled upon it.

I order coffee beans online. The order came quickly, had cute stickers and a surprise. Their beans are delicious roasted and make a smooth pot of coffee. I highly recommend stocking up!
Timothy Johnson
Very pleasant hole in the wall coffee shop. Staff was very friendly. The city could use dozens more places like this.

A cozy, friendly, corner coffee spot that brightens up the neighborhood. Their breakfast buns and seasonal lattes are incredible. They have a nice little punch card rewards program, and I stop in at least once a week. I can't recommend Crema enough!
Cozy, great aromas; lovely earl grey, friendly and helpful baristas; great selection of non-coffee beverages and snacks, also a wide variety of pastries—sweet and savory, highly recommend the ham and cheese breakfast bun!

Crema is one of my favorite places in Uptown! Cute, cozy vibe, and super friendly staff. Genuinely giddy each time they update their seasonal menu because I always find a new favorite drink to obsess over for a few months. Great selection of pastries and snacks and hands down best matcha in Chicago!

Crema is a lovely treasure located in the tree lined streets of Uptown. The baristas are friendly and knowledgeable. The space is lovingly decorated - twinkling fairy lights and cute seasonal mugs line the walls. These details create a homey invite to stay and catch up with a friend or type away on your laptop or just engage with the neighborhood pups that drop by for a tasty biscuit. Such a perfect addition to the neighborhood!

I like the cozy seating and good vibes…but I have that at home. What I don’t have is professionally brewed coffee. Unfortunately, neither does this place. Cafe con leche & pumpkin spice latte were both disappointing watery duds.

Cute shop, appreciate the LGBT flag out front, but I came in for coffee and got water ? probably should have ordered an Americano instead. They should make it stronger!
