I absolutely loved the first time I set foot in Crema Coffee House, at 2863 Larimer Street. The ambience was magical, with unique and fun murals painted on the brick walls. My mocha was tasty, and the latte art was stunning. And, someone who enjoys watching people come in and out, this place had a variety of traffic.I went back, today. The inside is still closed to customers, due to the pandemic. But, they were open for business for curbside service. And there is news of them potentially opening back up for indoor service, in the not-too-distant future. Can’t wait!The indoor shots I’m including, here, are from my visit back in 2019.EDITED: I went back today: September 2, 2021 and felt so excited and great to be back at one of my favorite coffee shops in Denver.The birds mural is new to me, since I hadn’t been inside for over a year.
Amazing food and coffee - get there early before the burritos and breakfast sandwiches run out! It’s a popular spot! Worth the wait in line during busy times.
Favorite coffee shop in Denver.-They have a great selection of locally roasted whole bean coffee. You also get a free drip coffee or espresso shot with your purchase.- Espresso shots Ive had here are always really well pulled. theyre never overly bitter and have a rich taste to them.- Food is great and they have a nice selection of vegetarian and vegan options. It is a little pricey but it is much higher quality food then Ive had at any other coffee shop.
Very friendly atmosphere and employees. The coffee was a little burnt… And they need outside patio some update.
Bucket list spot with a nice little patio out back. Tasty coffee.Wish they had vegan options or at least listed all the ingredients of their food. Im dairy free, asked what made the pb&j so special at check out and didnt learn it had goat cheese until it was delivered.Also ordered a french press coffee.. received a mug to serve ourselves from a coffee canister (tasted delicious, and steaming hot still!! Just not quite the same as a fresh french press)The place was pretty busy and the staff was very fast and efficient! Will come visit again just misleading menu experience for me.
It does state we can dine -in on Google but when I arrived they were only serving at the window. I understand the difficulty in being able to allow patrons inside during the pandemic but I thought they should at least update that on their Google page. The staff was quite friendly and explained to me of the Vegan options. I ordered the Veggie sandwich without the provolone cheese. It was exceptional with roasted red peppers, artichoke, sauteed onions and mushrooms and a side salad and was delicious. I did not ask if the bread was Vegan so if you are Vegan I would double check. I would give 5 stars but I did not like the flavor of my coffee. It had a old, bitter, tinge to it that I found similar to my cheaper coffee I brew at home. The friendly staff and the delicious veggie sandwich however made up for my dislike of the flavor of the coffee I own a french-press at home and might be spoiled when it comes to the flavor of my coffee but I would say everything else was exceptional. I would definitely come back for the Veggie sandwich.
This is such a lovely spot for a cup of coffee. This well-deserved location has earned more than five-star ratings. Everything from their workers to their interior designs to their services was outstanding. A place to return to time and again for more and more. I wholeheartedly recommend this coffee shop to everyone.
The BEST coffee shop in town. Often busy but they always nail the espresso no matter how busy. Great food options as well. So nice to have something savory and other than just sweet pastries standard in many shops, although they do those well too. The. Best.
The best croissants! Puffy, flaky, crunchy top. The chocolate chip cookies are also good. Wish I could come here every day.
Fun coffee shop with a good selection of beverages and snacks. Drinks are expertly prepared by the friendly staff. Great space to hang out with a nice ambiance indoors and a very pleasant patio out back -- perfect place to catch up with a friend or on a little reading.
Last time I will be going to dine at crema unfortunately. They allowed a homeless to come in and literally wash all his body parts and spray water over himself at one of the tables. I would highly advise to not sit down at their tables. Pretty grossed out and lost my appetite. Thumbs down crema
The espresso was top notch and they served it on a wooden platter with a small glass of water and a tiny spoon.
Flippin fantastic. Great coffee, great food, great art. Yummm!
Coffee wasnt bad but they put way too many spices in the chai latte. My throat burned after drinking it.
I just moved to Denver and dont know anything. I ordered online and walked half a mile to pick it up. When I got there I realized I forgot my mask even though the mandate is over. There where two people in front of me. When the dude from behind the glass spoke to me like I ruined his whole day because of the mask. He said he would bring out my order but never asked my name or what I got and never returned with my order. I walked half a mile back home to get my mask since he never answered my question can I have my money back. When I got back the line was crazy long. And I waited 20 more minutes to get my stuff. I have no problem wearing a mask but I do have a problem with the way that dude talks to customers. Coffee was actually good.
I’m so impressed! The coffee was Ethiopian but they French-press instead of Drip, so it was super full-bodied, almost a medium roast! And then the sweet potato waffle... wow, so fragrant and delicious. Super high quality ingredients in their food. Made with care.. The vibe is both chic and a little grungy.
This shop was truly satisfying! The coffee and foods were tasty and yummy. Besides, the ambiance was clean, nice, and smell great. Even the waiter that entertained me was very nice, respectful, and kind. Honestly, my morning was splendid when I came here. Thank you so much! I was a satisfied customer who was willing to give you 5-stars. Great service!
Expensive and took a long time. And my drink was only so so.
This place is a perfect neighborhood coffee shop with an awesome outdoor area.
Good coffee, kind staff and service. Also a really good simple quick menu! One of the better grab n go breakfast burrito spots in the area!
100% awesome coffee shop service! I was not expecting this place would melt my heart. Their coffee was served by their lovely staff. I found this incredible place by accident. I am lucky to find this place! I need to come back because its a good one. They deserve great ratings!
Busy Saturday morning here, but that is typical where quality and service meet. Crema is a coffee shop I could linger in for hours. The big open windows in the front of the shop combined with the creative and colorful ceiling make me feel so very content. I visited Crema as a part of my first time trip to Denver. There is local art throughout the shop! I love places that are full of art and color, and this is one of those places. Coffee shops that have Colorful murals, cool art, an eclectic crowd, coffee smells!!
Very tasty breakfast sandwich and salad today. Friendly staff and good coffee. Oh and the juice was sweet, but really well-balanced and a beautiful color. Wife and I were both impressed.
Decent eclectic coffee house with delicious quicheThe guest coffee is often an interesting floral / fruity blend which is a contrast from their normal smooth house blend.The meat quiche was excellent, WiFi is fast, and location interesting.Only downside is lack of power hookups for longer work sprints :)
Great drinks ! Good vibe to chat and enjoy your meal.
I L💗VE THIS PLACE! The coffee, the vibe, THE MURAL!! 💗💗💗
Ive been coming here for years for the coffee, the quiche is good, and they have a really fantastic veggie sandwich!
We really enjoyed our time here and the service was super friendly.
Get the sweet potato waffle. You wont be disappointed.
GREAT! This coffee shop was totally impressive! This place is certainly the best spot where you can have a great taste of coffee and pastries. Also, the staffs around here were really fantastic, and I would like to commend them for making my orders fast. Truly a memorable experience, and Im sure that I will visit this coffee shop again soon. THANKS!
Everytime I visit Crema, its perfect. The coffee is spot on and the food is amazing. No packaged junk unwrapped and placed on a plate. I visited TWO other coffee shops this morning in an effort to try something new. I left both without ordering bc they had no food and the baristas were unfriendly. They both probably have good coffee. But Im greedy, I wanted good coffee, something to eat with it and I would have settled for that but the barista and staff at Crema were happy and friendly and made my morning!
The best independent spot in the game. Crema has been on Larimer longer than most spots, and remains consistently perfect. The coffee is perfect, from a rotating selection of awesome roasters, and dont miss out on their house-made breakfasts, their baked goods, or juices, either! Crema 4 eva!
Amazing coffee and service!Please note that they are taking COVID precautions, and they do not sell masks, so you will need one to enter.
Excellent espresso in the middle of a cool neighborhood across from Federales.
Very friendly people. Good cappuccinos. Good yogurt too.
Meh. Contrary to making best-of lists, the coffee wasnt anything special here. (Also, weirdly, they had no sweeteners other than regular sugar: raw sugar, which is just inconvenient sugar and simple syrup, which is just sugar dissolved in water. What is this, 1921?)
We stopped here because we read they served Devocion coffee, a Brooklyn roaster. The coffee is fantastic. We were greeted by friendly employees who save you a table/seat while you order at the counter. We tried the mushroom egg scramble and the waffle with berries. Both were delicious, though portions are on the small side, particularly the waffle. The small space fills up quickly.
It was a nice experience for me for the first time. Mike was a humble guy that knows what hes doing and gets the job done well. Try their services and you won’t regret it for sure. The quality of service they provided was amazing! I couldnt ask for more! I will never forget to tell all of my friends and co-workers about this place for sure.
The whole day I spend at this place. I can say that they really get my trust. Great service and pricing! The awesome ambiance was a huge help for me to relax. Such a wonderful place to do homework and do the jobs done. Recommended!
Amazing gluten-free sweet potatoe waffles!!! 😊😊😊
The coffee hear was great! Walked in and there was the assortment of business people conducting business other than that it has a very welcoming atmosphere. The cashier that took my order was very polite in suggesting a very delicious coffee. They also had a board with daily specials great place to check out.
I love coffee and have been on the hunt for the best coffee in Denver for a while. Not sure why I havent tried Crema before now, but I can absolutely end my search. And you can, too, because Crema is by far the best coffee in the Denver metro area.Crema is the real deal when it comes to great coffee and their prices are reasonable for coffee shops (I was charged $7 for an 8oz mocha at a different coffee shop downtown. $7! And it wasnt nearly Crema good.)I got a mocha latte and it was the perfect blend of chocolate and coffee. Neither overpowered the other. And the location is great, too, and during the day parking is pretty easy.The baristas were super nice and overall the place has a great vibe. I cant wait until Covid-19 is more in control and they open up their indoor space, because I will definitely become a regular who is frequently chillin inside enjoying the coffee. At this time, however, the interior is closed and you can only order to-go at the door.
Best breakfast sandwich we’ve ever had! They also perfected the croissant. It’s hard to find a coffee shop that has amazing coffee and baked goods! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Denver
My favorite foods and desserts are available there. Their goodness and decency will always be appreciated by me. Thank you a lot!
One of the best coffee spots in the city, and they’ve got a full menu.
On our first morning, we noticed this location and ended up going back every day. We were very happy that we did not book breakfast at the hotel after all!
The coffee and food at Crema have been A+ every single time. I love their vegetarian quiches, and breakfast burritos. Beyond the excellent coffee, Crema’s employees are some of the kindest people I’ve ever encountered. I adopted a rescue puppy with severe social anxiety and I have been trying to socialize her more. While everyone in Rino has been so kind to her, Crema has gone above and beyond. Scout and I go to Crema a few times a week and they always have some bacon waiting for her. Often times they will even personally come out and try and feed it to her. This has really warmed my heart and is testament to how wonderful the staff is at Crema.
Great coffee great service great everything!
Had the Americano black, the coffee is very good as is. Sweet potato waffle is a little pricey but worth trying, full of flavor.
The service is good and the place is quite and peaceful, its nice to have some coffee out there.
Is this the best espresso in Denver? Yes, it is.
Best yums, coffee, and crew in Denver!
I love everything in your coffee shop! Cakes, coffee, and tea. I have been visiting your shop many times, but still, you didnt fail to change my impressions about your excellent services, guys.
Definitely my overall favorite coffee shop. Always has a good texture. I highly recommend Crema.
Amazing iced latte and breakfast burritos!!
This place was cool.. appeared trendy. right now its all order at the window and go. The staff were nice and easy to order from. Especially since I was a first timer. The coffee was wonderful. I also ordered the quiche. It was yum! 😋 but so very tiny and kinda expensive for a tiny slice of pie.I didnt feel super safe on that street corner. It was trashed and throw up on the ground. 🤢 There must be some bars nearby. 🤷🏼♀️Id probably go back tho. Good food and coffee are most important 👌
Love this place. Wish it was in my neighborhood. Cool vibe. Cool and helpful people. Def recommend.
Great coffee and the staff is nice!
Spectacular coffee, although its a little pricey for the tiny cup
Crema is the best coffee house in the World (yes, Ive searched the entire Earth), the greatest staff, and the yummiest coffee breakfast accessories. Once you go here, youll remember it!
Awesome food - especially the quiche.Mostly, Ill always love this place because its where I met the love of my life. Thanks for creating a space conducive to talking to strangers over coffee.
Everyone at our table was quite pleased. I had a brother come into town and asked me to take him back here. The prices are fair for the quality of food. They have so many reviews for a reason.
Good coffee, great atmosphere, and a cool spot! Motorcycles and coffee... awesome. Coffee is really good, and the staff is super friendly!
Nice place to have some coffee the people out there was so friendly and the coffee were too great
Amazing coffee, Philly cheesesteak omelette was soooo good! Great atmosphere.
Theres no question that this coffee shop is well-known for its coffee and pastries that are the best here. Im so grateful that I was able to try it, and it was good, because everything here is wonderful and satisfying.
The staff is very friendly. I wasnt sure what to get and they gave me great menu suggestions. I got some iced espresso. The coffee quality is amazing, and their homemade syrups were flavorful.
So I finally reached my limit with this place and have stopped going after being a customer for 1.5 years. The $8 veggie breakfast burrito has significantly reduced in size over the past two weeks, it’s almost a joke how much it’s shrunk. Another hilarious/annoying thing they do is they ASK for a tip when you are paying. Stop begging for tips/making it awkward as your food/coffee are already way overpriced, it’s pathetic. If people want to tip you they will do it without being asked, that’s how tipping works!
I spend way too much money here, its just too good ! and so conveniently located. their coffee is bomb and their croissants are worth hustling over at 8am for. so many options on the menu, never disappoints!
Love the service and the place is cool, the coffee quality is great.
