They have the best empanadas and carrot cake. Everything was fresh, the cake was moderately sweet and the order arrived well packed. It was my first time ordering from them but now its one of my favorite places. Keep up the good work!

Been enjoying this place a lot lately. I usually get a latte with one of their tasty croissants. Always get nice, friendly service. Looking forward to trying the other items on the menu.

AFTER WORK I WENT THERE TO GET THEIR LARGEST ICECREAM. FOR $7.49 CENTS ITS FILLED TO THE TOP WHEN I GOT HOME THERE WAS ONE SCOOP AND TOLD THEM I WOULD BE BACK OF MONDAY TO GET TWO SCOOPS AT NO CHARGE AND I WOULD NOT BE BACK AFTER THAT. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE A PICTURE WHICH I DID AND THE OTHER ICE CREAM I HAD IN THE FRIDGE WAS FILLED TO THE TOP.. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEIR FAMILY WOULD BE WAITING FOR ME AND I TOLD THEM I DONT CARE IF THREE GENERATIONS WERE WAITING FOR ME. THE DAY BEFORE THAT I DIDNT GET MY COIN CHANGE BUT I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING AND LET IT GO. WATCH OUT FOR THE BOYS THAT WORK THERE.

Staff are so nice, coffee and food are great and they have outdoor seating on a relatively quiet and very beautiful block, which tempts me often as its sometimes not possible to work from home all day.

There was nothing special about the service or the beverage. The beverage wasnt very good; I ordered the Matcha with Oat Milk which I usually enjoy elsewhere, but not here. It was just an ok experience, not good or great. Also, it would be lovely if you reopen for inside dining, as its still cold out, other places are. Hope this addresses your concern.P.S. turn on your messaging.

Very cute cafe. The seitan al pastor empanada, which is vegan, is yummy. You can also get oat milk in your lattes and coffees. Definitely recommend.

Everything from the coffee to toasts to sandwiches are perfect every time. Made to perfection. Açaí bowl is addictive. Family owned and proud— it shows on the plate, in the bowl, and in the coffee. Also— of course, great ice cream! Neighborhood gem!

I just ordered delivery from Crema. Let me tell you, that was the tastiest breakfast Ive had in a long time. The food tasted super fresh, including the generous amounts of fresh Dill sprinkled on top of the salmon and cream cheese toast. I recommend adding eggs to the dish for protein overload. The cold brew coffee was pretty good too. Ill definitely be ordering from here again.

I LOVE Crema. It’s the best spot in the neighborhood & if you live around here you know we all needed a place like this! Me and my girlfriend come here all the time for their BLTs. They’re DELICIOUS. Even if you just need a coffee (I have mine with oat milk) and something sweet, this is your place. The toasts are amazing. The ice cream is so good & if you’re vegan there are options! Crema is for everyone, there’s even an area for kids to play. You can sit for an hour while drinking tea and get some work done. The prices are SO reasonable and affordable. The energy is great & if you’re looking for your spot this is it. You can’t not love it. Thank you guys for being so great!

Incredible spot. If youre in that section of JC, you owe it to yourself to drop in. The avocado toast is inspired in its profile of flavor, and the coffee is better than anything else in the area.

Excellent sat/sun breakfast. Eggs Benedict toast is a must have. Their ice cream is fresh and has variety of flavors worth having. The workers are always nice and accommodating. Portions are pretty good and at a fair price. Breakfast for this area is slim, so come here and you wont be disappointed.

This place is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. The atmosphere is amazing and it’s kid friendly. They have a small area with toys where kids can play. The service is exceptional. I’m always greeted with a smile. The food is great quality! They don’t only serve coffee, they serve sweets, healthy sandwiches, and empanadas.

Loved the Latte, finally a great tasting coffee thats strong enough to wake me up. The ice cream is also delicious, they have vegan and gluten free ice cream/pastry options. Havent tried their lunch options yet but this is a great place to sit with your laptop and get some work done or bring your kids and let them play in the kids corner

I literally live and have my home office right up the block from here! Really awesome mom and pop shop! They serve grass fed ice creams, toast dishes, pastries, and various coffees. I like the variety of ice cream, but have also enjoyed a couple of their toasts. My favorite so far is the salmon toast; however I am yet to try them all.The coffee is not too bad and is better than DD. I am bit more critical as I am a bit of a coffee snob. There is a small seating area inside and you are welcome to eat or drink outside with your dog. They are dog friendly, but you cannot bring them inside for obvious reasons.They are right in the corner of Duncan & Bergen Ave. Parking is a bit tricky but you may get lucky or may be able to double park for a quick pick-up! If you want to support a good local small business, look no further.

Very cute atmosphere. Loove the kids area. We went for ice cream but they were quite simple and bland. We tried the chocolate and the cookie dough. For the price and taste, we are better off buying a carton of ice cream from a store.

Review №48

This particular Caffé bene feels like a funny fusion of the Asian coffeehouse chain Im familiar with and an eclectic Western corner store. The selection of Asian pastries was very limited (maybe only 2 or 3 options) and it was mostly chocolates and fudges and Western pastries and assorted toys.

Review №64

Not just an ice cream shop! Crema serves up great home made food like their gorgeous open faced toasts... with fresh thoughtful ingredients. The Eggs Benedict toast is awesome! Empanadas are Venezuelan style... super flaky with rich fillings. The soups are wonderful too... my fave is the tortilla soup.The grass fed Ice Cream is great with typical and some special flavors. Bonus... Crema also offers a couple of Non Dairy Coconut based options. I like traditional ice cream, but that coconut based dark chocolate has become a favorite... theres a chocolate explosion of flavor in every taste.The space is welcoming with a kids play area containing some great toddler and big kid toys, boardgames plus chalkboard. On the other side is the cafe area with a big storefront window providing natural light. Its a great spot to grab coffee, nice breakfast and borrow wifi to get some work done, meet a friend for a bite or casual weekend brunch.Come support a local resident family run gem, staff is friendly and accomodating.
