The designs were beautiful and the chocolate itself was good quality, but the flavors were so subtle that they all tasted one note. I also walked in expecting an experience, only to be welcomed into a space that felt cold and sterile. The interior had a few stainless steel panels (like a commercial kitchen), and the atmosphere felt a bit stale rather than warm or inviting. I was expecting something more immersive given the branding and presentation on social media.

Yes it's beautiful amazing decor and table setting. It's located near U of A so many students were at the table. No place to sit for actual customers. Students camped out with laptops so all tables were taken. At one point while we are there someone from a different tea place came in took a table with outside drinks and didn't even order anything. Just used it for the WiFi for their laptop. Disappointing they don't regulate for actual customers. Sour taste for sure of this experience.

At Crema, they use one big ice cube that resembles one found in a whiskey on the rocks.

Unfortunately, the service felt a bit cold, no one acknowledged me, and the staff didn't seem very welcoming or engaged. I ordered an iced matcha latte, which came unsweetened. No one mentioned that ahead of time or pointed out where the sweeteners were, so I had to look around for them myself. The matcha had a nice flavor, but the texture was a bit grainy, suggesting it might not be the highest quality. Also, the bathrooms are located all the way in the back, and there isn't enough signage to guide you there easily. Overall, it has a lot of charm and a great location, but the customer experience could definitely be improved.
