    Triangle seat
    Shannan G.

    Cremello Cafe is a delightful place for a beverage and a tasty treat! I had questions that were answered with care and enjoyed a delicious "hot buttered latte" and sampled two toasty breakfast items that absolutely hit the spot! There were so many items that looked AMAZING, it was really hard to choose, but I'd say you really can't go wrong (so far they've been 10 out of 10)! The "cinnamon roll" (more like the Viking Cup from Sluy's bakery in Poulsbo) and the ham and cheese biscuit were to *die* for and were heated perfectly so the cinnamon roll dough was light and flaky and the cream cheese frosting was warm and gooey, while the ham and cheese biscuit was soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside with melty cheese on the ham. (I detest rosemary, which I didn't realize was in the biscuit, but it didn't bother me at all, as it was so full of other delicious herby-cheese flavors!) Sadly, there was a glass pane broken on one side of the triangle seat, so I only had views out the front and opposite side, with a bit of a draft through the pressboard currently covering the hole, but it was still a nice spot to watch the world go by. Other seating throughout the shop also looked nice, and I could see cozying up here for a while and working my way through the pastry case and selection of other coffee and non-coffee drinks to while away the time. Dine-in coffee was served in a heavy mug with a nicely curved shape (16oz max), and the pastries were served on ceramic plates with "fancy" silverware, including a small but sharp butter knife, so as to not be overwhelming on the plate or causing it to awkwardly slide off or be in my way. Thoroughly enjoyed my first trip here and will be sure it's not my last! (Sadly no photos of my coffee or edibles, as I gobbled them down before I thought to snap a picture, but enjoy a photo of the pastry case!) Update: I decided to take a drink to go and decided to try their caramel apple cider (not exactly called that, but close, and sounded even better). Unfortunately it tasted mostly of water. I think it's fair to say something may have gone wrong in the serving of it, as it had previously not been available (he removed the sticker crossing it off the menu once I asked about it), but I would not order it again if this is how it's meant to be.

    Cremello Cafe is a new coffee shop that opened up in the antique district of Tacoma. I have been to this space before when previous coffee shops were here and have always loved it! It's no exception with the current tenant and perhaps I like it even more as it's a small business and not a franchise that used to be here. Pastries and sandwiches are good here and is pretty fresh. Love the coffee and tea drinks here especially. I got the London Fog and really enjoyed it! Love that Earl Grey oriented drink! Definitely a place worth returning back to!

    Very classy and beautiful. Lots of windows for natural sunlight and views to the outside. The staff are amazing and so polite. Ordered a London fog, white mocha and peanut butter and jelly frappe and they brought it right to us and they tasted amazing! Highly recommended.

    We were looking for some coffee shop, and my husband saw this place. He was like let's go here. Why not trying a new fun place than going to Starbucks! We got attracted by outside of the building and the vibe immediately. We was greeted with a great smile and they were having a soft opening. One of the owner I think? Karen. She was very sweet to us and we felt very welcomed to this place. I got a rose coffee and he got americano. We shared a ham and cheese croissant. Karen learned our name and remembered it, made us felt special. Anyways, I know there are not many places that have rose syrup. Lucky for me they do! I was so happy about that since my all time fav coffeeshop took their rose syrup away:( I found this new favorite spot, and if I'm nearby Tacoma I will definitely come by again and again. I have to try lavender coffee next time for sure! My husband got americano, and he rarely compliments coffee and he only care for the caffeine usually, but he complimented the coffee and it was hot and good. The croissant was toasted, it's warm the cheese melted perfectly inside and crispy on the outside. So yes I would say this will be my favorite spot.

    This location has been many coffee shops over the years, some good some bad. It's nice to see that a new eager crew has come in to serve great coffee in an unique space. The day I was there someone was even playing the piano which was lovely. Service was spot on, coffee was great and they have a wonderful selection of baked goods to go along with your drink. Sit back and enjoy the view from the large windows in this historic building!

    The service was exceptional, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The coffee, especially the matcha latte, exceeded my expectations, and the pastries were simply to die for! A perfect blend of great service and delicious treats. Highly recommended :)

    I drive by this place all the time and love how the seating extends to the very corner of the building. It looks beautiful inside, full of natural light, and I was surprised at how much more seating is available than I initially realized. Street parking only, but there were plenty of spaces when I visited on a Wednesday afternoon. I had the caprese sandwich (delicious) and raspberry cornette (I think that was the name? Basically a delicious croissant) and both exceeded my expectations. It's easy for them to get dry and tough but both items were perfect. The menu is pretty large and my friend and I had to share when flipping through - one whole page was dedicated to syrup flavors. Seems like you can get any drink you want haha although I stuck with a regular latte and was very happy with it. Overall, I loved it and would definitely recommend!

    Amazing hot beverages and service! Lovely atmosphere and just the cutest people running the shop!!!! The vibe is immaculate! I am a customer for life

    I really adore Cremello! parisian vibe, the green decor is so lovely, they have cornetto/croissants, their tiramisu is seriously so good and their matcha latte taste authentic to me and I am very picky with my matcha! they serve your drinks in a cup and that's really rare nowadays to find coffee shops like that especially after covid so I really appreciate that. The owners and the staff are very friendly and genuinely want to have a conversation with you. I hope they will stay for a long time in downtown

It always seems like some new discovery awaits for this category here and it's always delicious. Coffee drinks remain amazing, creative and unique especially for the area that doesn't delve into the specifics that this place does. On our latest visit we had some amazing sweets that involved pistachio and once again it doesn't disappoint. So very delicious. Still five stars all of the way and I don't see that changing anytime soon!

I used to visit the Sacramento location, so it was a nice surprise seeing one nearby. My review is mainly for the desserts since I still haven't tried the coffee yet (though I'm sure it's probably great too since they're known for their Yemeni coffee). The menu seems very similar to the Sacramento location, but I'm giving 4 stars because they don't carry the one dessert I've been seriously craving: Turkish delight! The Sacramento location has it and I was definitely hoping to grab some here but I didn't see any on display or on the menu :( The milk cakes were thankfully just as good and super consistent between locations. We ordered the pistachio milk cake and the caramel milk cake (different pricing, depending on flavor probably). Both were incredibly moist, flavorful, and just really delicious. If you've never tried the milk cakes here, I definitely recommend them. They taste high quality, for sure, and a perfect treat for a sweet tooth. I had my husband try one for the first time since he likes caramel, and he immediately said it tasted so fancy he felt like he should be sticking his pinky out while eating it lol. I told him it *is* around $10 a slice, after all. We stopped by on a weekday afternoon and the parking lot was busy and the café itself was packed, so it definitely seems like a popular spot. They also have a points rewards program you can sign up for with just your phone number. I'll definitely be back for sweets again.
