I have a meeting in the neighborhood two days a week, and usually stop in for a cup of coffee. The staff is always super friendly and accommodating and provides excellent service. This occasion, I had a half hour break between meetings and thought I'd grab some lunch. They happen to have a brie and turkey Panini. They called my name. Instead of coffee, this time I got a chai latte. And because I had some time... I settled back to enjoy it It was a lovely, quiet little coffee shop. There are a couple of larger tables and some two-tops and a bar with seating. My food and drink were probably delivered and I got to spend 20 minutes or so enjoying the deliciousness before I had to get back to the grind. Highly recommended! Do note that all of their food is delivered at start of day, and when they're out, they're out. read more

Crema is a really cute bakery with tons of great drinks and food! I particularly enjoyed their egg and cheese turnover and chai latte. The store can get pretty busy, but I am usually able to get a table. The workers have always been really friendly and have recommended their favorite items to me! read more

Food: At the time when I was there' there was only a cookie and some baked goods that seemed to have been there the day. They appeared dry and so I passed. Menu wise: they have a macchiato on the menu. So I asked for that. The person working was like "that's a Starbucks" drink. I responded with it's on the menu... they asked if I wanted it iced or warm. When they called me over to get the drink it was in the tiniest paper cup. I'm talking the cups you use in the bathroom to swish water. The drink was warm but I had asked for ice... it was also $5+ Ambiance: the staff didn't seem to want to work and I felt more like "ughh another customer." I had even said I'd never been there before. I wouldn't recommend based on attitude, price and the unfriendliness. read more

Good vibes and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Had a gf animal cracker macaroni (chef's kiss) and a lavender lemonade. Lots of options for coffee and baked goods. read more

I was walking around the neighborhood and stopped into Crema for a quick drink. I was so pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is welcoming and it was pretty busy in the afternoon. Service was quick and friendly :) They have a wide selection of baked goods and drinks. I decided to get the lavender lemonade and a chocolate chunk cookie. they were both amazing! The lemonade had the perfect amount of lavender. Sometimes i feel like lavender drinks are overpowering, but i'd definitely get this one again. And the cookie was to die for! will be back. they have ample seating both indoors and outdoors, making it a perfect spot to hangout and grab a quick bite. read more

I planned a work meeting on a Friday midday. I was shocked to see every single table at Crema was taken! These guys are busy. We ordered at the counter and managed to grab a table when someone was leaving. The cafe has got a great selection of specialty coffee, other drinks, as well as a huge amount of both pastries and prepared foods. Everything was tasty. I liked the for-here mug. Staff was welcoming and efficient. The line ebbed and flowed so the wait was never too long. The shop vibe is lively with people chatting and/or working on laptops. Free wifi. Parking in the area is challenging so plan to circle a few times and walk a few blocks. read more

Had a macha latte that was very good, not too sweet. Friend had a cappucino. Both came with the palm leaf style coffee art. Friend purchased a loaf of bread to take home and ate the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich for a late lunch. Their savory food is definitely a strong point, she said it was tasty and filling. 4 stars because the counter staff person was actually sullen. I don't expect the fake cheery you get from the big chains but the young woman with the Cleopatra eyeliner was having a bad day I guess. The barista was pleasant though and his coffee art was beautiful. On Saturday between 1 and 2 even though there was plenty of seating, every single table was taken so you had a wait a bit for someone to leave their table to snag one but this was probably their busiest time of the week. Parking is challenging in the area due to all the small businesses but just circle a few times. read more

I tried the chocolate espresso bread and it was scrumptious. It was a quick easy and out.

Saturday morning. I always expect any coffee shops to be busy, and they are no exception. You may have to wait for your drink and some seating to be opened. But I like that once you sit down, it is comfortable, and high sealing gives you open space. If the weather is nice, you could sit outside as well. It is located in an area with access to many stores, restaurants, and cafes, easy parking, and a good place to meet with people and catch up. read more

I really overall like Crema and recently had an unfortunate experience that may have honestly moved me to a three-star review, BUT the staff at Crema handled it all so well, that I went right back to a five-star! Essentially, I ended up landing at Crema, ordered a coffee and a piece of nectarine crumble pie, and settled into a corner table to get some work done. On the first bite, I noticed a long hair in the pie, typically, I would honestly just throw it out and let it go as I have spent many years in food service and know how easy it is for something like this to happen, but this time, when I went to pull it out, I couldn't because it was baked into the crust. At that point, I was too grossed out to continue, so...I went back to the counter and explained the situation. The counter person, immediately took the plate away, offered me anything else as a replacement, handed me a $5 card for a future purchase at Crema, and apologized profusely. How is THAT for customer service!! read more

This was quite a busy shop, tons of people coming and going of all ages. Plenty of seating inside and a few tables outside. Felt a little industrial and dark. They have tons of baked goods to choose from and even a small menu of sandwich type things. I ordered a bacon and egg breakfast sandwich and even though it was tasty, I was not satisfied and kept me wanting more. It was the smallest sandwich. The size I would choose for a child. Would not order that again, or their sandwiches if they are similar in size. The cappuccino was good. Medium, no complaints. I ordered a Marionberry pastry that I ate later that day. It tasted good, the crust was flakey, but there was too much cheese filling and not enough berry. It did the job. Would come again. read more

I had an amazing blueberry muffin. Not too cakey, tons of blueberries, and a perfectly textured crunchy top. Also got a solid oat milk Latte, and a very good d chocolate chip cookie. read more

TWO WORDS: Sticky bun. Is that one or two words? Well either was the sticky bun was absolutely amazing and you must go just for that treat. We came for the coffee and stayed for the sticky bun. Coffee was good, not overly sweet, just how I like it. I also tried their seasonal watermelon agua Fresca - refreshing and good! The service was welcoming and quick! The front of the house was happy to walk through the menu and treats as I decided to pick what I wanted. I can wait to come back and try their other offerings. Parking is limited to street parking, but we had no problem finding a spot. Plenty of seating - looked like a lot of students and work from home going on here for a change of scenery! read more

Popped in put of the cold rain for a warm drink. Sis ordered a Chai latte and I got a hot apple cider. It was as juicy as a biting into a crisp apple and warmed my insides. The baked goods were tempting but I was saving room for lunch. Customers can obtain a bathroom code for access. I was in awe of the artwork and wish I would've peeped the second one. The inside of this coffee shop was pretty spacious yet still lacked open seating. I sat at a table that was entirely too close to have a private convo from the next table. Service was friendly. read more

I love this place, great pastries, coffee and space. But the service is always so unbelievably slow. The baristas are always nice and genuine. I'm just amazed how slow the drinks come out and how consistently long the lines are. People in the morning want to come in, grab a coffee and baked good, and then head to work. Instead, you sit in line for 10 minutes, order and then wait another 10 minutes for espresso drinks to be made. Another coffee station, or a way for people to grab a quick coffee/pastry and then go would be amazing. Good luck, Crema read more

The food that I ordered was absolutely disgusting. I had banh mi sandwich and the chicken looked and tastes like it was canned and very cheap. The veggies were in a separate plastic bag for some reason. I only had one bite and threw away the whole box.. the coffee was good tho. I haven't tried the bakery. The place looks very dirty and messy in a kitchen area. That's why I didn't risk finishing my food that already tastes really bad.. the server was very nice lady read more

One of my favorite regular stops for getting work done. The folks behind the coffee counter rock (Alysa your music selection is excellent too!). I'm a weekly regular at this point - gorgeous place for good quiet work on your laptop or tool of choice. read more

This place is pretty great! There is almost always a line when I go. This location has seating inside and outside. The selection of baked goods always looks amazing and it's hard to pick something. They even sell some items like bread loaves, cakes, and pot pies. There is a dessert case that I have not tried anything from yet. The savory baked items are phenomenal. I have had some great veggie quiches. The breakfast turnover with eggs and potatoes is my favorite! It's a flaky crust and can almost feed two people. I tried the muffin in the picture and it was good, but a little dry. Luckily, they make a good latte to wash it down. They even make a few specialty drinks. This is a great coffee shop and bakery, but not if you are in a rush. read more

Came here on a recommendation from a local. Wow! Totally worth the hype. The quiche was phenomenal (with a slush side salad) as was the kickstart breakfast sandwich. And the iced espresso with sweetened condensed milk and cream was so decadent! My partner was very satisfied with his black coffee. They really do custom make each cup. Then we had to try a few of the bakery goods too, otherwise what would be the fun in coming and missing dessert? Let me tell you, if you're a lemon poppyseed fan, you do not want to miss theirs!! It was probably the most tender and moist lemon poppyseed cake I've ever tasted. The pain au chocolat was fine. Not of Parisian standards, but my never-been-to-Paris partner thought it was quite good. So you decide. I won't judge. All-in-all this was a fab way to start our day. Great service staff, nice seating options and above all, great eats! read more

Welcoming and spacious cafe, offering various drinks, pastries, and bakeries. Cafe au late was well balanced and good. While chai latte was a bit lukewarm, the spice and flavor were great. I really enjoyed bread pudding, which was dense, eggy, and light sweetness. Breakfast sandwich was smaller than what we expected but fresh and good. We also tried berry pastry and quiche, which were both tasty and highly recommended. The service was pretty quick. There are tons of table in and outside. I'd love to try other baked goods next time. read more

Everything they do they do from scratch. They also have a lot of unusual sweet items. Their sandwiches are great I love the turkey Brie with half a salad or a soup. The team and service is nice and friendly. There are a lot of places to sit inside but also outside and it's easy to enjoy a good coffee a pastry and the sun! Simply just a great space to have in the neighborhood read more

Had delivery via doordash. Ordered turkey panini, restaurant substituted a ham baguette. Cold and flavorless. Got biscuit which is the size of a lunch plate, with a weird sweet taste. Not good. Got Mexican iced coffee. Again, no flavor of spice,sweetness. Possibly the worst Mexican mocha I've had. Everything ordered disappointed. read more

This coffee shop is consistently amazing! I have been here multiple times over the years and I've never been disappointed. Staff is always professional, the quality of the food and coffee is top notch, and the space is always clean and feels inviting. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. A great place to meet up with friends and talk a walk to Laurelhurst park! read more

Great drink menu and pastry selection. Dogs are welcome to come in while you order and wait for your order. Then you must take to go or sit outside (lots of seating!) Their mask mandate was still in effect on 1/4/22 and they had a basket of masks inside the front door. I read about some complaints in reviews but it's their prerogative and with the current tripledemic and an infant at home, I appreciated their safety measures. We ordered a rose latte, cappuccino, jalapeño cheddar corn biscuit and almond croissant. The biscuit and rose latte were fantastic. The croissant was not what I'm used to. It didn't have an almond paste inside and it was just a little boring. But there's such a big selection so I'm sure I'll be back and will update the review accordingly. read more

Long review. First two paragraphs are the jist of the review. The rest is a personal experience. Our overall experience with Crema was positive in regards to food, speed and nice outdoor seating. . This was mostly because of the food/drinks and speed of the line. We tried their breakfast sandwich, ham and cheese croissant, pumpkin pie, honey vanilla latte (Oatmilk and Hot) and vanilla caramel latte (iced and breve). Literally all of it was awesome. Well pulled shots, flaky filled croissant, fresh egg and delicious bacon and so on. There were so many choices I went into decision paralysis for a minute and that's not a bad thing. With that said, I had mixed feelings about their procedures for (I'm assuming) Covid? First was large signs plastered on the window to wear a mask. I don't mind wearing a mask but that was a bit off putting for a place that could easily have a "friendly neighborhood cafe" vibe. My wife and I only had one between us so I went in. The line moved well and the people were friendly. All was well. So, I'm waiting for my coffee near a bench with a handicapped sign. I'm not just a big guy but I have limited mobility and my hands shake. The person making coffee (nicely) asked me to walk up these steps and wait outside. There were arrows on the floor pointing to outside but I figured they were for customer flow. I managed up the stairs and back down when she called, hoping not to drop the food that I was holding. Then when I walk up to the coffee bar. The person puts them out for me filled to the brim with no lids. I say, "can I have a lid on them? My hands shake." Instead of just doing it (there were lids right next to them), the person had me go get the lids, bring them back and try to put them on myself. So look, I'm new to Portland. Just moved here. No neighborhood cafe who is adamant about such precautious would have come close to this experience. And I have frequented many. Don't make assumptions about ability over your rules. read more

Portland is a spot I've had good food and drinks at during previous trips. Crema was the first spot we visited this weekend, and we came here for breakfast. The ambiance was nice, and the service good. There were outdoor seatings - fortunately with tents to dodge the rain. Unfortunately, I thought both the latte and pan Au chocolat were just ok - even by SD standards. Perhaps my expectations were just higher for Portland? Do try dipping it into your coffee, I think it tastes quite nice. read more

I don't drink coffee! And I haven't tried the pastries. I do come here fairly often for their chai latte and other tea drinks, which are excellent. The hot chocolate is good too. They required masks much longer than most businesses, which I appreciated. Alas, they finally gave in to the tide and no longer require masks. The place is spacious with high ceilings, though, so feels fairly Covid-safe. Also there is outdoor seating, but not covered or heated. They have a great location, near action-packed 28th & Burnside. Crema sits on the corner of Rainbow Road, a carfree block that also includes Gorges Beer Co. Bicyclists, stop by on Wednesdays for Bike Happy Hour, when you get $2 discount on drinks at Crema and Gorges, while admiring the cool bikes and talking with bike people! read more

We used to love Crema but it has definitely gone downhill. After we ordered our overpriced beverages and paid, we were told that they were all out of the syrup we had paid extra for. They didn't offer to refund the money for the syrup, so we paid extra for syrup we didn't get and the lattes were subpar. read more

I go there for the cookies but unfortunately they are incredibly inconsistent. Most days they are large, about one inch thick and very soft, cooked perfectly. Other times, mostly on the weekends, they are larger but very flat with crunchy if not burnt edges and hard. On the soft days it is a perfect cookie, one my favorites ever. On the hard days it is an unpleasant experience for the same price. read more

I got a honey vanilla oat milk iced latte. 9/10. I really liked this one. Def busy morning vibes, would come again!

Consistently good coffee, but for me it's all about the savory breakfast options here. The scones and biscuits are also tasty, you can't go wrong with the mushroom machego biscuit! If you're more into the sweets they have a ton to choose from, house made cinnamon rolls & sticky buns, chocolate espresso bread, cookies, cakes and tarts. read more

Got the turnover, banana muffin, & Jalepino cheese flakey bread circle Turnover was suppose to be 'egg and cheese' Was mostly potatoes and red peppers. Muffin was too sugary Jalapeño was the best thing.

I came here for a pumpkin spice latte and sadly they did not have any. However there were a lot of specialty lattes on the menu and I tried the Carmel sutra. It was so decadent and I could taste the real vanilla bean hints and creamy caramel layers in the oat milk. It was an amazing latte made with high quality coffee! I guzzled it pretty quickly because it was hard to put down. There were tons of breakfast items, breads, pastry's and cookies that all looked fabulous. They are set up so only a few people can be inside at a time and the rest wait outside under this tent and they have a speaker so you can hear you name called. My barista was very friendly! The lattes are expensive but good quality. The wait time was probably over 10 min (it was really busy), so if you come here at a busy time make sure you're not in a rush! read more

This place is always super busy, but it's because they have such amazing food. You cannot go wrong. Good luck just picking out one thing! I usually get multiple pastries to take home, both sweet and savory. They have also been around for a very long time, survived the pandemic, and are a Portland staple at this point. Love all of the huge windows. It's one of my favorite places to meet people for coffee. read more

Coming back from Seattle, where we were spoiled for coffee options, this coffee shop is average. The pluses is that there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and many menu options, some better than others. My husband is a croissant conneseir and he didn't finish his here--which I've never seen. A positive is that they do have gluten free options for muffins which I always appreciate so that added a star. Coffee wise, husband just drinks black drip and he said that was fine. The cold brew was acidic after a couple minutes, even with cream added, which is rare. I didn't feel much jolt of caffeine so likely middle of the road with caffeine content even with cold brew. If in the area and nothing else was close, would try again, wouldn't go out of the way to drive here, so 3 stars. read more

Delicious food and coffee. But watch your order as it's being made. My Spanish latte got stolen.
