It didn't take long for Crema to become a dynasty in Tyler. Opening just in 2021, Crema has become one of the top spots to get local coffee in Tyler and has built a large group of fans already. I think Crema is good, but to me, they are not really a coffee shop made to get your standard drinks at. Their specialty signature drinks are really what sells them. They are sugary, they are sweet, it's like a dessert in a cup at times. I categorize that style as "sweet treat coffee." Less about the coffee and more about coffee being the base of a sugary fun drink. That's their style, and it works for them. I think that can make a lot of people dislike them for not being as traditional as other coffee shops in the area, but that also opens the floor for people to go to Crema instead of a Dutch Bros/7 Brew and actually have an establishment with a cafe vs. just a drive-through. Their specialty holiday drinks can be pretty over-the-top and exciting as well. I remember they did a Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink once, and it was a behemoth of a drink. Crema opened after I had started going to college, but I've been quite a few times since it was the closest coffee shop to my parents' house for some time and my mom's co-workers loved going there. I would go every trip back and I started working it into my routine to hit up Crema before driving back to college every semester, getting their matcha. Before the matcha craze really took off, I tried Crema's Vanilla Oatmilk Matcha Latte, and I was pretty impressed with it because it tasted earthy but still sweet. I could best compare it to a flavor of Lucky Charms. I went to Crema when I was taking a quick trip to Tyler, and I ordered their iced Dolce with no whipped cream. I thought that it was a great treat after a long morning hike, but possibly too sweet on the wrong day. They now serve their drinks in those rounded bottom cups like La La Land does, which seems to be a trend, but it all makes sense for the concept of Crema. The spot is nice, the baristas are all very friendly, and it was buzzing with people that Sunday afternoon. The drive-through line was stretched super wide even though they were moving orders very quickly. It's great to see it doing well since I've left Tyler. RIYL: A sweet treat. read more

First time here in Tyler and we kept seeing things about crema! It was in a great location and easy to spot. The drinks ran on the sweeter side, but easy to modify. Overall enjoyed the multitude of options they provided. There was ample seating with outlets. There was a good mix of people studying/chatting and just hanging out. It wasn't overtly nosiy so I can see this location be a great study spot! read more

The coffees here are delish! Coming from someone who drinks a lot of coffee and make a lot at home, the crema on top was above average!

The drinks are always delicious and the service is so fast and they're always so nice. I'm always greeted with a smile and fast service. They remembered my order after I ordered it only three times, it made me feel important. I just moved to tyler and this will be my go to coffee shop! read more

I think the downtown location is great. Never had a problem there, great atmosphere. Unfortunately, I can't fully recommend the Three Lakes location because of inconsistency. If I stop by during breakfast time, a breakfast biscuit is usually part of my order. But I've been told the oven is down so many times. It's discouraged me from going because I can never be sure if I'm driving over there for something they may or may not have. They need equipment they can rely on so the customers can rely on them. read more

Went to Tyler for a little trip with the kids, zoo, indoor water park, discovery museum, all the things. So I ordered coffee each day we were there and this place was my absolute favorite out of all the places we went! Thankfully I don't live near by or I'd be going daily The staff were so nice and helpful also. Anytime I pass through that way I'll be stopping! read more

Enjoyed my Carmella and avocado toast. They were careful to make sure my egg allergy was taken care of. The Carmella was a little sweet for me - I should have ordered half sweet, but still yummy! Cute interior. read more

Went through the drive-through tasted my coffee and it was slightly better so I asked them to put just a little bit of sweetener in it got it back and it tasted nothing but granulated sugar very disappointing for an expensive drink. And they looked at me like I was stupid when I asked for a little bit of sweetener in it. read more

This place was recommended to me by a doctor I used to work for. I've been 2-3 times I think. I've enjoyed it every time. The employees are always so nice, the music is always good but not distracting and the drinks are good. What really let me know the service was great was I ordered a small hot chocolate as my second drink and the barista suggested a mug and delivered it to my table. It was a small personal touch but it made a big impact. I do think they need to add more outlets for the people who sit and study like me. Also maybe a few more teas for people like me who quit coffee but still enjoy coffee shop vibes. read more

Their matcha and vanilla latte were amazing. They have some board games for kiddos to stay occupied!

I got a dry cappuccino and my girlfriend got the Carmella. The cappuccino was good, the espresso had a great flavor. We also both got bagels, I got the ham and cheddar on a everything bagel, and she got the plain bagel and cream cheese. The bagels were small, and not very pillowy. The cream cheese was average, probably Philly. There were two slices of deli ham on mine and one slice of cheddar. For 7$ I don't think that's worth getting again. The everything bagel also has the everything baked it rather than being on the outside of the bagel. The service was fine, order taking was pretty slow. The shop itself is inviting enough but pretty white and sterile compared to other coffee shops. I'd come here again but I would try other foods like maybe their pastry options read more

Great coffee and food selection. I aim for a basic americano with heavy cream but my friends that have a sweet tooth love the signature drinks full of flavor and sugar :). Chill ambience and nice staff. read more

Good coffee, nice little joint. It was pretty busy in the morning, so go at a slightly more off hour to avoid that.

Service was great! Very helpful and work with us and picky kids drink choices. They were super fast with our orders and they had more customers as well. We had the bacon Egg and cheese burrito, kids loved them. Kids are picky and told us they were good. We had one Sugarplum coffee it's was great. Plus they have different milk choices oatmeal and soy. (Most definitely a plus for me) The pumpkin loaf tasted delicious, must try if you like pumpkin. It had a creamy fillings that made every bite so balancing and delicious. We also had the brown sugar cinnamon scone, it tasted delicious. The ambiance is nice cozy. They had a nice Christmas tree and nice seating. Place was clean and inviting the over crowded. read more

It's such an amazing place to study. The coffee is Devine!! All of the food is gluten free but still tastes amazing. The service is fast and kind. The space is very calm but bright. I often come to sit and read by the fireplace read more

FYI Yelp says you open at 6a on Sundays. There's also no hours on the door. I drove over on a trip expecting you to be open...

The staff is always nice, the coffee is always fantastic, and the frosted strawberry lemonade is to die for.

Come here for the Nutella latte!! Pastries we tried were all good. Nice staff. Enjoy the drive thru convenience.

Wonderful owners! Great coffee and tea choices, deliciously made fresh and fast! I love the Tofu scramble! They have Vegan desserts that go great with your morning coffee! Call ahead and order then pick up at the window! Awesome place! read more

I go to Crema several times a week ever since we moved here last year. The best coffee and nicest people in town! Also love the muffins. They are very accommodating to changes to your drink to fit any diet lots of great options. read more

Lots of GF options. The coffee was great and the baristas were friendly. The shop is cute and a great place to meet a friend or get some work done. read more

I use to love this place, but recently the wait time has become awful and the coffee standard has lowered. I guess I just go to Starbucks in Fresh from now on. Waiting 15 mins with only one person ahead is not ok. read more

Love this place the employees are so sweet and patient, will explain any drink to you! I wanted like a caramel macchiato that you would get from Starbucks, but sugar free, and they whipped it right up! It's delicious! HWC instead of milk, a totally keto drink. Starbucks doesn't have all sugar free. Cute atmosphere and a lot of different and interesting drinks. I highly recommend read more

My husband and I are addicted to Crema! We go almost every morning now. Every drink is amazing and I love that you can ask for them half sweet. My favorite to date has been a cold brew with cinnamon and vanilla - so delicious! So glad we found this hidden gem. read more

Really great coffee. My husband owns a coffee shop so I am picky with coffee and I truly enjoy Crema. They also have gluten free vegan pastries read more

$2.81 for a small, bitter and lukewarm (at best) coffee. I got it to go and was down the highway before I took a sip or I would have demanded a refund. When you pay coffee shop prices for coffee, you expect it to be hot and flavorful. This was undrinkable and I poured it out. read more

Delicious coffee but unfortunately when busy the staff isn't organized in how they make coffee. My order took over 20 minutes to make while orders behind me were filled. Walked out with only half of my order being filled and after 20 minutes my coffee still hadn't been started. Disappointed to say the least. read more

The staff is really quick and friendly. I love that they have all unique kinds of coffee that you can try.

Best espresso shots Ive tasted in the better part of a year. Would definitely recommend this place. The blueberry muffins are made from scratch as well and taste excellent. read more

Welcoming baristas, comfy environment, excellent coffee, and tasty pastries. You can sit and stay or drive through to order. They offer quality coffee for the snobs like myself as well as sweeter options for those who prefer a flavorful variety. The cinnamon scone was scrumptious, there wasn't a crumb left. read more

Had the S'mores signature coffee and a latte with lavender cold foam. Both were delicious. The espresso tasted smooth...not bitter at all. May prefer a hint more lavender in the cold foam but it had a nice, subtle touch. Place looked clean and the staff is friendly. Interior is very bright so it doesn't have the "cozy coffee shop" feel, but hey, lots of light makes for good instagramming. read more

Everything is delicious PLUS it's the only place I have found with gluten free breakfast options that taste good!

So much awesomeness in one place. Yes, the times may take a little longer on orders but it is so worth the quality of their offerings. Tried several menu items, food and beverage- the gluten-free cinnamon pecan scones are DIVINE. Bonus: everything on their menu is gluten-free, celiacs read more

Yay! We were very pleased. It is Gluten-free and super clean as well as yummo.! My husband is thrilled!

Very very good if you like coffee and are willing to pay for a good one! Amazing ambiance, very clean environment, and very fast! Be sure to tip these awesome baristas! Justin was especially helpful and kind. read more

If you want the amazing coffee, tea or beverages, I highly suggest this place! Not only is their coffee the best but their customer service is beyond this earth. It's my favorite place to go. read more

Crema has a great ambience -- I'll give them that. However, if you like coffee, and I mean, COFFEE, not straight up MILK, then don't come here. They can't even tell the difference between a cappuccino, a latte, and whatever nonsense is on their "signature drinks" menu. Bring your children here, not an adult with common sense. read more

Support local coffee shops! Lovely time at Crema! This is a newer store in the shopping center right beside Fresh. They offer a drive thru, but I definitely recommend going in to see how nice they have made the space! I went in and they were pretty busy, but I had my coffee with a very short wait! I recommend any of the frozen options, and they have a GREAT tasting lavender syrup! As a super cute bonus, the mugs are crafted by the manager! read more
