AMAZING THIS DRINK IS EVERYTHING! You need to try it out. The soft serve gelato paired with the chai?! They also have a matcha, coffee, and earl gray option! It's so heavenly, and the last few sips are so creamy. The interior itself is very tiny and cramped, so it's more of a grab and go drink. The baristas were all so sweet, and made for a great overall experience:) read more

Crema Coffee + Cream - Chai Affogatto - Gelato Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

After stopping for breakfast somewhat nearby, we were looking for a new place to try for a coffee. Crema was nearby and I had heard good things, so decided to stop by to get our caffeine fix for the day. The shop is a little small, but there is a parking lot next door and street parking available. They also serve ice cream along with coffee. The day we went, they had a cherry flat white on special, which I got and was absolutely perfect. Hubs got an iced latte, per usual. Staff were incredibly friendly and service was fast, especially considering how many people were in the shop. read more

Stopped in after my run along the river as I planned to grab some baked goods Nextdoor at Asa's and was so excited to see this coffee shop I've heard nothing but wonderful things about was right Nextdoor. I popped in right before close and it was still pretty busy with people waiting for their goodies. I had the Morris Park (spiced vanilla latte) and it was the perfect amount for sweet and spice. Lots of people had their ice cream creations which all looked incredible. It's bright and full of greenery inside and they have dog treats at the counter which always gets a win in my book. read more

Such a cute coffee shop. Not much room to sit but minnehaha park is just around the corner. Hot chocolate was very good and hit the spot. Cute place on the nokomis main street read more

Going to coffee shops on Sunday is one of my most enjoyable activities, especially new ones. I stopped by on a Sunday and glad I did. It is a cool tiny shot that is best for grab and go; some seating outside in the front to hang out for a little. I ordered a Cardamom Cortado; it was creamy rich and strong - well balanced! The guys in there were super nice will definitely come back for their service alone. I am curious to try some of their breakfast sandwiches and their season Pumpkin Pie latte [ Can't wait]. I only got wind of this place because I am an avid instagram reel watcher specifically for good eat and drink spots. I will definitely be back this weekend. read more

About as enjoyable as a Starbucks. Actually...both less and more. First off, a coffee shop has to be about the coffee. I ordered my standard Americano, and it was...slightly better than Starbucks. Not much better, but some. Now I appreciate a small coffee shop with personable service that doesn't come across as a soulless corporate hell hole, but...Two Adirondack chairs inside and two outside made me yearn for at least a small table and a couple of more chairs. I mean, about as much seating as a coffee cart. Now the food. Not a huge fan of toaster strudel that you get at Starbucks, but at least they have some. Crema has a tray with some limited options. And don't get me started on the soft serve they sell as some luxury treat. That's called DQ, but DQ does it better. They were nice. Coffee was (sort of) better than Starbucks. Three stars. Won't be back unless someone is making the call. read more

Crema Coffee + Cream - Counter. It's small with a little bit of indoor and outdoor seating - Gelato Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is a cute neighborhood coffee shop which always seems busy. They regularly offer seasonal specialty drinks. I do wish they carried almond milk (their only nondairy option is oat milk). They also do not have inside seating besides a stool or two but there is patio seating available out front on nice days. All around it is a nice place to stop for a coffee on the way to work. read more

Took my brother her as he was preparing to move to Minnesota and I think it sold him! Also brought friends last fall before a walk around Lake Nokomis. This is the perfect spot to pick up coffee before or gelato after a lake walk. I loveeeee the colorful interior and beautiful painted mural inside, and it has so much charm for such a little space. I honestly like that it doesn't have any seating inside: just a takeout only spot. There are a few Adirondack chairs outside on the sidewalk through! They serve delicious coffee beverages - I got the chai-der which was unique and tasty. They also serve soft serve gelato which is a MUST. Get it in the "tiny" size for a little treat that's affordable and not too much! Be sure to add sprinkles! read more

Delicious affogato, and a unique Chai lemonade. Friendly service. We were visiting from out of town, but would definitely return next time we are there. read more

Nice spot in this neighborhood closed to Minnehaha Falls area. It is nested in the block where there are small stores. They have gelatos, coffees, non coffees and you can complement your drink with baked goods from the next door bakery. We have cold coffee and bagels. I like they affogato, dark spicy mocha and Morris Park (vanilla latte) read more

Had a wonderful experience here! I stopped in early on a rainy Thursday on my way to work and had great service & a delicious coffee! I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte and it was to die for! They also have soft serve gelato! I didn't get a chance to try any but have read reviews that it's delicious! The store had the most beautiful mural that had such beautiful vibrant colors- instantly put you in a good mood. Not much seating inside but they had plenty of cute tables on the street. 5/5 would recommend! read more

Just landed at MSP, checked Yelp for local coffee shops, this was #1. Certainly lives up to the rating. Coffee is phenomenal: smooth, velvety espresso. The patrons and the employees alike were wonderful. Super nice and helpful on recommendations. Ambiance. Great neighborhood in Nokomis. A few tables and Adirondack chairs outside. Nice place to enjoy a cup of coffee, get some sun, and watch the world pass by. read more

Overall, great selection of drinks. I enjoyed the honey lavender latte and would recommend to anyone. There was an interesting matcha affogato drink that I haven't seen at other coffee shops. I didn't try it this time but will be ordering it my next time in. read more

Stopped here for coffee on a Saturday morning and they were pretty busy but service was still quick (even though I only saw two employees). I got the maple oat milk cold brew and it was delicious! Not overly sweet, but still tasted like fall :) The staff were extremely friendly and the place was adorable! Only complaint is it's small inside with little to no seating so we took our coffee to go. I will be back to try their Matcha latte and Gelato! read more

Normally I would review a coffee place solely based on its basic coffee. For Crema I make an exception for its tremendous Gelato. I can't get enough. I love it. My kid loves it. It inspired me to finally try an Affogato for the first time. I might be addicted now. The place is small and lacks the reading / working space vibe I generally like in a coffee shop but it's still a great little place that I would highly recommend if you want a sweet treat. read more

Pretty good coffee shop. I ordered their house blend. 2 chairs to sit inside. Grab and go shop. No bathroom.

I thought the coffee was good. The only downfall is it's not really a walking neighborhood & there is no where to sit & drink.

So happy that we have this coffee shop in our neighborhood! I love their seasonal apple chai - it's the perfect warming fall drink. Every drink I've had so far was made with love and most importantly was delicious! They have delicious pastries but I've noticed they can sell out so make sure to get there early if you want a Marc Heu croissant! Can always head next door to Asa's if they're out though :) The ambiance is bright and cheerful and airy inside- full of gorgeous plants and the walls are painted with fun colors that remind me of the fun artistic rugs at IKEA. There isn't a place to sit inside so it's not somewhere to come and work, but for a quick cup of good caffeine or a treat yourself gelato, this is for you! read more

This is such a nice little coffee shop. The owners and employees are helpful and answer my many questions and then give me good recommendations for drinks. The breakfast sandwich was tasty and so were the baked goods. My grandson loves to get an ice cream cone! read more

Just left this coffee shop absolutely a gem. Super cute with friendly service. The coffee is delicious. I will have to add it to my stop on my visits to Minnesota when I visit my son. I will share with the other parents to give them a try on your way to the airport! Did I mention the coffee was delicious read more

So much more than a coffee shop; I came for a cup of tea but decided on a delicious root beer float! The barista was engaging and appeared happy. The atmosphere is bright and relaxing. Be aware that this is essentially a takeaway beverage spot. . There is some seating outside and two Adirondack chairs. That would not deter me from coming back. read more

Great little spot in south Minneapolis. Super friendly staff and nice variety of coffee items and creative drinks on the menu. Haven't had the gelato, so can't speak to that, but you can't go wrong going here for coffee. Very small inside, not much room to sit, but the sitting area is beautiful if it is not already occupied on your visit. You can surround yourself with plants while you sip, it is lovely. read more

I was visiting my mom from out of town and went to pick up bagels. This adorable coffee shop was right next door. Grabbed an iced matcha latte and a cortado and both were perfect. The place is bright and cozy and the people who run it are very sweet! Will definitely be back whenever I come visit. I wish this cute place was here when I was growing up! read more

A great new locally owned coffee shop in the Nokomis Village neighborhood. Friendly staff, great drip coffee, and a great location!

Great place for a quick coffee stop. The cold brew is strong and the service is friendly. What more do you really need?

Crema is my absolute favorite place! They have a great selection of coffee flavors with some unique ones such as the "Keewaydin" with rose and cardamom. In addition the espresso is delightfully smooth and their cold brew is a nice balance of fruity and chocolatey. They also have the best variety of croissants ever (however you will need to get up early to snag one lol). I also really appreciate how much they've integrated themselves into they neighborhood despite the small space with the use of neighborhoods as drink names, the addition of the community board, and even the employees + owners who always remember and chat with regulars. Such a welcoming place! I highly recommend trying a miel from them as they have truly perfect the cinnamon to honey ratio for both hot and iced. The salted caramel cold brew is also a favorite, but trust, anything will be great. (Also check out the rotating soft serve flavors!) read more

The chai-der is a mix of hot chai and hot cider. Delicious! Haven't tried their pastries yet because they're always sold out by the time we roll in around 11, but they must be good to keep selling out. read more

The coffee is delicious and the pastries OMG they are so delicious. Definitely worth a try.

I've been here a few times now. Friendly staff, great coffee and delicious pastries. Perfect neighborhood spot.
