    Absolutely love Crema! If you're looking for coffee in Monterey, check them out. I stopped here for the first time for an afternoon pick me up and ordered a hot vanilla latte with oatmilk. My drink was really good! The staff were welcoming and friendly. Loved that they have indoor and outdoor seating, and very beautiful decor too. There is a small parking lot if you drive here. However, it's a short walk from Lovers Beach Point, which was nice. Can't wait to visit again while in Monterey!

    My cousin brought us here during a visit, and it was a great choice. The location is beautiful, with amazing views and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the scenery. We came on a Friday during a holiday weekend, so it was pretty busy. Luckily, we happened to arrive at the right time and were able to grab a table that was just being cleared. The food was good, and everyone enjoyed their meals. I ordered the Green Goddess Shrimp Roll, which had a generous amount of shrimp, plenty of flavor, and a fresh, soft roll. The rest of our group ordered the Bay King and Veggie Frittata, and both were enjoyed as well. The Bloody Mary was a highlight for me--loaded with toppings and one of the better ones I've had in a while! Service was decent. Nothing that really stood out, but overall we had a nice experience. The views and atmosphere definitely make this place worth a visit.

    What a cute spot! After driving 2.5 hrs for our getaway, we arrived at Lovers Point for brunch. We entered on the side of the bar which was beautiful. The inside of Crema feels way more spacious and bright on the inside. I was told they also have an expanded back room. There's a good sized dining area with huge windows overlooking the park across the street and ocean. They have plenty of seating outside too including lounge chairs.You walk down a short corridor to get to the bathrooms (there's a water dispenser for one's water bottle which is nice! [maybe for staff though? Lol]). I got a whole big table to myself and one big plus about this place is it's so dog friendly!! My boys and I got a water bowl and plenty of loving attention. I tried the butterfly lemonade. It's purple! My favorite color. Thank goodness not too sweet. But you can sweeten it with a rock candy wand. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Plate. It was delicious and they give you a big helping of herbed cream cheese. There's a side of salad. The salmon is fresh and complemented with the appropriate amount of capers and pickled onions. I also tried the tomato and lentil soup. It comes out nice and hot. They give you such a generous amount and it's a rich texture that is just thick enough. Overall everything tasted really fresh. Service was prompt and attentive. All in all such a great location for refreshing bites and drinks! Great spot to relax and take a break.

    Positives: beautiful view, pleasant environment. Needs improvement: service slow and abrupt, food needs lots of improvement. We ordered Farro salad ($17) and crema cubano ($20). Farro salad was just that, very bland farro covering less than fresh arugula with very few strategically placed halfs of blackberries. Creama cubano sandwich was ok, again, very very bland, and bread tasted less than done. I didnot enjoy any of it.

    The food is super delicious fresh and flavorful The atmosphere is wonderful. It's really cozy, welcoming and relaxing. Has a hometown feeling. The service was very attentive. Everyone was on top of all of our request and was able to customize some of our ingredients that we would like to remove to make a special day.

    Beautiful view from our table

    The decorations are airy and inviting and the view, divine. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. We came in on a Thursday afternoon around 2PM. There were only 2 other tables with customers finishing their meals. We were seated and waited 10 minutes before we were acknowledged or even offered water. We thought they forgot about us, several times through our meal. There were 2 employees folding napkins and others walking in and out of the room, but we remained invisible. We ordered a sandwich and a salad. They were good but not worth the lack of service we received despite so many employees present. We felt unimpressed by the experience as everyone was obviously more concerned with prepping for one of their first days with an extended schedule into the afternoon/evening. We were so excited about this location being reopened, but we have too many favorite places to eat in town to give our time and money to a place that made us feel like a burden.

    Blueberry matcha (w/ fresh blueberries!)

    Marshmallow cornflake chocolate chip cookie was so good, didn't get to snap a photo but had a perfectly crunchy outer ring & gooey inside. Blueberry matcha tasted freshly made, real blueberries vs that bright artificial blueberry syrup lots of places use - surprisingly flavorful enough without the syrup. Staff were helpful, welcoming & friendly! Charming cozy spot with a great view of Lovers Point.

    A Friday morning visit around 8am The view here is really nice and I loved the vibe with all the plants--it's a cool. It did get pretty loud pretty quickly once more people started coming in, though. The menu is simple and easy to look through. Drinks: I ordered an orange juice and didn't realize it was sparkling--not really what I was expecting, especially for $8. I also got the Nightshift brewed coffee, which was just okay. It's supposed to come with free refills, but our server never came back after taking our order, so that didn't end up happening. $7 for the coffee. Food: Both dishes were $15 each. The veggie frita was just alright (2/5). It had good chunks of potato, spinach, and egg, and I liked that I could swap the salad for fruit. But it was pretty burnt on the top and bottom, missing peppers, and overall just kind of bland. The chili verde burrito was also a 2/5. It was a good size with big chunks of meat and plenty of eggs, but it really lacked flavor and spice. It tasted a little better after adding salsa and hot sauce. Service: There were a lot of staff walking around, but not many actually checking in. Our server took our order and didn't come back--I had to ask someone else just to get the check. Experience with our server could have been more positive and inviting to encourage us to come back. Received no thank you for coming or notification that we left. Overall: We'll probably stick with our usual breakfast spots for now. Maybe it'll improve once they get their liquor license.

    Nice to see a new business, which was once one of my favorite restaurants, The Tinnery. We enjoyed a morning coffee served hot and creamy. (The Ghirardelli Mocha). They have a nice selection of morning pastries. We had the lemon cream scone, which were large, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Their outside patio ocean view is fantastic. They also offer a regular dine-in food menu and wine bar. Next time we stop, we'll try a sit-down lunch. Give Crema a try next time you're in Pacific Grove.

    Arrived about 9 for breakfast on a Friday. They were packed but we were quickly seated at a table for two with a view of the ocean. Service was great and the food was excellent.

    Love this place! The incredible view, wonderful service, and every item on the menu so far has been delicious. Don't tell anyone about the comfy chairs on the patio that come with a blanket. That's a special morning spot for my dog Buster and me!

    Monday brunch was a great time to come here as it wasn't crowded like it normally is. I was peacefully left alone with my meal, latte, and book for a lovely two hours. I loved Crema's last location but this one is certainly roomier with a better view. Staff were friendly and the food was delish. I'll certainly return in the future.

    Butterfly lemonade about to be mixed by this customer (with one already mixed behind it). Yellow + blue = ______.
    J R.

    Rounding up from 3.5 stars. This is a place I'd love to love, but service issues and inconsistency still need to be ironed out. I've had the huevos rancheros burrito twice now. The first time, I thought it was perhaps the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. More recently, it was lacking in both texture and flavor (even once I added some of their delicious salsa). The inclusion of chopped tater tots is a nice idea, but if they're soggy, it changes the whole nature of the dish. Note that the burritos can be a bit messy, so it would be helpful if they were served with napkins and silverware. Not everything is "finger food," and picking up chunks of scrambled eggs with one's hands isn't for everyone. I really enjoyed the iced blueberry matcha tea drink on my first visit. The "butterfly" lemonade on my second trip was visually appealing, but didn't "wow" me. Same goes for the chocolate chip walnut oatmeal cookie--good, but not really memorable. Looking forward to a future meal or snack there.

We had the option of indoor or outdoor dining. Based on previous yelp photos I decided to try the Cappuccino and I am glad I did. Made with LavAzza coffee I felt like I was in Italy again. My husband and I decided to share the combo plate. Scrambled eggs, potatoes, chicken sausage and a homemade biscuit. The salsa that it comes with is amazing so don't skip it. The portion was large and plenty for two people. The food was fresh, and flavorful. While the food was great, I think what makes this an amazing spot is the team. Each person was attentive, very friendly and made sure everyone had what they needed. I think we discovered a new spot and plan to be back. Oh and I love that they have a sign out front about providing a sandwich even if you can't afford one.

The meat was in cubes with veggies & a white sauce. Given that information, it had no flavor. The sauce was watery & barely added anything to the dish. Similarly, the chicken pot pie was incredibly creamy with not enough seasoning to balance it out. -Service/Staff: Despite being sat by the entryway, staff barely checked in on us to see if we needed anything. On multiple occasions, they checked on other groups around us, but not us. This was slightly upsetting as we felt invisible. -Overall: This place was just average. Nothing was particularly stand out about the food & the staff wasn't attentive during our visit. We were hopeful as it had great reviews.

If you ask the locals for a non touristy place to eat, this is it! We've had breakfast and lunch here. You cannot go wrong with any of their menu options. The people working here are down to earth and friendly. We normally will ask them for recommendations. We enjoy their Classic BLT's, the Meatball sandwich, the Hot Pastrami, and the Cobb Salad. As far as breakfast is concerned, we love their chicken fried steak, Denver Omelette, French Toast, and pancakes. Overall, a great local restaurant with years of experience. The food is delicious and the employees make you feel welcomed. We will have to come for dinner next time!

    I'm sorry but I didn't found anything special in their food or menu…read more Egg Benedict same to any other placer, I know is a classic but flavor wise aren't in the good side, Hollandaise sauce tu much lemon. Country potato arrived as we order crispy but no onion, no bell pepper.... Just potato French toast , you can innovate a lot with this dish, but thin slices of whole wheat bread for a French toast? If you looking for something healthy to eat, you don't going to order French toast . The good in this dish the orange sauce. Portions are generous and price fair. The place really needs a good face lifting and cleaning. Most of the time you can see how clean is the place when you use the restroom.....and wasn't clean........... Best overall Rhonda our server, she was very nice, talking with us, checking our table and refilling coffee very often. Great job Rhonda, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Unfortunately I do not coming back to this restaurant if I'm around the area.

My white mocha only got better with each sip (chocolate settled at the bottom), and my cheeseburger made with Angus beef was so juicy and satisfying. I should've cut it in half to save room for the sweets. The salsa that came with my cousin's Quiche Lorraine and strawberry spinach salad was so delicious that I ordered a side of it for my fries. Urbano kindly shared the recipe when I asked. Although it was a red salsa, it also had tomatillos, which gave it the salsa verde flavor too. Wish they bottled that. My sister was ok with her Crab Cakes but wished she had ordered the Crab Benedict instead. I also had a couple bites of Nutella waffle that we ordered to share. Urbano also gave us a big cookie that we took to share later at the beach. How sweet!
