If you…read morelike subtle chocolate, this might be for you, but I was expecting something more bold and distinct. The designs were beautiful and the chocolate itself was good quality, but the flavors were so subtle that they all tasted one note. I also walked in expecting an experience, only to be welcomed into a space that felt cold and sterile. The interior had a few stainless steel panels (like a commercial kitchen), and the atmosphere felt a bit stale rather than warm or inviting. I was expecting something more immersive given the branding and presentation on social media.

This was my first time trying this place. It was alittle underwhelming. It's inside the proper…read moreshops. It's a small desk area. I tried the strawberry Dubai chocolate cup. It was a solid 7/10.

There are games to play, cards, art prints for sale, books, etc. The couch is comfy and the place feels very clean! Baristas are friendly and are a pleasure to talk to. Pastry selection varies, but they know each item and utensils are provided at the end of the bar. I had an iced mocha latte (12oz) for $7.27 post tax. ^^ Like other reviewers say, the flavor of the coffee is great! The one large ice cube is lovely for keeping the drink not watery, but it doesn't make your drink feel COLD cold if that's something you prefer. My cube lasted an hour in their glass cup, and the drink tasted great and flavorful even when it was gone. No condensation worries at all. Straws are nice and sturdy too! Would come back again. (:

At Crema, they use one big ice cube that resembles one found in a whiskey on the rocks. A large part of me thinks that the finished product can be attributed to the fact that virtually nothing is watered down. The barista was incredibly kind and inviting from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. Because of this, I can get past the sparse seating options that made it feel a little hollow. There weren't a ton of people seated, but it seemed like a good, quiet place to work. More people need to know about this tucked away little place.

Unfortunately, the service felt a bit cold, no one acknowledged me, and the staff didn't seem very welcoming or engaged. I ordered an iced matcha latte, which came unsweetened. No one mentioned that ahead of time or pointed out where the sweeteners were, so I had to look around for them myself. The matcha had a nice flavor, but the texture was a bit grainy, suggesting it might not be the highest quality. Also, the bathrooms are located all the way in the back, and there isn't enough signage to guide you there easily. Overall, it has a lot of charm and a great location, but the customer experience could definitely be improved.

Oh, and my favorite drink is the turmeric ginger infusion. Yes I know it's probably just something I could buy and make myself, but the point is that I don't have to do that -- I can just go to Time Market and have them do it for me! It is very small so keep that in mind. Their outside area is great. If there's an event at the University you might not be able to get a seat, so just have a plan b for that. I also love the grocery area. They have some items here that you can't find anywhere else in town, such as specialty chocolates and certain brands and flavors of ice cream. They also have some basics like produce and meat. It's worth a visit and you can walk to it from both the 4th avenue area as well as the main gate area.
