Great coffee. Great food. Nice people. Management needs to schedule people in pairs, because asking one person to run the register and make the food isn’t fair to the staff or the customers.

Stopped by for a latte to go. Staff was friendly. I like the way the wood beams were organized on the ceiling. Plenty of seating.Ordered one of their signature lattes, the honey vanilla latte. The latte exceeded my expectations. Not too sweet. Perfect afternoon drink on a chilly autumn afternoon. Only con is the parking in this area. I was able to grab a spot across the street, but traffic is congested in this area and difficult if you need to circle around.

We stopped here while in Portland last weekend. We stayed at KEX hotel and it was kitty corner from us. I am gluten intolerant so of course, seeing that they had a gluten free banana muffin drew me in! We enjoyed our coffee during our drive up to Seattle. The muffin was moist and tasty! Definitely will come back.

Horrible customer service! As soon as I walked in, Edgar, the barista was overwhelmed and telling us it was going to be a long wait and almost insisting we should go somewhere else. I asked for just a pastry then since it would be much quicker and he refused to help me and made me wait for 20 min because he said “it throws me off”.Do you not go here unless you want horrible customer service and really long wait times.

This place is a calm place to either sit inside or out, while enjoying a refreshing chai tea with vibrant notes of spices and a delicate taste of black tea and honey. The sandwich is perfect for a quick bite but if you have a sweet tooth, they have a variety of pastries. The Barista was very kind and attentive. Would recommend here to study or simply catch up with friends

We were staying close by and had breakfast at this Crema during a recent stay in Portland. Absolutely delicious coffee beverages and pastries. But the real bonus was our barista, Alice, who on the morning we were there was solo in the shop. So friendly, so cool, and an artist to boot. So nice when you can have a incredible food experience alongside an incredible human experience.
I went to Crema and got a kickstart breakfast sandwich and the 4 shots with condensed milk. It was pretty sweet and the quad shot was similar to a Vietnamese coffee. I liked the aesthetic it was pretty busy. The sandwich had brown sugar bacon and was pretty good. Next time I go back I'll just get a plain Iced coffee. I just liked that they had some pretty unique options and it was fun to try something different.

A bit pricey but the food is really filling. Coffee is good and service is fast.

4$ drip coffee was cold-barista gave me lip service about lack of a mask-clearly old coffee and poured the creme for me- basically a cup of milk. Threw it out on the way out. Will not return

Coffee and pastries are great! Ambiance is dismal and has become a hoarders den and they should apply to be on the hit TV show hoarders. If you like coffee in pouring rain then go to Crème because indoor seating is not an option. We need more open doors in Portland not closed ones.

Caramel Sutra was delicious. Kickstart Sandwich was good, hot sauce on the side. They didn't offer indoor dining at this time but would be a nice spot once it reopens. The barista was polite and carried small talk since I was visiting for the first time. Would recommend!
