Consistently good coffee, fun latte flavors with great seasonal specials, and really really great baked goods. I've been known to eat a cinnamon roll for lunch every once in a while since it's so large and tasty!

A great spot for coffee and friendly staff! Crema is super supportive of the entire university, which is a bonus. The food is also yummy and I like that they have new, creative offerings often.

The coffee is delicious and the food is okay. Food is overpriced, but in a pinch it will work. The baked goods are amazing. I consider this to be a coffee shop, so I don’t go in looking for a great sandwich. The scones and drip coffee are my favorite. The staff are always very polite.

Margret and Erika not only provide exemplary customer service at this location, but they also make the best drinks on campus. It is such a pleasure to be greeted by them in the morning, regardless of whether they are serving me. They treat everyone with respect and proper attention.

I have been a grad student now for almost four full years. I have relied on Crema's coffee, breakfast and lunch options, and the smiles from the baristas the entire time. Daily "Barista Special" drinks are consistently tasty, the baked goods are always fresh, and prices are reasonable. I go to Crema multiple times a week and always walk away happy.
