This was a pleasant stop on our way touring the Chicago area. Had a chocolate brioche swirl and spinach feta pastry and enjoyed the nice ambiance inside this cafe. It was busy with some people catching up with old friends, others working and on zoom calls, but it was not overwhelming and instead felt a sense of community. Glad we chose this during our visit! read more

We tried: 1. Torta Del Nonna - pastry cream w a hint of lemon on shortcrust pastry, covered with pine nuts, almonds and powdered sugar 2. Cappuccino 3. Strawberry Gelato in Sugar Cone Torta Del Nonna was a very pleasant, not sweet, well rounded lemon pastry; perfect with my cappuccino which was average. Texturally, Strawberry Gelato felt more like ice cream than gelato but not bad. Service was friendly and helpful. Decent amount of seating inside for small to medium groups. read more

Cute small venue that serves some tasty desserts. Has a very modern interior in a bustling area. If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews) read more

Cafe Creamerie is such a cute little spot in the city -- cozy vibes, bright interior, and a menu loaded with desserts and fun drink options. It's the kind of place that instantly gives you that "treat yourself" feeling. I tried their viral Tiramisu Latte, and honestly, it was just okay for me. The presentation was great, but the drink leaned way too sweet. They mentioned it's made with dark chocolate, but the flavor tasted much closer to milk chocolate, which kind of threw it off. Not bad, just not the depth or bitterness I expected from something labeled "tiramisu." Still, the café itself is adorable, the menu has plenty of variety, and it's a nice spot to chill, chat, or grab a dessert! read more

Came here for dessert after dinner. We got a single scoop of espresso ice cream and a slice of cheesecake. The ice cream was extremely creamy and rich in flavor. However the cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. It was pretty lacking in flavor and had an unusual floral taste to it. They have very limited seating and we were lucky to grab the last available table. Overall a pretty solid dessert place. read more

Social media sent me. Sometimes, influencers can be amazing guides; other times, they're full of... baloney. In my opinion, the only thing Café Crèmerie has going for it is its Instagrammable interior. Since the only thing I post on IG is pictures of my cat, I couldn't care less about how many likes it would get me. Oh, and that really pretty courtyard? It's not theirs, so you're unable to enjoy your coffee and desserts out there. In terms of atmosphere, the interior where one can enjoy their goods is on the smaller side, and during a busier time, it can be hard to find a table. I will give them points for the space being inviting and clean. However, on the flip side, something that detracts from this vibe is the incessant "tling-ding-ding-ding" every time the door opens. Furthermore, for a place this nice, the only forks they have are cheap ones that look like they're sold at a dime store. Finally, if they truly want to be authentic to their European theme, they'd have a water station, rather than requiring guests to ask and then being given something that isn't even cold. Moving on... Now let's talk coffee. On my two visits here, I ordered a Cortado. On the first occasion, they'd made a latte instead. On the second, it was of the appropriate size for a cortado, but still not great, as the coffee notes were too muted for my taste. Next, the cakes. I don't recall the specific details about my first visit, but I can tell you about the Dulce de Leche cheesecake. This one was also not a winner. The consistency was too firm, nor was it rich and velvety as a great cheesecake should be. As for the babycake -- this one was better, with a harder outside shell and a soft, flavorful interior. However, despite being not much larger than a die (as in, singular of dice), it cost $2.50. With all of this, let's discuss the value proposition. The cost of the Cortado, cheesecake, and babycake came out to $18.65. This was after tax, a non-cash fee of 4%, and a service fee to boot (also 4%). That's almost $20 for a small cup of coffee, a cheesecake that might as well have come from a gas station, and a babycake that with some paint could work at a craps table. But hey, you get to make your friends jealous on your social media of choice... until they come here and realize they've been misled. read more

This is a really cute place with multiple drink options and baked goods to choose from. They also have gelato and specialty dessert items. Most of the seating is in the back of the cafe and seems a bit small but it's a nice grab and go spot. The hot chocolate wasn't anything great worth the price tag but it's nice that they're able to add flavors to it if you prefer something else. read more

Nice little coffee shop! They offer a lot of options: coffee, tea, sweet & savory pastries and adult beverages! I ordered a matcha latte. It was about $7 for an 8oz cup which was SO disappointing and comical. The match wasn't blended well which is why I have to rate this place as mediocre. It's tiny and doesn't have enough seating as well. Service was meh. read more

Truly a beautiful coffee shop. The founder was inspired by her trips to Europe to bring similar vibes to Chicago. It wasn't too crowded on a Wednesday afternoon. I got the tiramisu Latte, which was too sweet. I think they just use some Torani syrup. Also, it was kind of pricey for the size ($6.50 for a pretty small cup), and they add a 4% service fee and 4% credit card charge on charge of Chicago's 11% in sales tax, which I don't love. read more

I've been to Café Crèmerie about three or four times to try different desserts. The seating is super limited, with only about four or five small tables, but the interior is stunning and gives major European vibes, especially with the back garden you can see through the window. Honestly, the desserts didn't quite live up to the atmosphere: the red velvet cake and cinnamon roll were dry, the crème brûlée wasn't it, and the tiramisu was just okay. The only reason I kept coming back was because it's such a cute spot. read more

Omg no no no! You can't charge for a gourmet latte and then simply slip a pod in a machine - I came here for hand-crafted not a fancier Keurig. They were also out of drip coffee around 5p. The bakery items looked dried out and not fresh anymore. They benefit from location and being open later than most places still serve coffee, but truly a disappointment. read more

Aesthetic European-style cafe, with beautiful garden views but limited seating. I just wanted a specialty latte because they have monthly special flavors ("Drink of the Month"). The drink flavor for this month was different in-store (banana) than what was on their website (orange crème), so I was disappointed since that's why I came. The drink itself was very light... very light. I don't think it was worth quite the high price. Wait time was not that long. The pastries on display were definitely tempting, too! Looked delicious. I don't think I'd order coffee drinks again, but may give it another try for a pastry and wine during happy hour. read more

This was my first time at Café Crèmerie. I'm usually a big fan of ice cream served in fruit and have tried it at a lot of places, but this one really caught me off guard -- in a bad way. It was super hard and tasted artificial, not fresh at all. I even asked if there was a difference between mine and another one that looked more like pineapple. I politely asked if I could swap it for something else (not a refund), but the woman with pink hair was rude and said I'd have to buy something else entirely. The product was disappointing, but the attitude made it worse. Definitely not the experience I expected. read more

YES YES YES!! Their pistachio cheesecake is legit. From the texture, all the way to the weight of the cheesecake. It was thick and creamy with bits of pistachio nuts, and the flavors wasn't overly sweet but rather very well blended with a main theme of "cheesecake". The crust was also very delicate and not too dry or crusty but it was moist and crumbly. As per request of recommendation from the barista; I got the tiramisu latte and I am not the slightest bit disappointed. I absolutely love it! The sweetness isn't overpowering and the bitterness is just right to create a sort of tiramisu aftertaste. I'd say that the tiramisu adds a cake-like hint of flavor that blends well with the latte. With customer service, it was very easy and chill and overall enjoyable. They were kind and generous with taking my orders. In terms of ambiance, this may just be one of the most memorable cafes I've been too in the USA. It's very beautiful. Sadly, I was a bit in a rush to get my coffee and get to an appointed destination so I didn't take any pictures of the ambiance but I really encourage you to visit this place if you are in town or nearby! All around: very tasty and delightful, not too sweet and not too cheesy. absolutely lovably nostalgic! read more

Cute space! Noise level can be a bit loud because the space itself is small with only a couple tables and seats. It's often a combination of people studying/working or talking with friends. They have WiFi and an individual bathroom - you'll need the key for this. I've ordered a piece of their cake before and it was pretty good. There is a surcharge when paying with a card so try to have cash. read more

The cafe itself is very cute and benefits from a lot of natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We received our order pretty quickly. I started with an affogato, which was decent, though not particularly memorable. The highlight was the Pineapple Ripieni, served in a charming pineapple bowl. While the presentation was adorable, the sorbet was a bit too sweet for my taste. They offered a monthly special latte, but I wish they had more specialty lattes on the menu to choose from. While they did have a variety of desserts available, none of them seemed particularly special or enticing to me. All in all, Cafe Cremerie is a lovely spot to relax, but there is room for improvement in terms of their menu offerings. read more

I came here all the time for a latte/sweets and have never had an issue, but I was given a different order on accident and I didn't notice until I got back to my apartment so when I came back the next day & let them know, they refused to make up for it. I normally wouldn't ask but an oat milk is $7 (shown). A piece of advice to the girl with gold hexagonal glasses (dark hair) - it serves you to be more emotionally understanding with customers so you can keep them; you just lost a valued customer than came here at least twice a week for not valuing my word. + might I add she continued to indirectly ridicule me to her co-worker (I mentioned I had gotten a vanilla latte on accident) & asks her if I had asked for an syrups, although she took my order. Extremely disappointed read more

Saw this place all over Tik Tok a few months ago, and my friend and I had to visit! We shared their lemon gelato, which is literally lemon gelato in a lemon. My friends really didn't like the slimy texture, but I didn't mind it at all. I thought the flavor was great, and it was really tart (just how I like it). I could've eaten this entire gelato by myself. There were a lot of other really delicious-looking pastries, but I couldn't eat any more because this was our 5th treat in a row after having 3 breakfasts in a row. Cafe Cremerie is also a really nice bright cafe, and we saw a few people studying/doing work here. read more

Cute bakery with a small sitting area and bar. I went here with a few friends for happy hour. We split a bottle of Prosecco, pizza, cake and ice cream. The pizza was just average at best.

Overall good experience but a little pricey for dessert given the small portions. read more

I didn't know I needed Cafe Cremerie in my life, but I did. I walked by twice and spotted sorbet and oat milk liqueur and knew I had to stop in. It's so cute inside and appears that it may have additional seating out back in the warmer months, though not sure. Very modern, yet cozy European inspired decor and cute little merch section. I ended up with a boozy passion fruit sorbet "milk" shake (they had oat milk but I opted for it to be made with water) and it was REALLY good. My only regret is not trying the liqueur. If I'm ever back in Chicago I'd 100% go again. read more
