3-star might justify based on everything I experienced at this coffee shop today. Its inconspicuous existence (especially the secondary door that is facing Larimer) is quite intriguing. Utilizing the existing brick walls, the interior layout is creative with all sorts of art. Their location is their luckiest part as it consistently draws steady footprints. It thus gets packed in a few seconds. It offers (firstly) coffee based drinks. It does have a kitchen where they make more than just pastries and the like. It's definitely more than a simple coffee shop for sure. Service, however, was quite basic. The lady upfront smiled but hesitantly. She wasn't rude but I simply didn't feel welcome. Hence describing their current customer service system or skills as "good" might fuel their egos (wow, did I really say that?? LOL!!) My quad latte was decent/good. I could have done less espresso shots as it sure was strong or too strong (this wasn't their fault; it was mine.) Yes, in conclusion, the shop can and should refine its service (upping it one more level might draw solid raves from the people). Well. I'm not that distraught by any means so in due time, I might utilize them in the future. read more

loved my cortado made with oat milk and sweet bloom beans. In some ways, i like that they use other roasters beans, in other ways it doesn't really set them apart. They price that they know their stuff by offering specific blends for different methods which i appreciate. location is fun, right across from barcelona wine bar. that being said, parking is a bit hit or miss which can be frustrating. it's all street parking as far as i'm aware. a big strength is the variety of seating, wrapping all the way around to the back and outside to the patio! overall i really enjoyed my experience and will be visiting again. read more

Quality coffee from good baristas that know what they're doing. Good food, and pretty unique in the denver brunch scene with their quiches being the real standout and is always what draws me in light of Denver's competitive brunch and coffee scene's. The vibe reminds me of a college coffee house, its a very strange layout. But its casual, counter service, walk in and find a table kinda place. The main knock is your drinks and food can come at wildly different times, but if you're having a nice slow casual morning or maybe looking for a place to read or study then this is a perfect spot. read more

Cute busy coffee shop in RiNo. I got the burrito and I enjoyed it! It had a nice crunch to the tortilla, and the sauce it came with added some good flavor. read more

Love love LOVE the vibe here and all the art. It's located in RiNo and I loved walking around with my matcha looking at the murals. Having a vegan muffin option was helpful as well. Staff seemed helpful and slightly aloof which TBH I really like at a coffee shop. I'd love to return if I lived in the area! read more

Fantastic food and drinks with a fun, funky, local vibe. They have a top notch pastry selection that sells out quickly, so be sure to go early. They also have a great breakfast all day menu and some solid lunch options too. When I went they had an absolutely bomb Birria grilled cheese, but I unfortunately don't think it's a regular item. Regular item wise, their daily veggie or meat quiche is always great. They also have a rotating tap of new espresso options which is cool. read more

Randomly stopped in here for a coffee & the menu looked so good we stayed for a bit. I was beyond impressed with the flavor palette in the yogurt, I thought it would be a dinky little yogurt & granola, but boy was I wrong. It was delicious!!! The coffee was yummy too, made with thoughtfulness & plenty of customizable options. The ambience was great, we sat outside on the patio. Server was knowledgeable about the menu & helpful to find something GF! read more

Didn't stop for food but had an iced chai latte. It was top tier. Not too sweet, a great combination of spice. I think there was maybe a bit of fresh ginger but not over powering. Great location also nice to walk around the area and enjoy the murals in the neighborhood. Service was great as well. read more

New favorite coffee shop!!! It's awesome. The staff are ALWAYS nice and catchin a vibe there's a few tables inside to work remotely at and a patio outback to chill on if the weather is nice. The breakfast burrito is nice - nothing like super crazy about it - eggs beans cheese and meat but the salsa it came with was nuts. Gotta dunk the burrito in there if you get one!! Cortado was lovely and the nitro cold brew was the best... I've ever had..? Honestly I think so. read more

I LOVE Crema Coffee House! It's my favorite coffee shop in the RiNo neighborhood. They have a great selection of food options, some rotating quiches and some standing bakery items. I typically order an iced chai tea with oat milk and it's delicious. I recently tried the sweet potato waffle and it was incredibly good. The staff is super sweet and helpful if you ask for suggestions. There's plenty of tables inside, and there's also an outside patio (dog friendly!) that's lovely in the warmer months. Parking is all street parking. read more

Crema Coffee House - Sweet Potato Waffle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Needed to kill some time and this was down the street from a shop we were at. Street parking wasn't as easy as it should be in the middle of the week, but we found one. It was short walk and had an hour before they closed. It was pretty quiet, a few people working and some chatters. Small, but cozy place. I wouldn't mind bringing some work here and enjoy the people watching, sip some latte, and work. It was quick and easy with the barista. I had a caramel latte and my friend ordered a juice. Wow, the latte was perfection. It was rich and creamy, bold but not too bold, flavorful and it was the perfect late afternoon latte. I loved it. My friend was jealous, while sipping her fresh juice. I thought of having one also, by I can't cheat on any good latte. Will definitely stop again when I'm in the area! read more

Did not plan to visit or review this place however after grabbing lunch up the street - my friend suggested it for a nice little post lunch pick us up. Really quaint spot - a lot of customers drinking their beverages, relaxing, talking etc. the menu is diverse & has a great selection of things on it - truly I mean there's a beet & goat cheese salad on there! (Another day beet salad - another day!) I ordered a flat white & my friend a latte both were almost literal coffee perfection. Quite literally one of the best flat whites I've had in years. Words won't do it justice. The foam art was a surprise... no time for a picture unfortunately.. but next time! Thank you to the kind & helpful staff & the message at the bottom of the receipt.. Loved! read more

Cute coffee shop with lots of good food options! Partner and I got the sweet potato waffle which was unique and fluffy and delicious. And also shared the meat breakfast burrito. Not my favorite breakfast burrito but the salsa on the side was tasty and went well with it. I also got the fresh juice and I forgot all the ingredients in it but it was definitely fresh and was really good for being a "healthy" juice! read more

Crema is always the de facto standby for coffee in RiNo for me. The blends are smooth and robust! The quiche is the bomb - flakey and light pastry, rich egg custard goodness with whatever filling is on tap that day. The outside patio dining is shady and dog-friendly. It is always fun to crowd and dog-watch there. read more

My favorite coffee shop in RiNo. The people are always so nice and I love the vibe on the inside to catch up with a friend or grind out some work. In addition to awesome coffee, they've got a great food menu. The veggie quiche is my go to! Also if you're feeling healthy, their house made juice is super yummy too. read more

Crema coffee house is so great!! We stumbled upon it a few weeks ago. My boyfriend and I split the chickpea salad and the sandwich they had on special. We weren't really expecting much because we didn't research the place at all, just looking for a quick snack. Boy were we're surprised!! The food was so good. I didn't know which cold brew to get to so the barista let me try each type. I ended up going for the nitro cold brew, which I had never had before. So good!! The ambiance in here is also amazing. We're moving to RiNo in a bit and I'm definitely coming here to WFH or to just hang/read. I loved the wood interior and all the decor. read more

The food and atmosphere here are outstanding! The pastries are over the moon delicious! The coffee is good and strong! The chai is also delicious! The staff has generally been pretty friendly, not everyone is super personable, but they are never rude. This is a very busy shop! If you plan to eat there I would check for a seat before you place your order just so you know if you'll have one or not. The place is filled with beautiful art and flyers for local events. My biggest wish for this location is outdoor seating on the street. It appears they have a back patio but I have never seen anyone use it and am unsure about the status of that. Do not leave without a fresh cookie...seriously. It will melt in your mouth. read more

After living in the area for two plus years, I have finally tried this spot! It's wayyy bigger than I realized. Huge patio and lots of indoor seating. The barista was incredibly friendly. The iced latte was pretty tasty and I love the cute glass they served it in. They have all house made syrups. (Just fyi there isn't a sugar free syrup option!) There is have a much bigger food menu then I expected. I chose the pecan sticky bun today and it was a great sweet treat. I will def be back soon for a remote work day! read more

Very cute coffee shop! Atmosphere is nice even has an outside area. Combo of people studying/working in computers to people going for brunch. They have a variety of food, all looked really good. I got the sweet potato waffle... BOMB. Also got an iced matcha latte nothing special just like a normal one. They had these massive croissant (I did not try but tempered to come back and get one). Only con is pretty pricey, I'm not from the area so a shock when a waffle and matcha latte cost 19 dollars. But overall good place!! read more

This has nothing to do with my rating, but wanted to point out that parking is pretty hard to find around there, so plan ahead. I got there about noon on a Saturday and the line was so long. I would guess I was in line maybe 15 minutes. I wanted a breakfast burrito, but I was too late for that. Picked up a croissant and a lemon cookie and they were both really good. The space is cool with interesting art. read more

Cool hipster hangout that leaves an impression. I enjoyed a pour over with Colombia coffee sourced from North Carolina. Barista was very friendly and from Destin, Florida. I enjoyed a good conversation with her. The music playing in the coffee shop was lively hip-hop music. The food looked good, but I decided not to eat today. I would go back to try. I liked how spacious the coffee shop is with plenty of seating both inside and outside. Prices of coffee were about standard. A very cool neighborhood cafe. read more

When the barista told me my coffee was going to be seven dollars I expected it to be exceptionally good. Unfortunately the latte that was made for me was a watered down atrocity.
