Known for the fresh-brewed teas, their Milk Tea is mmm-mmm good, and the devil's in the details.
This location is also a bakery and cafe, and the food is worth sitting for.
If you're like me and you start every day with angst, go for an Avocado Toast to spite the boomers. It's the real reason we millennials can't afford houses. Crusty bread smeared with ripe avocado topped with a fresh feta salad, to be consumed with caution. Too many of these and Crema Bakery will claim your condo.
I rarely order omelettes, but I actually love this Truffle Mushroom Omelette. It's made Japanese-style with a thin outer sheet of egg that unfolds into a fluffy almost-pudding inside. The mushrooms are perfect, and the truffle flavor is present but not in your face.
The Mochiko Chicken Sandwich keeps crispy, even in a car, and it's a good balance of chicken, slaw, and mayo between slices of toasted brioche. A solid chicken sandwich to scratch your itch for a chicken sandwich.
My favorite Crema concept is their Croffle. Croissant dough in a waffle iron with sweet sauces for dips. Vanilla is good, salted caramel is great, but they're definitely better together.
I can't leave without my Macarons, one in every flavor that isn't sold out. Earl Grey is great, Rose Water is delicate, but tbh, I have no idea what it's supposed to taste like. Sea Salt Caramel is my fave - the caramel is strong. Pistachio is slightly nutty, and Vanilla and Green Tea are as you'd expect.
It's a real cafe here, with wooden tables and shelves of books. Quiet time with your laptop is a luxury, especially when there's good food for fuel. Chatting over reasonably-priced breakfast and brunch makes it a reasonable meet-up for friends with a budget. I don't think I'd consistently choose Crema again over all the other amazing options around, but hat's more about the surrounding Vietnamese food than the quality of this lovely cafe.
