Hear from our valued guests
Stopped here for lunch. They had a few tables available outside and plenty of tables inside. You order your food at the counter and then they bring it out to you. Our food was plentiful and hot. The fruit was very fresh.
Yeah. You'll read 5 reviews before choosing where to eat. I was driving through on 90 and decided to stop for breakfast. It's worth the drive. I had the salad with scrambled eggs. Kids had the parfait and smoothies.
Ordered an Artimelt (artichoke sandwich) and The Roman (zucchini and red pepper sandwich) via the Toast app. The food was done on time when we picked it up. Both sandwiches were delicious and tasty. Really liked the chili lime chips that came with them! We would definitely return to try more. Perhaps something from the breakfast menu!
I did a pickup order and had the breakfast sandwich and a caramel latte. The cheddar herb cream cheese really made the sandwich! Delicious! I should've just ordered a standard latte because I didn't much care for the caramel flavoring. Ordering online was super fast. They quoted 25 minutes but it was ready (notified via text) in about 5 minutes. They have a separate area for pickup so you don't have to wait in line to pickup your food. Would love to come back and try some other items next time!
Easily the best Breakfast sandwich I have EVER had! A welcoming, clean environment with soft calming music in the background. Great coffee selections and a friendly staff! I can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu!
We had a great time at brunch. It was busy - it seems popular with young families. We had the daily scramble and the blueberry basil waffle special, and both were excellent. The waffle was especially impressive with house made berry compote and flavored whipped butter. Overall this place seems quite a high value for the price point. They have very efficient counter service and a laid back atmosphere. Casual or even workout clothes for right in. The space is brightly lit and cheery.
Wow, what a great breakfast experience. The daily scrambler today was amazing. Super tasty and unique. Their donut muffins are really tasty as well and just the right size. Awesome customer service. My second visit in the last 3 days. I will certainly be back soon.
I've visited Crema Cafe a few times and it's always great. The cozy little space is perfect for a lunch with a friend or to work solo. They make a dang good chai latte. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Gobbler and it was delicious. The food was delivered very fast and the Crema staff are always so friendly. If you're in the Monona area, it's definitely worth checking out!
Great service, delicious coffee and I had the scramble of the day I think it was called, very good! The atmosphere is bright and clean but nothing exceptional. The food and drinks are wonderful and the service was great!
This place is amazing! Was extremely packed at 9 AM on a Friday. Pictured below are the Blueberry Oatcakes, the Breakfast Burger, and the Breakfast Sandwich. All three dishes were absolutely delicious! It was my first time having blueberry oatcakes, and they really hit the spot! Absolutely mouth-watering and full of flavor. Will definitely be coming back to this establishment!
