Crema Coffee House

This place, is DIFFERENT. I can tell that they care about being unique but also having such an encouraging and uplifting atmosphere. The espresso tasted very handcrafted, the cinnamon roll was incredible and the cortado my fiance got was very tasty! She loved it! More coffee shops should post obvious signs of warning those who make environments toxic and less fun for others. It definitely happens more than you think. We HAVE TO COME BACK!

Central market is this great space with several food and beverage vendors. Inside is Crema coffee. I came for the matcha on my matcha tour. I am only reviewing the matcha. The matcha was not my favorite. I had the ube matcha and to be honest I couldn’t taste the ube. It just tasted like plain old matcha nothing special. Again, another syrup instead of purer or compote. Better stick to the coffee for this place. Service was excellent and did not have to wait long for the matcha. 3/10 would not recommend for matcha.

Lovely spot. The juice is phenomenal, & I loved the espresso plate with a chaser of soda water to refresh! Had a gal gathering here. It was marvelous.

Popular space on Larimer Street with solid coffee and good food. The atmosphere is convivial and well lit. Remote workers beware there are no power outlets for customers, but plenty of spaces to set up your laptop without a need for external power.

Great food. I purchased a cappuccino and the meat sandwich with potato salad. I recommend all options I purchased. Friendly staff and atmosphere. I did not get the waffle but saw others and it looks delicious

Great little coffee shop within walking distance of my Airbnb on Curtis St. Haven't tried their food, but some decent tea choices.

Meat quiche was delicious, fresh juice was delicious, and staff was wonderful and very kind. On a hot day it’s a bit warm in the front room which was great for someone like me who gets cold way too easily. Seemed like the back room was more air conditioned, so there’s a space for everyone. Thank you❤️

Nice shop! A lot of available places to sit very comfy and rustic. Happy with my visit

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.

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!

Amazing lattes and yummy food! I had the yogurt and granola and it was so good. Everyone was friendly and my take out order came out quickly!

One of the best food options for coffee shops in Denver, seating isn't bad, but it can get pretty busy--worth it I'd say

Great place to work from home and study. There is so much seating! The food is SO good. Coffee is good. Service is friendly and fast. Two hour free street parking, you can find some parking with no time limit. Indoor and outdoor seatings, lots of it! Such a vibe

Awesome lattes, great staff, and tasty sandwiches. The vibe is super cool inside, and I love that it's an inclusive place.

This is what a cafe should be...solid baristas that know their craft and show a real professionalism for the customer and their co-workers. The roast is very good and the pastries equally great. What's best though is the space: Natural without attitude or pretentiousness and truly let's you feel at home. Thanks!

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!

Decor and location are only the tip of the iceberg! We had the sweet potato waffle and meat burrito - WOW. The burrito was done on a panini press so it had the perfect crunch. Waffle is a must - may recommend splitting. The staff / hospitality was also amazing - we'll be back!

Great coffee, ok atmosphere, usually friendly service but the quality of the coffee is really the selling point here

Enjoyed the back patio space a lot. Very walkable to other restaurants, shops, bars, etc. Crema was packed but the line did not take long. Enjoyed an iced matcha (not as much flavor as I would have liked but not sweet, which I love) and a bacon cheese croissant. Will be going back when I am in the area.

Stopped by and tried a latte with almond milk. The shop is super cozy with tons of great art. Plenty of spots to settle down and work as well. As for the coffee, it tasted pretty good. No complaints

The customer service was fantastic. I myself have been in the service industry for years so it's hard not to notice, but the cashier was very accommodating, answered all my questions, was super patient explaining the vegetarian options too. I had a half-caf cortado which was strong and bold but super tasty, the foam was the right consistency. The quiche is also one of the best I've had! My sparkling water was flat but that's not their fault lol, overall great place, would def come back again!

Best coffee shop in Denver and I'll die on that hill. The baristas are so friendly, the music slaps, the pastries send me into another dimension, and it's the best coffee I've literally ever had. My favorite way to start the day. Tysm for existing!

Great coffee and fun vibe inside. Nice outdoor patio that's shady and dog friendly. Fast service.

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.

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.

I personally think their regular coffee is rather week. I am a Peet's junky and that shit is rocket fuel...and I like it. Their Chai's and milk based coffees are good. Pairs really well with Izzos pastires. Just sayin

The coffee ad Crema is so good. I loved the neighborhood and had no idea what to expect. I was happy to get a perfectly made oat milk latte. I can't wait for my return to Denver as this will be one of the to-dos on my list.

this is my go to coffee shop living in RiNo. they have a rewards card that they punch for you. obsessed with their veggie quiche and love that it changes all the time. i love it here and i name this the best coffee shop in denver.

Good, reasonably priced coffee. They have a gluten-free sweet potato waffle that looks really good, but I haven't tried it. A decent number of veg options. Nice vibe.

I love this space! The coffee rotates, so if you're choosy about beans, take note... I love the outdoor space and central location. The coffee is good, but the vibe is better...

Crema is a treat! I love to go here either before or after having brunch at Barcelona for coffee. Barcelona doesn't have fancy espresso drinks, so I love that this is right across the way offering a variety of options. The selection of alternative milks is one of my favorite things too. It was so hot the day I went so I grabbed an iced coffee so I could walk around RiNo with my friends. They're pretty quick since they have a number of people working on coffee behind the register. The funniest part for me was watching the barista deciding if he was going to attempt my name or not. The coffee was really good too, which is why I usually find myself here after brunches at Barcelona or when in the area. You can't go wrong!

Awesome coffee shop in the heart of RiNo. There is space to work, read, meet, or just hang out. The staff is very inviting and the coffee is tasty. They have a sister location in the Denver Central Market, also a great place to visit.

An amazing coffee shop/breakfast spot. The food and pastries are great but the quiche.... BEST IN DENVER! And there's always a meat or veggie option. Rotating espresso and coffe for pour overs which are of top quality. Kombucha on tap. Great neighborhood crowd. Super welcoming- a sign indicates consequences for racist behavior.

Great coffee options. Would love to see more variety in sandwiches. Would've loved to see some variety in that bread especially and sides of sandwiches. Even just having a croissant instead of the rolls that they used would have elevated the sandwich to the next level. Overall this place is quite a vibe and the outdoor seating area is very cute. It is an eclectic atmosphere that has a nice homey dive bar sort of feel. Very fun and a cool spot to grab coffee with friends.

I had a matcha latte here and loved it so much! The art inside and outside the establishment is amazing as well! Service was excellent!

Cute neighborhood coffee shop. There are a few seats indoors and outdoors. I am off caffeine at the moment, so I didn't get any coffee but I did get a waffle. It was very tasty and the service was good. They give you a number and then come find you and deliver the food to you.

Such a cool place! From the art on the outside of the building to the interior there is a lot to look at that is pleasing to the eye. Their cold brew is incredibly tasty and well worth the trip for someone who is into high quality coffee. Others in the party had iced americanos which were also reportedly good and my nephew had a huge cinnamon roll that he greatly enjoyed. The service was fast and friendly. Well worth a trip!

Crema is a very chill vibe with a great variety of pastries and food along with great local and outsourced coffee. Service is fast and friendly even with a line and the space is large enough to stay and hangout without feeling crammed. My friend got the breakfast burrito and said it was great! Will go back and update a review once I try some more of the pastries but definitely worth a visit!

Some fun Gluten Free treats and meals. I wanted to try the Waffle but settle on a granola bar. Coffee, juice & bar were delish. Great art work too.

I've been to Crema twice now, both times have had a great experience! Baristas are super friendly and their menu goes beyond just coffee and pastries. Prices are on par with other nice coffee spots in the area (aka gentrified RiNo) and there's space indoors as well as a patio outside for sitting and working. One quirk - there are no outlets available (or none that I found) so make sure your electronics are charged before heading over. Foot + drink-wise, I've enjoyed their chai and the breakfast burrito (I got with meat) is definitely worth waking up for. They have plenty of vegetarian options and I want to come back to try out their sandwiches!

My partner and I are regulars here and even when it's busy in the morning the staff is always kind and the quality of coffee /beverages is always on point. I really like their sport tea or their matcha

Hands down the best coffee shop in Denver . They make a really mean caramel latte and the baked goods are definitely something to call home about. This is an excellent place to stop by and grab a quick. The service is always prompt and friendly and the baked goods are made in house that morning.

Okay, the Sweet Potato Waffle totally lives up to the hype. Ate it so fast, I forgot to take a picture. Don't come here if you're in a rush, especially during lunchtime, because food can take awhile to prepare. They did warn me that they only had one waffle iron, but it gave me more time to chill with my friends. Enjoyed my latte in the meantime. Lots more food options to try in the future. Street parking can be a challenge as always in this neighborhood, but as always, I'm thrilled that Crema seems to be doing well as a business. Poppin' with remote workers all the time!

Went in for a caramel latte, and a chai tea latte both came out quick but tasted really odd. The chai tea smelled and tasted like perfume or cleaning products. While the caramel latte had an ingredient I have never tasted in coffee that was very off putting. Drinks are small and overall was really disappointed by the literal taste of the drinks.

Took 21 visits before I knew they had a punch card program. Was a little peeved no one ever asked me. I found out when they offered the woman in front of me a punch card one day and were super friendly to her, and then when it came to my turn, they just took my order with no fanfare. I guess I shouldn't be surprised...customer service here was hit and miss for me. Sometimes the person behind the counter would be friendly and sometimes you'd get someone who seemed annoyed to help you. Aside from the customer service snafus, I really enjoyed my visits to Crema during the 3 months I lived in Denver. The line could get long some mornings, but they were usually pretty quick to get you your drinks. If you order food with a long line, you might have to wait a while. Their cappuccino is solid as is the cold brew. I got the kombucha once and was underwhelmed. I forget what flavor it was but it didn't taste like that at all. The food here is what really earns the 4 stars. It's rare that coffee shops with such good coffee also serve great savory food options. Both the quiche and breakfast burritos are great choices. If you're looking for a super authentic Mexican breakfast burrito, you'll be disappointed, but put aside those expectations and you'll be happy. Also loved the banh mi and meatball sandwich for lunch. Huge portions - you could definitely share with someone. TLDR- customer service is meh, but great coffee and food.

Crema never disappoints. The almond croissant and sweet potato waffle are decadent. It is pretty loud and bustling so probably not the best place to work if you are looking for low key but great outdoor spot out back.

How have I never visited this coffee shop after spending so much time on Larimer street? You'll recognize the shop by the yellow Don't Tread on Me art work. Looks small from the outside, but theres quite a few tables inside and even a back patio where I saw a few dogs. Would be a nice spot to grab coffee and hop on the laptop for a little. There's wifi available. Parking can get hard, but you can park a few streets down in street residential area. Coffee was yum. Tried the Brasil pour over. Nice fruity notes, not bitter. I haven't tried the food but looks pretty good.

First time and I will NEVER come back. The woman taking my order was rude and annoyed at taking my very simple order. No smile, no good morning, nothing. At 10am, the lack of self awareness on how her energy affects the clients is crazy to me. Bad day? Maybe. But honestly, it's coffee! This is how people start their day. Now for the coffee. They didn't make it correctly the first time. Cool, no biggie. Tastes fine for what it is. Nothing great. Checked in about my food and after they told me it wasn't ready yet, then started making little comments under their breath to each other. Which I could tell was about me. Overall, lousy attitudes from the staff. Which is a shame because I love the neighborhood and the shop could have some really cool vibes if the staff got a major upgrade.

Solid Americano. Meat sandwich was delicious. Vibe is very much liberal/pro LGTBQ (which is fine). There's a sign on the wall saying racists aren't allowed here and the baristas were/are definitely in the "freaks" crowd (also totally fine). Nonetheless, everyone was very friendly and the coffee and food were great! Plenty of room to sit. I didn't see any outlets though for laptops, just FYI. I'd come back!

I love this coffee shop so much. It was my favorite when we lived in Rino, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Whenever we're in Rino on a weekend morning, this is where breakfast is happening. First: the coffee. Well-brewed craft coffee. They always have an excellent flavor on drip, and can make a mean latte with all the speed and style you need to get your caffeine fix! Second: the food. It's so underratedly good. The breakfast burrito is a staple favorite. I get here earlier for breakfast than I used to (#gettingold), but I remember these were so popular they used to sometimes run out before I got my hands on one! The ultimate disappointment. Don't worry - either they upped burrito production or it's my early-rising tendencies, but this doesn't happen anymore. All their other items are great too - quiche, speicialty sandwiches, and even lunch items. Lots to choose from! Third: the service. All the baristas and kitchen staff are so friendly. They're certainly down to business & get you your coffee in a jiffy, but they do it with kindness. During the pandemic too, they've been so conscious of restrictions & respecting others. I've always appreciated this about Crema, and it will continue to encourage me to return.

Ok, this spot was exactly what I was looking for on a recent trip to Denver. I was visiting a friend, but my brain was still on New York time, so I needed something to do bright and early. I'm so thrilled I chose to stop in. The Space: Ok this spot is cool. Awesome murals, great artwork, and a big outdoor patio with great shade. The staff was so friendly and the space was so cozy, if I lived in the area, I'd be a regular. The Goods: Oh man, I'm a sucker for a good cup of coffee and a nosh, and they know what they're doing. I went with a Kenyan pour over and the vegetarian quiche of the day (with asparagus and goat cheese) and your girl was smitten. Location: Oh let me tell you, if you're visiting, this is the area you want to go. There are so many awesome restaurants and breweries, plus the artwork in the area is incredible. I'd recommend anyone come here. Overall: Next time I'm back in Denver, this will easily be one of my first stops.

I've been here twice now and I'm in love. I came here first and tried the fresh juice, amazing. And then I returned to try the vegan banh mi. I'm so happy I did. The seasonal potato salad was not my fave, but that's just my preference. The salad and house made dressing was delicious. The service was positive both times. I felt safe, and welcome and they have created a safe space for all. Additionally, the outside seating is a nice addition.

Great food and coffee. I appreciate that they source from local businesses/farms where possible.

12/10 I will never stop going here and taking friends here. So much good! The food here is better than most restaurants in Denver which I have never been able to say about any coffee shop I've ever been to (and I go to a lot). Check their instagram for their fresh, new specials! And get them early! These things do not last long and for good reason. One of my favorite seasonal specials they have is their elote chicken salad.. so good. They give you a lot of everything in the salad.. tons of chicken, perf amount of dressing on the salad, and their greens are too good and I have no clue why (no skimping in this joint!). I don't even like salad, but I always show up when they have this available. Their veggie breakfast burrito is one of my favorite things and I have been so surprised by it. I don't even know what's going on inside the burrito but the flavors inside and the FREAKING salsa literally blows my mind. I would eat that salsa as soup. I don't even like salsa that much but wow. I really enjoy their chocolate croissant and most all of their bakery items. The sweet potato waffle is amazing if you're looking for something sweet (and it's huge). Love their nitro cold brew/cold brew in general. Lastly the vibes.. the playlists hit every time. Usually I prefer my own music but I have enjoyed their music anytime I'm there. Grungey cute overall in terms of interior. Lots of art on the walls. Love love their back patio area on nice days. Last, the staff/chefs are all very kind and hard working. Thanks Crema!! If you ever visit and there's a line, know it's worth it to stick around. Incredible.

Delish! Stopped in on Saturday mid-morning. The line is daunting but it moves incredibly fast. Got to the front and the baristas were having a great time, the music was vibin' and the case pastries looked fresh. We got 2 oat milk lattes and 2 butter croissants- simple but delicious. Loved the presentation on the drinks. Definitely worth a stop in while roaming the RINO district.

Love the coffee! Super tasty and great ambience, super packed when I was there, that's how you know a place is great

The lattes and baked goods were amazing! The barista wasn't the friendliest, but that is to be expected in a city I guess.
