Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar

If only I could give this place more stars!! Crema is the epitome of your go-to local coffee shop. I stayed right around the corner, and I couldn't be happier to have this incredible place so conveniently located near me!! Everyone who works there is so friendly, authentic and genuinely wanting to help you - this is not the norm in super busy place like Brickell, so it feels very special. I've tried many items on their menu, and I've been impressed with the quality of the food and beverages. My absolute favorite is their flavored lattes. For hot summer days has been cold brew with oat milk. Lunch here is also always a great idea!!! I love their greek salad and sandwiches - fresh ingredients and well-balanced ingredients.

As their slogan goes, this is definitely not your average cafe and the 3.9 stars are not fair. Most negative reviews are regarding service, and i suspect its because of covid and being short staffed... but the food quality is amazing. Im Italian and a super foody whom loves to eat. My wife and I ended up going here 3 days in a row because the variety and quality of food was so tasty. Coffee is good and food is great including, which includes breakfast and lunch options. Crema also has a delicious protien shake called the Popeye which may be the best shake/smoothie I've ever had. One of the days we visited Crema they were completely packed but still managed to deliver our food within a timely manner and the service was just fine. Seems like they fixed their service issues and i highly recommend this restaurant.

They’re coffee is hands down the best coffee I’ve had in my days in Miami. Top class espresso and I highly recommend the lavender. The caramel in their caramel latte gives the McDonalds taste which is the only reason I would say that I wasn’t impressed by that. For food, they have all day breakfast. We had the quinoa and and an omelette. I wasn’t so impressed with the omelet and the quinoa was okay at best. It could’ve had more seasoning to it. The egg was bland, needed a tad bit more cook time for sure. The service was eh, I’m glad I’ve now taken more of a tip after receiving service/dining approach. We practically had to go inside and ask for the bill, the box to pack and then again go ask for a bag. They were not that busy either at the time so not sure if it’s a one off situation. Definitely stop by for the coffee, I know I will.

Food is fresh and delicious. You wait in line and order. The only disappointment which I saw with other tables as well. Is my friends salad and smoothie came out and my simple sandwich came out 15 minutes later. Also if you are ordering the keto gluten free bread the portion is way smaller see Pic 3 but even more expensive. For gf sandwiches I wouldn’t recommend here I would do the salad. Place is clean, variety of options and friendly staff but if your coming for a lunch meeting be prepared to wait and not have food all together .

Great for breakfast, brunch or just grabbing a coffee, they have a nice size covered patio. Tried the feta scramble and it was super yummy, will be back.

This self-dubbed “Espresso Bar” was a super cute location. There was a decent amount of seating inside (if you don’t mind being a little close to your neighbors) but they do have quite a bit more outdoor seating. We were staying at a hotel nearby and decided to walk over. It took us about 5 minutes and I’m glad we chose this location, as opposed to the hotel breakfast restaurant. The Espresso Bar was fairly busy when we arrived, but it only took a few minutes to receive our drinks and then just a few more for our food. I ordered the “open face” breakfast sandwich which was a lot of food! It was definitely more than you would get if you ordered a “regular” breakfast sandwich most anywhere else. The eggs were delicious and still had semi-runny yoke - just the way I like it. The bacon was perfectly somewhere between too crunchy and too soft. The sliced baguette underneath was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And last but certainly not least, the aioli hidden between the toppings and the baguette was the best part. After the first bite with the aioli, (it unfortunately wasn’t distributed as much as I would have liked) I kept wanting more. There was a decent amount on the sandwich, it was simply congregated more so on one side than evenly spread all over. For drink I got freshly squeezed orange juice - as one should in Florida - and it was every bit delicious as I wanted it to be. There’s just something about fresh orange juice that tastes like liquid sunshine and makes the day a bit brighter. So, if you happen to be in the area, I highly recommend trying Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar!

The breakfast sandwich was fantastic. And the Peanut Butter Power drink could not have been tastier. I wanted to have everything on the menu. I’ll have to return for sure!!!

Their breakfast of scrambled eggs with turkey and bread was delicious 😋. The European, laid back atmosphere adds to the charm of the place.
