Crema Coffee House - Denver, Colorado

Best Breve Latte around

This place is the OG of coffee in the Denver area. I’ve been coming here since 2010 and despite the changes in staff (as any place opened as long should have) the greatness has never lapsed.
The espresso is excellent…they use a combination of different roasters from all over the US. It is rare that you find a coffee shop that produces top quality espresso with house baked goods…I know there are many that try. I applaud them, but none can match what Crema does here.
Their service is quick yet patient. At times there are lines, but the staff handles the rush with efficiency and friendliness.
I have traveled throughout the world and I have not found Crema’s equal. They’re quirky (as you’d expect in a thriving artistic community), skilled, and consistently excellent.

Dear Crema,
Thank you for turning my difficult morning upside down with this lovely latte and breakfast burrito. I can feel the love energy all around in this coffee shop. Bright faces, happy employees, lively customers, and just what I needed to start the day right! ✨

Asked for double chicken. This is the chicken that was in my salad. It was entirely made up of gray, dry, sad, rubbery chunks of what tasted like trash they pulled out of the dumpster. Paid an extra $2 for the additional chicken that was not present and the chicken I did receive wasn’t edible. $20 with tip and I’m still hungry. Very disappointed.

I absolutely loved the first time I set foot in Crema Coffee House, at 2863 Larimer Street. The ambience was magical, with unique and fun murals painted on the brick walls. My mocha was tasty, and the latte art was stunning. And, someone who enjoys watching people come in and out, this place had a variety of traffic.

I went back, today. The inside is still closed to customers, due to the pandemic. But, they were open for business for curbside service. And there is news of them potentially opening back up for indoor service, in the not-too-distant future. Can’t wait!

Some of the indoor shots I’m including, here, are from my visit back in 2019.

EDITED: I’ve gone since September 2021. It’s great to be back at one of my favorite coffee shops in Denver.

The birds mural is new to me, since I hadn’t been inside for over a year.

Crema Coffee House is a nice spot for a good cup of coffee and a satisfying light meal. I visited Crema a couple of times, had a cortado and a cappuccino and both coffee were on point. Crema Coffee carries a variety of local roasters as well as some out-of-state guest roasters.

One standout feature of Crema is its food menu, with great options for both breakfast and lunch, and some rotating specials. I had their quiche during one visit and thought it was tasty and satisfying. The little house salad on the side was a great touch.

The interior of Crema can feel a bit dimly lit, but the entry room has plenty of natural light, and there's a spacious patio in the back where I sat both times to enjoy the fresh air and good weather.

It was cute and cozy inside. Very cool and fresh inside. Plenty of seating. The coffee we asked for was ice coffee. They gave us cold brew. It tasted oddly sweet. Very difficult to drink. Ended up tossing it. Waste of money. Hope their food is better than their coffee.

The breakfast is worth a visit. The meat quiche is amazing. I would show you a photo but it was so good I could not stop to take a photo. Empty plate is all you get.
Quiche comes with a salad with an incredible dressing.
The lattes are fine.
Servers are nice. It was our first visit and we ordered lattes expecting to get hot lattes. We got one hot and one cold. No idea why but they were both good.
