Our next stop was to a garage that got turned into a cafe: Crema.(No, not the same Crema that is on the Alameda.)
The good:
Cozy, open, and clean.
Filled with people SOCIALIZING
rather than being stuck on their computers. :)Stumptown coffee.
A massive 4-group La Marzocco.
The bad:
The cups were bigger than average.The coffee just plain sucks.
Usually I can drink something to be polite, but I really just couldn't, even with a larger than normal macchiato and cappuccino. It was bitter, scorching hot, and the milk was bubbly.
On the upside, it was around time for lunch and I was craving soup which they happened to serve here. Now that was good. I guess this place just focuses more on their food and bakery items.
