Crema Coffee Roasters

Attentive staff and solid caffeine options. Easy free parking with the first 90 minutes free. They’re a zero-waste coffee roaster and roast their own beans. The bright space has a front porch with excellent views of the downtown skyline. Can get busy, but the line moves quickly. Worth a stop if you’re in the area ☕️

This place has great atmosphere with tons of seating. It’s an easy place to settle in and spend some time. The pour-over was excellent. It was well balanced, smooth, and properly extracted. One of the better pour overs I’ve had. My only downside. I ordered it “for here” and it was still served in a paper cup. At $8 that’s not ideal presentation for a pour over and takes away from an otherwise great experience. Still very much worth a visit.

Crema has great drinks! In my opinion, the best lattes etc. in Nashville for several reasons. The espresso has a distinct and smooth flavor. The drinks are always consistently good, which is not true for a lot of shops. The menu has all the classics and is not trying to do too much. 10/10. Their La Marzocco machine has produced 4,000,000 shots and counting… need I say more :)

I really love everything about this café! The interior is so inviting, and the atmosphere just makes you want to stay a while. It’s the kind of spot that’s perfect for brunch, coffee, or just a quick snack when you need a little pick-me-up. And I have to say—the avocado toast is incredible. Creamy, perfectly seasoned, and topped just right. Every bite is a little delicious moment. I’ll be back soon because it’s that kind of place you don’t just visit once—you keep coming back for the food and the vibe. If you’re local or in town for a visit, don’t miss it. It’s cozy, tasty, and the kind of café that makes you feel instantly welcome.

I bought the 2 lb bag and was disappointed with the overall bean quality. The roast is visibly inconsistent with a wide mix of lighter and darker beans in the same batch, which suggests poor roast control and usually leads to uneven flavor. I also noticed several defective beans that appear chipped, misshapen, or rough, pointing to weak sorting and lower grade green coffee. The beans look dull and irregular rather than clean and uniform, which is not what you would expect at this price point. For a premium priced bag, the visible defects, lack of uniformity, and inconsistent roast quality make the product feel below standard and not representative of high quality specialty coffee
