First time experience! This Crema Coffee is attached to Pier 402. You must order at front first, then sit and your food will be served (if you’re ordering lunch). I got the oyster po boy! It was very yummy, the bread was crunch and soft (perfect), there were 5 oysters in the sandwich. I also tried their cherry danish and red velvet white mocha latte ..also good but probably much better if I had gotten the danish baked fresh. There’s not much parking but wasn’t a problem finding parking when I arrived! Cute, chill vibes inside! Def somewhere I’d go often to work from if it were closer to me.

Great coffee. Usually not busy in the morning. We go there on Friday morning and can find parking right Infront of the store. Nice ambience. The vegetarian egg sandwich is really tasty 😋

This review is solely for coffee. The cold brew was so bitter that it is clear that the beans are subpar.

Good coffee, good ambiance and good pastry section. Although we were not able to have pastries due to fasting reasons we enjoyed their double cappuccino. As per the price, it would have been nice to have it in a medium/ big size cup.

Wow! I am so glad I found this place! Crema coffee is wonderful!! The coffee is DELICIOUS! The atmosphere is wonderful. Friendly service!! AND they go above and beyond! They make all of their sandwiches here and I don’t eat meat- so they suggested some incredible things. My sandwich was absolutely delicious!! Yay! Thank you so much for everything!! I can’t wait to come back!!

Nice new locationMany of the photos here show the old location. The new cafe shares a space with Seafood Oyster bar. Coffee good. Lots of seating inside and out.

A welcoming space with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Good coffee (brewed, espressos, lattes, etc.).

Great spot for a mocha. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Best Cafe in San Jose. If you’re looking for a delicious pastry with an incredible cup of coffee and a warm smile, then this is your spot.

One of the best coffee shops in town with abundant seating. They had a good collection of coffee in a good price range. They do have the coffee grinding machine in store. The employees are very friendly and very quick service. They do have a cute seating space available outdoors. They even have a good collection of bakery items. The only drawback is parking, only street parking.

Decent coffee place. Good Smoothie. Great space to hangout and chat with friends. Both indoor and outdoor seating is great. Weird that this location has a seafood restaurant alongside the coffee spot. Good parking on right side of the building.

The first time I went, I fell in love with this adorable coffee shop and its employees. My grilled cheese and asparagus sandwich was delicious, and they have great coffee and bagel sandwiches. Whenever we have the opportunity, we go there. Its immaculate, well-run, and staffed by truly kind people!

First up dont call yourself roasting company if you just serve run of the mill lattes, Expresso and morning brewed coffee. The cafe food is also underwhelming, server served a croissant after microwaving it to a bumbling hot goo filed with chocolate, so bad! Ambience is decent I guess and quiet.

I am the type of person who enjoys spending time in a coffee shop, and this one surpasses my expectations! They offer delectable coffee, pastries, and food! The atmosphere in the coffee shop is also very relaxing! Strongly recommended!

This place is a great spot for coffee lovers. There is a wide range of coffees available with a tasty range of accompanying slices and cakes. The music is a nice volume as well, youd really feel relaxed, and struggling to hear them talk. They really know how to make one of the very best coffees. The coffee is so full-bodied and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Very satisfied with my latte (better than Starbucks) and the blueberry scone was delicious. Sitting area seemed very spacious, not sure if they share some of the table spaces with another restaurant (restaurant was closed when I was there).

Just went there - there was nobody at the counter, looked like it was understaffed. I went in front of the kitchen to catch someone’s eye and then a guy wearing a cap told me to wait at the counter. So waited for 5 min again and another person queued behind me, also seeming restless and asking me if they are even serving. So I walked in the direction of the kitchen again. The same guy in cap spoke very rudely this time and started explaining the concept of a counter to me. He was probably having a bad day. But if you’re looking for a quick pit stop to get coffee, go to a Starbucks. That’s what I ended up doing.

Impossible not to love this place. Outstanding coffee, great space for working or hanging out. Excellent service. Good food. Convenient location. A really great place for breakfast or a break.

It really doesnt live up to the name, the espresso had no crema and was super over extracted very bitter. Baristas are super nice tho and ready to help

Only giving 1 star review because of WI-FI. It’s slow and laggy. Only 5 people In the shop. Otherwise friendly place.

My boyfriend and I just love the spot. This is a place where everybody is friendly and social. We really loved the team members because they really make sure youre comfortable and have a real honesty in their way of preparing your cup of coffee. Weve had a wonderful time here!

They serve breakfast and lunch! I will come back and recommend the place to my friends.

Good atmosphere for studying/hanging out, good coffee & pastries. BUT there’s no outlets for charging laptops. ☹️

Its either got what your looking for it it doesnt. This location seems to be consistently stocked. It shares its location with the seafood restaurant.

If you are looking for a coffee shop and cakes, this is the place to be! It offers free wifi and also has a smoking facility inside the venue (if youre a smoker). The staff/waiters are always very helpful and bubbly. The coffee was on point, and the food was excellent. It is well priced and a nice atmosphere.

The orange mocha was no taste..neither orange n nor even mocha. Me n hubby both are having our stomachs upset later eating here..spinach quiche felt like it was there for some days..the avocado toast was cold and uninteresting too..will never revisit..😒😞

Good drinks, nice, quiet, and clean atmosphere, decent selection of snacks and sandwiches. All you need in a cafe.

The cold brew here is great and this place is cozy and great for studying. Pop in some headphones and cram for your next exam!

Really friendly staff, good coffee. Has a really homely atmosphere. Very nice compared to the fast paced Starbucks chain.

Great service, great coffee, and easy parking in the rear.

We picked this spot because one of the best places to get coffee is here. The food is good as well. The workers are professional and polite. With lots of natural light streaming through the large glass windows, the room is stunning, minimalist, clean and airy.

Great coffee and I like the variety! There’s something for everyone here, and a great place to hang out.

This cafe’s asthenic is very nice and the worker herself was very polite when I first came in (even though she took some time to notice me cuz she was on her phone) but I think the cafe’s policies need an upgrade. I’ve been a barista trainer for years so I pay attention to these things. When I walked in there was an espresso shot sitting on the machine’s tray and she poured it into my cup for my latte. When I spoke up and said sorry can you pull a new shot please? Because that one is quite old (you’re supposed to use espresso shots within 30 seconds of being pulled) she did start to pull a new shot but then just poured it into my cup with the old one and pour the milk in before I could stop her... Pretty disappointed 😞

The waiters and waitresses were all very attractive, friendly and professional. The way they deal with clients like me, I have honestly amused myself. There was a really good view of the place overlooking the whole city. It was refreshing, amazing, and lovely. Oh thank you!

We checked out this cute looking coffee shop on The Alameda in San Jose, CA when we were visiting the area recently. It had a lovely sunny patio out the front. We gave it a big miss because their other location up the street served us lousy lattes.

Great place either you just want to hangout with friends or read.

Delicious bout a cappuccino for me, and a few drinks for coworkers and my coworkers liked them as well.

Had a really bad experience with every dish I ordered. Coffee had too much milk despite ordering one with an extra shot, and was piping hot, more than normal. The chocolate croissant was the worst Ive had - it wasnt well done and could taste the dough inside - giving me the impression that it wasnt bakery made but a few days stale even.

Cute place, clean and my cafe latte was perfection! Pastries are fresh as well . I think I might have found my new favorite spot for coffee.

Great 1st experience, it didnt hurt that my son Joshua served me. Congratulations on your new job!

Actually I went to peir 402 for the best fish and chips and yes I give it a 5 you gotta try this place see for yourselves. Really good

Ah i love la crema. The one on almaden and race. The coffee is great and both spots are situated in quaint areas with outdoor seating. They have pastries, muffins etc. If thats your thing.

When I was about to enter, the staff greeted me enthusiastically and it made me more comfortable especially I am new here. They also provided me with books to read while enjoying the heavenly taste of the coffee. I liked the flavor that I chose for it was soothing my mind. I do believe that drinking coffee is one way of calming your soul. If you dont believe me, just try and feel it!

The Borgia mocha was awfully sweet that I just couldnt go beyond a few sips. The muffin was dry and tastes stale. Overall a bad experience..

A very cozy place with free Wi-Fi and their foods and coffees are all affordable. The place is very quiet and the ambiance is perfect for students and those who just wanna hang out. This is my preferred place when I need some time. I really loved the place. Thank you!

Their iced latte has strong coffee taste, which is great for me!! A lot of sitting space inside & outside.

This was my 1st time at this new Crema location. I definitely prefer the other Crema on Alameda, because its bigger and has more employees.

Crema Coffee Roasting Company is a true gem! I am so happy to have them serving up great coffee with a smile every morning! Their lattes and seasonal lattes are my absolute favorite! They also make their own almond cashew milk which is incredibly delicious.

Great coffee, lots of outdoor seating, dog friendly

If you are looking for a good coffee over a conversation with someone special, this is the place to be. The staff was friendly and I must say they are all young and good looking.

Great old school neighborhood coffee, safe outside seating, awesome coffee and treats

Love this shop. Great coffee, amazing staff, and tasty food.👍

This new location is great! Hours on Google Map is incorrect (as of 02/10). I wish they had more natural light upstairs. But overall this is one of my favorite coffee shops in San Jose!

Great breakfast sammich

Super quick service, friendly staff, flavorful coffee and delicious food! (I highly recommend the veggie breakfast sandwich) I would definitely come back here again : )

This is my weekend go to!! For coffee. Fresh danishes. Breakfast etc etc. Friendly staff and service.

Sad to see one of our favorite coffee shops to close down. 😞They have another location close by, which we discovered today. It seemed bigger, with more eating options.

The Google maps showed it was open but no coffee

Staff is always timely even when they have a full house. Ill return with my friends. This place has a cool atmosphere.

Food was so delicious. The service was helpful and kind. Makes me feel like I am back in Sacramento.

Small family business...only 3 locations and this was the best. Beans roasted daily. Great atmosphere very comfortable for all on the patio or inside. Quality food and drinks with excellent baristas on staff. Open Mike night is cool. Open till 8PM daily.

Nice ambienceNice tasteParking is easy

Moderately expensive drinks with a limited menu and baked goods, Crema offers a quaint and comfortable atmosphere to study or meet with colleagues and enjoy some hot or cold drinks. Theres plenty of seating indoors and out but only a handful of electrical outlets to plug in, so its best to arrive before or after lunch & the evening rush to get a good spot. Bonus points for close 3 hour parking near by. Id recommend the Iced Mocha or or the Almond Royal for something sweeter.

Was looking for a coffee shop near 16th street mission and came across this place. It has a rustic, hipster feel to it which I absolutely love. It gets pretty crowded in here so luckily I got a seat when I came in.

Love this place. Family owned, super friendly staff, delicious coffee and breakfast options too. I come here at least once a week, good place to relax also.

Nice large coffee place. Interior is very nice and warm feel. Plain wood table made out of a full natural wood plank. Art on wall. Ample seating outside with nice terrace. Can buy whole beans inside. Roasting machine on display inside.

This place works if you are around. Wouldnt go out of my way to go here though. Its a step above Starbucks.Pros: good variety of pastries, breakfast/lunch items, and drinks. A nice place to have something sugary. Prices are good.Cons: coffee cake was clearly a little stale and dry despite showing up early in the morning. Latte wasnt made very well (a large amount of foam) and tasted off balance, made too hot. I added an extra shot and it still tasted like it was a single shot.Overall not a big fan. If you want a good well prepared latte you are better off heading downtown to B2 and some of the other shops in that area. But this place works and their sugary drinks look really good.

Ive been coming here for a long time and it pleases me to know they were and still very proactive on making sure I got my order ASAP. They went as far as to take my order and checked the front patio incase Ive forgotten to check on my order.They finished my to go order fairly quickly and I shouldve notified the barista Id step aside to use the restroom (sorry guys). But just wanted to highlight their great friendly and attentive customer service. Keep it up guys!

Tasty Espresso and fast, friendly service.

Super good coffee, love it

The iced coffees we got were good, but the hot food I ordered was still cold in the middle. The real standout reason was the mood of the staff, though. No one seemed very happy to be there, and it was reflected in the quality of the food. Sadly, we dont plan to go back.

Great place where you can get some work done. The tables are large and you can find a bit of privacy. The drinks are good and pastries are even better.

Got the iced caramel macchiato and was disappointed I couldn’t get a small size since it was iced so I had to get a medium. My drink came with lots of coffee on top of the lid so I had to soak it up with napkins before I was able to drink it. The barista was not friendly and seemed like he hated his job. On the bright side, the ambiance is wonderful for studying or just hanging out and the my drink was pretty good.

Better than these coffee giant chains. Calm, cozy Ambience. Good range of traditional flavours and few special flavors. Had great time

Delicious coffee, fresh beans, and a neat space.

Great coffee and treats! With a small cluster of couches, comfy high-backed chairs, and plenty of cozy study tables, this non-corporate neighborhood cafe is a dying breed. The interiors dark wood and rich colors are warm and inviting, and the large outdoor seating area makes for a great spot to people watch. Perhaps a little more pricy than the corporate chains, but well worth it.

I really loved this place. Service is consistently above par. The place has an awesome atmosphere.

The hospitality is always awesome. But the service was a little slower than normal due to a new guy at the works. We all have to start some where. I love this cafe and to have many memories.

I think my expectations were too high based on the reviews. This place is solidly mediocre for coffee. Their latte was bland and I bought a lb of coffee, which has become my only drink in case of emergency stash. They do have a lot of seating and a nice vibe, so it would be a good place to hang out or enjoy a lazy morning.

Had to follow the hype and visited on a Saturday afternoon for a birthday cake latte. I havent had coffee for the longest time but figured Id make an exception just this once.

I live down the street from this coffee shop and I got to say this place is absolutely amazing! They have an amazing staff theyre always busy they serve great coffee plus food to snack on.The only downside to this location that has for people who dont live in the area is that parking it is very difficult to catch a spot. But noticing the people who come here are locals around the area.

Great spot for coffee and much more: perfect coffee: Im a latte addicted, meaning I expect good creamy milk and good coffee taste in it. And Crema has it! Next to that they have nice pastries and healthy food (nice sandwiches, Quiche) and you can work, chill perfectly in this place. The best in this area! Enjoy 😊

My daily driver pretty much these days.

Crema has two locations on the Alameda within a few blocks of one another. Both have great coffee, decent food, and really wonderful ambience. The owner, June, is someone who was born to take excellent care of customers. Good outdoor and indoor seating at both locations.

Visited for the first time on Saturday. Loved my espresso (delicious coffee) and enjoyed the atmosphere. Very cozy feeling with lots of seating inside and out. Biggest reason I don’t plan to return is because the barista was so rude. There are other places a block away with much better customer service and great coffee, so it’s an easy choice for me.

If you want peace and great coffee you need to try it ! ( salmon bagel 🥯) .

Both the food and drinks at Crema are awesome. I especially love the sandwiches, the California is Classic being my personal favorite. The WiFi works almost all the time, but its not perfect. They also have a wonderful selection of drinks including some very good iced teas with fruit in them. It can get pretty toasty in there on warmer days but for the most part its a great study spot

Arrived at seven, it wasnt crowded. The service was very kind and attentive. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I loved.

I had a specialty tea here and it was good. I had a ton of questions for the guy at the counter so he was really patient in answering all my questions as to how the teas are prepared. I asked for a light and not so sweet tea so he prepared it to my liking. I would come back if I were in the area. Seems like a good place to work on the laptop.

Good chai tea and coffees. Love the college town vibe. Pleasant and comfortable place for meetings or just relaxing

Nice place. Not exactly friendly staff. Good coffee. Fun atmosphere. Addictive coffee smell. One of the cleanest bathrooms youll ever go into.

While I was homeless they let me sit in the lobby for awhile in the winter and never asked me to buy anything or for me to leave. A kind lady had paid a waitress and told her to let me choose any food item I wanted (because I had refused the cash the lady had tried to give me) and the waitress was nice enough not to just keep the cash, but when I had gone outside to sit at a table she came out and told me the truth and let me pick something to have for breakfast. :) Nothing but good experiences there. They also gave me water for free and were very polite about it when I was obviously homeless.

My experience here was pleasant, the workers were helpful when I didnt know what to order. I originally wanted the Eggplant panini but the apparently stop serving those at a certain time. Nonetheless I ordered the veggie sandwich and it was decent. the ambiance is calm, perfect for studying. Will likely be coming back again!

I really enjoy going to grab a blended ice coffee in the morning and sitting outside. The days are warm and the sitting outside under the shade of tree and reading is very enjoyable. And whenever i need to charge my laptop i can do so inside or out. A convenient parking lot is located near by.

Very nice staff!

The Black Velvet Mocha was quite exceptional! New favorite place in San Jose :)

Staff is amazing and welcoming. The atmosphere is easy going. Many hard working students here. Pastries and coffee are delicious. Recommend stooping in for a nice mornning, afternoon, or evening coffee and good company.

They dont know my name but they know my face and they always take care of me. I feel like a guest at someones bed and breakfast. I have my own space and yummy food near by as I work or read. Im super productive and chill there. I feel safe and comfortable.

Great place, perfect coffee. And the right atmosphere to get work done.The workers here are so helpful And attentive.I like this place. Would recommend it.

Pretty relaxed coffee shop with tons of seating on the Alameda. Iced latte was well made.
