AMAZING

When my friend showed me the link on the Internet, I thought it was going to be just your typical soup and sandwich place. Woah was I wrong! When you walk into the doors, you are instantly warmed- not by the heat, but the warn atmosphere. The employees behind the counter were REALLY friendly and accommodating. The menu selection was great- different takes on coffee shop classics. I got a salad and my friend got this delicious walnut, goat cheese, and honey sandwich with sweet potato fries. To finish the meal, we ordered a cupcake and hot chocolate. The cupcake was one of the best I've ever had. Crema is one of the best cafes in Cambridge!

• Pros: relaxed atmosphere, great food, nice employees

REVIEW FROM CITYSEARCH's 3BUCKBITES DICTATOR

by LingboLi at Citysearch

(Side note: this is one of my absolute favorite places in Harvard Square) Because breakfast is the most important meal of the day, of course. I'm not one normally for egg sandwiches, but Crema's just may change my mind. The english muffin, first of all, is homemade, putting those Thomas things to shame. After you're done marveling at how soft and flaky the bread is, you detect the pillowy soft layers of egg and gooey melted cheese. I happen to like a healthy dose of chopped scallion and tomato as well. Mmm. Another plus: the cashier was a good sport about the fact I paid her entirely in nickels and dimes. Crema, you get an A on customer service as well as beating egg mcmuffins into the ground. They also bake in-house a delectable array of baked goods, including saucer-sized chocolate chip cookies with the perfect crisp edge to soft middle ratio. (A steal at a dollar and change.)
