Editorial Review for Crema Cafe – by Molly Priesmeyer

In Short
Famous for its Sonny's ice cream, this little European-style café serves up heaping scoops of charm and style. Boasting one of the best boulevard gardens in town, along with an exclusive patio sprinkled with Italian-countryside allure, Crema has an old-world sweetness unlike any Uptown café. Of course, the ice cream here is the real topper. But Crema changed its menu in summer of 2008, and is now serving to-die-for Panini, pastas and pizzas along with an extensive wine and cocktail list. Sit inside and enjoy the cloud-painted ceilings and Verona-inpired décor. Or dine outside in a cozy environment that could melt your heart, but not your scoop of the restaurant's famous crema ice cream.

User Reviews for Crema Cafe

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

07/05/2008 Posted by okie123

This place has great food, wine, atmosphere and of course the BEST ice cream. I think everyone who is complaining about the staff is crazy. I live in the neighborhood and have been there a lot and been treated great every time. The staff is friendly and helpful, people who are picky, bitter and unhappy are the ones complaining about the service.

Pros: organic, tasty, beautiful garden

2 Star Rating: Below Average

Overpriced bad tasting ice cream. Went there and was not impressed at all. 5.95 for two small scoops, I will never return. I read other reviews alot of them seem to be well below average. It seems like they need to work on some things if they dont want everyone to stop going there.
