This place is a Minnesota Gem!. Where do I start? This place has been Fabulous from the time they opened --15 years ago(?). They have been buying local and organic since they opened and stayed the course. The breakfast and dinner get my highest rating, they use the best coffee and make Sonny's award winning ice cream and sorbet on premises. The summer patio is the prettiest I've seen in the entire world, there's candlelight, wine, romance, all of it...

Oh, and it appears that the same crazy person reviewed Crema a couple years back (6 times on the same day) and gave he staff a bad rating. The staff rocks!

Amazing place, wonderful atmosphere, great food and service. I have seen a lot of complaints about the service, but maybe they have changed staff since then? I moved about 6 months ago to just a block away from this place. Needless to say, I have been in there many, many times and have NEVER had one single issue with service or the staff. They are always overly friendly and extremely helpful and nice. ALWAYS! By now I am sure I have met the entire staff that works there. I also have never had a meal that I didn't like! All the food is absolutely delicious and a great place to bring friends and family. My grandmother fell in love with this place, as have many others I have brought. I have no complaints other than it tends to have some weird hours at times, so it might be worth giving them a call to see if they are open before making the trek there.

Best patio in Twin Cities. Whenever I want to treat myself and pretend I'm in Europe, I go to Crema. The surroundings are beautiful and casual. The ice cream is an experience in smoothness. I'm not sure why others have said the help is sub-par. I've always been treated great and I often go alone. It is a more casual place; don't expect a lot of attention. You order at the counter and the food is brought to you but that's about it. More than enough in such a small place with, oftentimes, only one person staffing it. I love Crema and hope they're around for a long, long time!

European Romance in the Twin Cities. I have been nothing but impressed with this place! The food is fresh and absolutely wonderful and the service staff is always helpful. My boyfriend and I have deemed this "our place" and we try to go there once a week. Some of the ice cream flavors seem off-the-wall but have amazing flavor without being over the top (the Organic celery sorbet was a personal fave!) The patio feels like you are sitting at a cafe in Italy and is a great escape w/ a glass of fair trade/organic wine. Definitely check this place out. Those who are giving it all 1 star and saying that the service was poor all signed in on the same day. Coincidence? Or a bitter customer trying to sabotage the rating. Give it a try!

Friendly and Tasty. 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.
