"What a great coffee and breakfast! It was a busy day but we’ve managed to get ourselves a table. Flavors were balanced, meal was amazing. Their selection of coffee beans for latte is AMAZING. I had to bring a small bag for myself to enjoy at home. Best latte I’ve had for z while. Overall, great experience and very kind service. 10/10!!’"

"Crema is my favourite place in whole Lyon. Not just because of the amazing staff and their boss Happy, but also because the atmosphere created within the wonderful pedestrian zone is a really aesthetically gem. Do not let me start about their coffee. I travelled to Florence and I could not enjoy any cappuccino there because of the high standard introduced by Crema. They are the real deal and there is no day where I do not think about their cheesecakes…"

"Food nice, nothing to say, beautiful place a lot of taste, butttt I do expend MONEY working in coffee shops because I do “télétravail”. Inmidiatly I open my pc they came to tell me they allow pc only 30 min. it is “domage” they have only 2 weeks open, and they have already these rules in a small community (let’s be real, croix rousse is not big and it is a town in a city). I wanted to eat there, I drink my coffe and left.."
