Unfortunately I had one poor experience to date. - the double espresso wasn’t too bitter and had great flavor - the muffin my son had was dry -the largest issue was the wait for a breakfast wrap, the lady at the front forgot about the breakfast wrap to go for me. We waited 25 minutes with only two customers ahead of us getting coffees. -thank you for your time. When I received it to go, the wrap was grilled nicely on the outside, inside potato’s were cold and mush( darn near baby food). The wrap had no bacon on it and it was lacking the basic salt and pepper. Sadly I had to throw it out. This experience happened on November 18, 2024 at 10:45 am.

An employee went out of her way to bring a playmat and toys to help entertain my little infant son during my visit…such a kind gesture! Thank you for letting this new mom have a much-needed coffee date with her friend!

Wanted to try a new coffee spot, and yeah it’s a no. Cookies were absolutely terrible especially the gluten free ones. Tasted like some chemical powder I’m not sure, my spouse agreed, we couldn’t even finish them after one bite. Iced coffees were fine. Atmosphere was not our style. If you like the second-hand sort of vibe and old/antique maybe you’d like it. Also very disturbing with sounds of people running upstairs, maybe there’s a daycare upstairs not sure? Service was fine, girls were sweet and Maybe there’s other things to enjoy here but just overall based on everything we experienced, won’t return.

I still don't know how I haven't left a review here yet. La Crema Café is an adorable coffee shop in St Albert, worth the while driving across Edmonton for a coffee, snack or lunch. Always loved the vibes here, especially in the summer with the patio they have. Well located too so you can go on a stroll along the river after coffee. Definitely recommend!

La Crema Caffe is a nice quaint get away from the busy Edmonton metropolis. The food was very tasty and affordable. The staff were also very friendly. The atmosphere is a modern country cafe, with an antique flare. It reminded me of cafés I visited in Quebec City. The location gives a small town feeling but is only blocks away from a busy main street. I highly recommend everyone to visit La Crema Caffe if they are in St. Albert.

Very cute and quiet place for a coffee. The decor is genuine and locally made, which gives it an inviting old-time feeling. The mugs are a nice touch. The neighbourhood is welcoming and the perfect place for a stroll if you were to take your coffee to go. I ordered the breakfast wrap which was mediocre, nothing to write home about. That’s the only reason I wouldn’t give it a full 5 starts. Next time I’d like to try the breakfast bagel which seems to be the most popular. The coffee itself tasted great. Bold and well made. Prices are comparable to any other cafe. An extra shot of espresso $1, which is reasonable. I would definitely order again if I’m in the area.

Nice coffee shop in the heart of St Albert. The staff is friendly and courteous. The washroom facilities are clean. At this time there is no dine in due to COVID, only takeout but that will change in time. The ambiance is great. I have come here a few times over the years and and have always enjoyed the the coffee and food.

I ask for a short Italian espresso and I am served a kind of tea in a paper cup. Very bad experience. Calling yourself Crema Caffè and not knowing how to make an espresso is truly ridiculous. Never again

Had the worst customer service experience, the first time I ordered 2 Banana Bread and 2 Coffees, and it was to go order. While waiting for my order , I noticed the person preparing my order he unwrapped the banana bread with bare hands no gloves , and she place them on a dish, when she realized that the order was to go , she picked the bread without gloves and she put it back in the ceran wrap again. And she called my name to get the order. The second Time I just ordered coffee and again the same person she had her fingers in the inside cup .

Food: Ham and cheese quiche: it was very smooth but maybe too smooth. Mellow. Didn t finish it. 1.5/5 Breakfast wrap: relatively easy to make, this one is subpar. 3/5 Drinks: Iced coffee: very very good, despite eating in I was given it in a paper compostable cup which I liked. 4.7/5 Matcha latte: very good, not too sweet which is nice. 4.5/7 Staff: very friendly, brings food out to you. 5/5 Atmosphere: cute cosy little café. 5/5

I loved how she was so kind even when me and my friend arrived there at closing time but she was kind with her words when she said we are closing soon. We also loved the coffees there. Next time I am visiting and trying the breakfast meanu there.

Superb location, nice interior. Unfortunate, the worst coffee I ever had. The dark water served in a cup, without spoon, or saucer wasnt even hot. I do not recommend to visit that place, even if you lost your sense of taste and smell. It think giving that place one star is very generous. Wheelchair accessibility: The door is at the street level.

Went in early to grab a cappuccino and a blueberry muffin. Highlights below: Atmosphere: Chill, good cafe vibe with seating space. Music: n/a Space size: average Service: fantastic, friendly and personable. Food: muffin was homey and flavourful. Cappuccino was good and came in a larger cup. Flavour of the coffee comes through which I prefer. Surroundings: public library close by, cool boutique shops, trail behind library for walking, running or biking. Note Worthy: 2hr free parking, but your probably already know this.

So I haven t been here in 6 years, new owners took over. It wasn t amazing then but I thought I d at least give it a try. I ordered their Tuscan panini and what I was told, I d get tomato basil soup , the soup was minestrone and the panini had TWO slices of sliced turkey and a little pesto and artichokes. It was smaller than my fist. It was half an actual panini. I payed $19 and was left pretty disappointed. Would really work on your portions or pricing.

I usually only go for coffee but my friend enjoyed a lovely meal. Plant based milks are available. The patio is a big hit In the summer. On Saturdays from June to September the farmers market is right in front of it. Parking: Ordinarily parking is available. On Saturdays from June to September parking is hard to find until 3 pm due to the farmers market. But there is a free shuttle available from the St Albert mall. Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level access.

I heard that the business is for sale ,i decided to visit it to try before someone took it over for the 4th or 5th times The food was meh. I ordered a ham croissant sandwich (croissant is grocery quality) with ham and mayo and a honey Italian soda (barely flavored). It was a little pricey compared to the quality The decor is so mediocre, and the service was ok

We met a friend for lunch during the busy farmer s market. Although the outside tables were full there was lots of room inside. I had the spicy tuna sandwich and broccoli soup. Both were delicious. My husband had the cheese ham and artichoke sandwich and peanut butter cheesecake. He is still raving about it. Our friend had the New York cheesecake and loved it. Coffee was great too. I use a wheelchair and the table was high enough for me to roll under. Really appreciated being close to the table for soup! Parking out front was great. Only one handicap parking but much appreciated. We went there at l pm and it wasn t really busy but started to get busier as we sat there. Service was great! Highly recommend this place.

The staff was courteous and the coffee would rival anything that you could buy at 7-11 for less. I bought a grilled cheese pannini. The bread was your typical Dempsters sliced fare. By the time I finally got the sandwich all the moisture had been squeezed from it. The bread was very dry. The cheese was much like the standard marble that you could buy at Sobeys or Safeway. The experience was bland at best. It did not leave me wanting more.

December 23, 2022

I should of took the poor reviews to stay away from there and look elsewhere. My sister orderd before me. We waited a long time for our sandwiches. Mine came first even though she orded first. I was almost done mine when my sisters arrived. She took a bite and had trouble chewing into it. She said its hard I can barely bite into it. So I took it back for her and explained it was to chewy and hard to eat and said sorry to the server. My sister had cancer a few years back and had an organ transplant so she needed to eat with her pills. My sister didnt want to wait a long time for another sandwich so she asked for a refound instead. The server said she couldnt and the sandwich is a waste and didnt belive that I ordered second and recieived my food first and almost ate all of it before my sisters orded arrived. The server said I make it that way and will have to check the camera for proof. (Really?) What happened to customer first. Never going back.

Good drinks, my favourite are the iced London fogs with either rose or lavender syrup in place of the usual vanilla syrup. This place has unique flavours. ONLY place Ive seen in the city (so far) where you can get rose or lavender as flavours. Love it!!! Those flavours should be more popular... Nice environment, friendly, inviting

December 23, 2022

First experience with La Crema was not positive. Our order took way too long to come, food given to us before some of the drinks. When I asked the girl where my sons chocolate milk was, she rudely said she only had two hands. My quiche was cold and wet, obviously frozen. All in all , I would rate 1 out of 5. Will definitely not go back.

I had a panini for lunch and boy was it disappointing. It was small, overpriced, and felt very processed. Essentially felt like I was eating a squished plain hamburger bun with cheap processed package deli meat, one of those artificial cheddar cheese slices and one warm slice of bell pepper.... caprice sandwich you think fresh, tomatoes, basil, salami, mozzarella.... nothing fresh about it. Needless to say I wished I had just gone to booster juice for a panini!

Definitely won t be recommending this place anymore. I come in all the time and today I had to use the washroom first before I ordered (I m pregnant). The owner absolutely ripped into me for it in front of everyone. Horrible customer experience especially considering it s a small local coffee shop.

December 23, 2022

My friend and I visited La Crema Cafe this morning and had an absolutely inexcusable experience. We visited the cafe with every intention of ordering drinks and a meal, and were excited by the prospect, as we have visited La Crema before and enjoyed it very much. La Crema even reposted us on their social media this past Spring, which was lovely! This time around, things were much different. My friend is almost 6 months pregnant and desperately had to use the washroom prior to us ordering. Once she came out, what we believe was the owner (a female behind the counter) absolutely lost it on her for using the facilities. She did not offer an opportunity for us to explain that we were planning to order, or ask about our situation at all. She immediately jumped to the conclusion that we were using her facilities without paying. A simple question would have cleared this up, but instead she lost two excellent, paying customers who will NOT be returning to her establishment. In todays day and age, how are we still not grasping the concept of customer service? I cant forgive this level of incompetence. Do not own a business if you are prepared to chastise good customers. Especially ones who are going through the process of having a child. We all know that this is a tough experience already, and does not require your messiness and misery. Grow up and sell your business if you cannot act like an adult and a courteous business owner. Do not support this garbage.

I like the vibe of the cafe it reminds me of cafes in Europe. Coffee was really good. They have limited gluten free breakfast items but I didnt expect that they would as gluten free items tend to dry out real fast. Dietary restrictions: They have limited gluten free breakfast items. From a business, cost effective point, It makes sense though. Parking: I had no problem finding a parking spot but then again it was early in the day (9 am).

This morning we went to La Crema and it was lovely, we ordered a coffee and a breakfast, my only complaint is that they dont open early enough. My friend and I usually go for a walk and grab a coffee at 8 am but they dont open till 930. I love the vibe in the shop, and the atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and we will be back. Might have to make our walk time a little later in the day!

I love this place! It has a very comfortable atmosphere and very good coffee and snacks. The big difference between here and other coffee shops is the service. The owner is amazing and she always takes time to talk to customers. It is a small business coffee shop and is definitely worth stopping by whether for a date, business meeting or just while enjoying the farmers market during the summer. Take an opportunity to support this wonderful small business!

Great food and exceptional service! I had the chicken BLT sandwich and it was excellent. They have a great selection of high quality tea, a bonus for tea enthusiasts like me. I work in the area and have been to this cafe before and it was not as good as it is now with new management. I will definately be back often!

This place if one of my favorite non-chain places for food. The place is clean, decoration is good and the food is good. The cafes renovation is one big part in how it looks more modern now. My favorites are the creme brulee and the bulgogi panini.

Cute coffee shop in the heart of St. Albert. Friendly staff. Americano was tasty; beans were from Transcend. The carrot cake icing was a little too sweet for me, but overall a nice experience. I will come back to try their wide array of gluten free options.

December 23, 2020

I was disappointed by the decor of the coffee shop , small plant pots on the top the tables with cheap aprons (by the way I visited last year before they renovated , I thought they will improve a little bit the design but nothing was changed ) also there is no respect for social distancing Coffee was Meh , food was just Ok but pricy for this kind of quality They served their cakes in a plastic container that looks very cheap

I visited in the summer and the coffee was not good at all. You need higher quality beans or fresher beans or something. Cozy place otherwise

Visited in September. The coffee was pretty bad the service was good though and the place was clean. I would think about getting better quality beans or something.
