La Crema Caffe in St. Albert

Nice little place for a coffee and a work sesh

Beautiful spot in downtown Saint Albert. Desserts and coffee were good!

Love their lattes. And really love the matcha lattes. Kind staff, new owner is doing a great job.

Very good coffee and customer service !

I love stopping here in the morning when visiting the farmers market. The breakfast bagel and London fog are my faves.

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 .

Nice Tuna Sandwich

I enjoy the atmosphere, aesthetic and variety of options. Their lemonade are delicious

Great little coffee shop.

Great place to stop in for coffee and sweet treat. The staff is so friendly and welcoming!

My favorite cafe in St. Albert!

This place is so quaint! Its a nice, quiet place to get a coffee. I got the matcha and it was delicious! The cheesecake was great too. Staff were very kind and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Decent ice coffee but the young lady behind the counter was very cold and rude when I asked questions about the menu. Wouldn t come back

The service was amazing and the nice Vietnamese girl at the front made it an easy and comforting meal after a long hot day. I love how local places like la crema keep their standards high and are executing those standards even in the busiest of days like the farmers market

Beautiful little cafe, very quiet, awesome for a date with friends, family, or loved ones. Food and drinks were great. Music was amazing, every song was a hit.

Cute little cafe, but why the plexiglass dividers? It s 2024, Come on!

Similar experience as most of the other customers. I prefer my coffee full bodied. Atmosphere is nice. Caffe is clean. Staff is pleasant.

Cool corner spot

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

cutest cafe in the world with a nice homey vibe to it! sometimes the baristas draw on your cups which i think is the most adorable touch! would also recommend the london fog with caramel SOOOO good!

We have gone here several times. The decore and atmosphere are great. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and polite. This is going to be a regular destination. Additionally, they have a good sellection of gluten free options.

Has a lovely selection of gluten-free desserts. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free food. Food : 4/5 |

Love the coffee, tea and the experience there.. a very cozy coffee shop.

Great little coffee shop, staff was great. Coffee was awesome

The café totally gives aesthetic vibes. It was my first time there so I asked the lady there to recommend me and she recommended me a coffee perfect to my taste. 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.

Great place. Downtown St Albert

The coconut vanilla chai is incredible, hot or iced! And the ham croissant was *chefs kiss*! One of my fave spots in St. Albert to go for a study break or for a fun coffee date, highly recommend!

5 stars across the board, the best breakfast bagel in town, and you can t beat their great service!

Love the variety of coffees and teas. The quiche and baked goods are excellent.

Very dirty, untidy, dirty dishes

We love this cafe the food and drinks are amazing and never had bad service until today. The young person working the cash and serving food was not a nice person. She was snappy and short tempered with us. I asked for my receipt and she rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath. Just a suggestion, when working in the service industry try to smile and have a kind word.

They served an excellent Chai latte.

Very nice and cozy little shop.

This place is really awesome and I think it will be my new place to come sit and chill. This place totally has a cozy vibe and a very inviting atmosphere, not to mention very clean and friendly staff Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options and celiacs aware

Nice place to grab a coffee and conversation.

Very nice place, food was good so was the service.

Smells so good in there but wasnt a fan of there lattes and it could use a little tlc inside seating area overall amazing service

Great place,

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.

Great lattes! My wife is of the opinion that the gluten free desserts are some of the best. Too bad we live in Calgary.

Im obsessed with the mocha and croissant sandwich. The staff here are super friendly and the atmosphere is great! Nice big windows, cute decor and showcasing local artists. Love it here and I highly recommend! They also have many gluten free options which I appreciate because my sister is celiac and this means we can enjoy La Crema together!

Thanks for such a delicious and fresh pineapple juice

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.

The food was okay. Its good for a quick pick-me-up, but not something Id grab to eat if I was looking for quality, especially for the price. The cafe itself is in a nice location, but the interior is kind of lacking. I wish the seating was more well kept.

Nice place to have a coffee and a bite.

Cute little cafe <3 coffee was good and you get a big cup!

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.

This is my go- to place for a nice quiet chat with a friend, or get some work done. They have amazing coffees, and you must try the breakfast sandwiches!

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

A bit on the pricey side, nonetheless it was good!

What a great little cafe. I will be back.

Such a cute cafe with great food, beverages and friendly service.

Great place to have conversation,coffee.

A clean cafe with a warm atmosphere. The server was very kind and polite, while being clear and friendly. I was very happy to have a gluten free turkey and artichoke grilled cheese sandwich for a good price at a cafe. God bless!

The chai drinks that I ve tried are good, but food can improve. Staff are friendly

Very much enjoyed the vanilla coconut dirty chai. The date square was OK and it was a good size. We had our snack to go but seemed like a cozy place to dine in or sit on the patio.

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.

Parking: Nice place , friendly staff Food

Never enough flavor syrup in coffee.

Really good value for the price. Regular latte is HUGE and change from a 5.

La Crema Caffe is a small coffee shop in St Albert downtown. Went this morning for coffee with a friend. They have a menu with lots to choose from. I got the caramel macchiato and also got London Fog tea. Both in large cups. It s a great place by yourself or with others to enjoy a warm drink. Will definitely be going there again

Best cappuccino

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.

How quaint and perfect! Love local coffee shops!

Great quiche & coffee.

Good banana bread!

A place where the community gets together.

Love this spot. Bright, loads of space, and roasts transcend coffee. Only complain my is it sometimes be a bit cold.

Coconut vanilla Chai latte was amazing!

A comfortable boutique Cafe with amazing food, and wonderful customer service. Try the bagel egg sandwiches and Italian soda!

Yes, I will come back, best coffee Ive had in a while.

Pretty pricey but took my young girls out for lunch and they LOVED it, had cheese broccoli soup and tropical smoothies. I had a very lovely, smooth, well balanced latte. My kids told me to make sure I gave it a review with 5 stars!

Delicious sandwiches.

Clean, quaint and inviting.

Popped into this delightful cafe to grab a lunch! Went with a quiche - broccoli & cheese. One word - yummo. The quiche was a perfect size for lunch, tender pastry where mmmm mmmm cheese meets broccoli! Thanks for the friendly service! It was a pleasure to have visited your charming cafe!

All waitresses are so kind.

We had a great time there sitting outside enjoying the nice weather with our dog. We had a chocolate cake that was one of the best I ve ever had! And coffee was also very good!

Lots of gluten free options. Panini and Italian Soda made my day.

Badly needs some upkeep

Coconut vanilla cia. Wonderful tea.

A consistently pleasurable dining experience; especially after a warm farmers market day. Thank you to the amazing staff!

Cute little Cafè at St Albert.

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

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.

Super friendly staff. Loved the vibes

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!

Nice place to enjoy a coffee and a treat

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.

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.

Worst coffee in my life!!!! Horrible

Great drinks and food, The customer service is amazing and the design of the place is excellent after the renovation

Great atmosphere and enjoyed the quiche and soup and latte. Definitely go back

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).

I ordered a latte and some cookies for my two young kids. I received a latte with two inches of foam!! what a waste of my time and money. Next time I will go to Starbucks.

If youre looking for somewhere neat, clean and a fun atmosphere come check this place out. Food was awesome. Service was quicker than they thought! I was very impressed

We stopped here at the recommendation of a friend. La Crema didnt disappoint! The staff were lovely and the sandwiches were great!

Great little coffee shop in the centre of St. Albert. The space is bright with lots of windows for great people watching. The staff is friendly and efficient.

Amazing food everything was so good. Healthy AND appetizing and lots of different interesting and delicious items and still excellent coffee as well. 5 star Cafe all day.

Ive been here a couple times. Both times the service is horrible. Everyone at the table gets served at different times.they forget orders, they dont6 offer compensation for their mistakes. . Dont give coffee refills or bring cutlery with the meals. When the warmed up pie it was cold in the centre. Youre Youre always running to the front to ask for things tgeh missed.

Was divine..had lavender Italian sodas and bagel with cream cheese...atmosphere was great...

Fresh delicious coffee. And yummy snacks

Amazing service. Great freshly ground coffee. Good atmosphere. Nice people. I will be a regular here.

Quaint little shop! Extremely friendly and helpful staff! Only had drinks but their food selection looked delicious!! Will definitely be back to try!

The latte was as good as promised. Staff super friendly!!

This cafe is so cute, and chic. The food was amazing, the matcha latte was to die for, and it honestly is one of my fav cafes now!

Not good coffee :( I went in for a cappuccino and it was the worst Ive ever had. Small size was 16oz! And it was just watered down espresso with bubbles on the top AND it was sweetened, I didnt ask for that

Very nice and pretty area Delicious food and very nice service

Love the atmosphere, the staff is great, the food is fantastic. Its my favorite place to eat downtown St Albert.

Really nice cafe with a large variety of iced and warm drinks prices similar to Starbucks for reference. They have lots of indoor and outdoor parking as well. If you go on Saturday just be aware that the outdoor farmers market its taking place so parking will be difficult.

Its a great atmosphere with a great cup of coffee. Might not be as quick as your drive thru experiences at other places, but sometimes we gotta slow down and enjoy our time. Also my gluten free friends, they do Pizza!!!!!!!

This was a lovely little spot. We enjoyed the ice cream. I tried the pistachio, salted caramel and mango sorbet. The coffee was good and my daughter loves the handmade products being sold there too. They also had a water bowl for my dog.

Good food, havent tried the coffee yet.

Sooooo delicious! Definitely go here, the food is amazing and the atmosphere inside is really chill and beautiful.

Very good paninis. The croissant looked amazing. And the pizza is beautiful. The desserts are good. Also I had some issue with my toffe oat espresso drink and they not only allow me to try and drink it byt when I was not happy with it they remade me a drink. So I can say the hazelnut espresso drink was delicious. Definitely a good place to hang out and chat.

Love the atmosphere here :) used to come to this place for dates very quaint.

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!

Love love the atmosphere, friendly staff and gluten free paninis are my new favorite

Always have good gluten free treats. I had apple pie.

Nice place to get a coffee and a bite and then a walk in the river valley.

Outstanding experience from the service to the quality of food, coffee and tea. We will be back.

Great friendly service!

Too expensive

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!

Easy parking, good service good food.

Great ambience, great coffee!!!

awesome!

La Crema has new owners, (close to 2 years probably) and they are awesome! Great service and the atmosphere is clean and bright with local art on the wall. And they serve good cafe food and excellent Matcha Lattes! Highly recommended

Great coffee, great service!

Great coffee shop.

Great coffee!

Nice small coffee shop

Great place for coffee, tea, sandwich. Friendly staff.

Ive been coming here for years, fantastic vibes, excellent coffee, snacks and the friendliest baristas. I highly recommend this hidden gem!

Cute little Cafe with a welcoming atmosphere. Staff was polite and the breakfast bagel and cappuccino were delicious.

I had a dirty chai, it was good but pretty weak. Id prefer a little more chai flavour for something that price.

This a cute little café with potential. The owners are pleasant and very welcoming. Clean and presentable.

Great! Locally owned.

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!

A fresh new look on a classic St. Albert cafe. Loving the switch to Transcend coffee too!

Really nice cafe with lots of seating. Lots of traditional hot drinks with specialty coffee flavours as well. The iced white chocolate and blackberry latte was delicious!

Delightful, great place to study

Decent coffee/tea. Good treats. Better than average atmosphere. But overall a bit pricey for the average to good quality.

The line-ups are fierce which corresponds to the wait times.

Cozy. friendly. good ambient

I woke up and i thought of this very tasty Sandwich named Chicken BLT so i went driving to La Crema Caffe and i loved it! The chicken and bacon was so delicious and cheese cake was absolutely amazing! And the table decorations were very beautiful. You will regret it if you never come here!

Great food, perfect patio and amazing people running it. #supportlocal

Very nice decor , gf items and service

Beautiful and neat! Friendly staff and lovely food!

My favourite coffee shop in the city! Such friendly staff and delicious food & drink.

Waited here while our dog was at the groomers. Had a good breakfast menu and friendly staff.

Very delicious and simple meals served with love! I had the matcha latte and was really good. My son ordered the grapefuitade and it was delicious and refreshing! The panini were toast to when visiting St. Albert, dont miss out on stopping by this cute coffee shop.

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.

I sometimes visit this cozy place. The staff is always friendly. I ordered Bulgogi Panini and Alfredo Chicken Pizza today. Pizza dough is gluten-free. The more I chew, the softer and sweeter the texture. It was very delicious!

Great aesthetic, the food and drink is delicious and I highly recommend this cafe.

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.

Good Latte and Cake. Recommend

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

The coffee is always good and the workers are really nice, a great place to sit and chat.

Staff very friendly. Service was great.

I have been going to La Crema for years. It is a downtown St Albert staple. Great breakfast bagel sandwiches,, other sandwiches and wraps. They also have a great selection of deserts and amazing coffee!! I had a cortado with oat milk today and it was perfect.

Beautiful cafe, great service. Breakfast bagel and coffee were delicious and worth the trip.

Very nice staff. Good food and a lot of food options.

Delicious lattes! Awesome, quick, and friendly service. Food was delicious! Love that they have gluten friendly options. Great spot!

Nice cafe in a great location. Pleasant staff and beautiful outdoor setting with beautful sunset

Cute and cozy and DELICIOUS coffee!! I had an eggnog latte with a pump of toffee nut and it might be the best Christmas coffee I ve had. So well made, and the staff and friendly and warm. Support this lovely local business.

It was okay.

Got a turkey breakfast, first time here, it was off the chain

Great menu selection

Excellent coffee excellent ice cream. Thanks for Being open on a Sunday.

Great place

Great service, pretty good coffee and snacks.

..coffee was ok...packaged treats are ok..but not much seems to be made at the cafe

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.
