Crema & Cream Cafe Bistro + Coffee Lab
Inside Crema & Cream Cafe Bistro + Coffee Lab
Crema & Cream Cafe Bistro + Coffee Lab sits quietly on Timog Avenue, offering a blend of café culture and full dining experience that feels particularly well-suited for those looking to balance casual coffee moments with a more substantial meal. Occupying a generous two-story, industrial-styled space, the café draws in people who appreciate good coffee and thoughtfully prepared food under one roof.
Locals often slip in here for a midday break or a relaxed weekend stop, taking advantage of the café’s focus on quality single-origin beans, which stand out in the crowded coffee scene of Quezon City. The lineup of drinks includes expertly crafted options like Flat Whites and Cortados that coffee enthusiasts will appreciate for their smoothness and balance. The presence of a roastery on-site gives a certain credibility to their brews—those who know their coffee tend to come here for fresh, carefully roasted flavors.
Beyond coffee, the menu stretches into hearty territory with offerings like USDA steak and fries, jerk chicken, and poke bowls, hinting at a kitchen comfortable with diverse tastes. Diners can settle in for a full meal, with the atmosphere on the second floor lending a distinctly urban, understated vibe—good for lingering over a bite or chatting away a couple of hours with friends. Quick service is generally expected but note that some dishes like pasta and pizza can take a bit longer during peak times.
The vibe is relaxed but deliberate, making it an easy spot for a casual meet-up, informal work session, or just some well-needed coffee respite from the bustle nearby. The space is roomy with a quiet energy that fits well for locals who want a calm pause without the noise of crowded main streets. It’s particularly useful for visitors who want both their caffeine fix and a sit-down meal without hopping around to different places.
While the bakery items like croissants and cookies, especially white chocolate pistachio and chocolate chip varieties, earn nods from regulars, the café’s standout feature remains its serious commitment to coffee—selling not just drinks but also beans, encouraging repeat visits from aficionados. Facilities and comfort are mostly straightforward, with bathrooms described as clean and functional, though practical details like tissue dispensers and touch-free exits could be improved.
For anyone passing through Diliman or locals living nearby, Crema & Cream offers a solid balance between coffee craftsmanship and substantial dining, all wrapped in an unpretentious setting that invites lingering without pressure. Early afternoon and early evening visits tend to fit the atmosphere best, whether for a caffeine boost to get through the day or a light dinner paired with a well-pulled coffee.
