Roasted Fresh, Served Right on Race Street

San Jose's neighborhood coffee roaster where every cup is crafted with intention, open seven days a week.

About Us

Crema Coffee Roasting Company has earned its place at 238 Race St the old-fashioned way: by taking coffee seriously. With over 700 customer reviews and a loyal following built cup by cup, this is the kind of café that becomes part of your weekly rhythm. The warm, unhurried atmosphere makes it equally suited for a focused work session, a slow Saturday morning, or catching up with someone you've been meaning to see.

The roasting program is the backbone of everything here. Rather than sourcing pre-roasted beans from a warehouse, Crema keeps the process close, which means the coffee in your cup reflects genuine craft and attention to quality. That commitment shows in the depth of flavor that regulars keep coming back for.

Located in the Willow Glen-adjacent stretch of San Jose, the café draws a mix of neighborhood regulars, remote workers, and coffee enthusiasts who know the difference between a good espresso and a great one. Doors open at 7:00 AM every day of the week and stay open until 8:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to make it a habit.

What We Offer

At Crema Coffee Roasting Company, the menu revolves around coffee done right. Expect a range of espresso-based drinks prepared with beans roasted in-house, as well as drip coffee and other café staples crafted for consistency and flavor. The focus is on quality over gimmick, which means each drink is made with the kind of care that actually tastes different.

Beyond the drinks, the café functions as a coffee retail destination where you can bring the experience home. Whether you're stocking up on whole beans or exploring what a roasting-focused shop has to offer, there's more to discover than just what's in the cup.

The space itself is part of the offering. Good seating, a welcoming environment, and hours that run from early morning to evening make Crema a practical choice for meetings, solo work, or simply slowing down. Open Monday through Sunday, 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, it fits into almost any schedule.

"After coming here for 3 years, this is my last time. 2 + years ago it was a terrific place to visit, plenty of pastries, was running efficiently, the coffee was good, and I mean really good. And the pastries were fresh and delicious and pastry. Now the food tastes like kaka..old, dry, tough, and the coffee is worse than a truck stop on death valley side road. Truly not a bakery store and as the coffee taste like a truck stop or gas station, it is just yikes. Service degraded substantially .. person taking order is in and out, no personal attention, pushing customers off so as to do the restaurant work. The shop corner is cluttered with a 100 things forrun down antique store feel; drinks..toys..kettles...bowls..looks like a living room in Kentucky."

"I should’ve checked the reviews before I went to this place. I got a Matcha latte iced and this is the first Matcha I’ve ever had that actually tasted like grass. It had clumpy Matcha particles that I guess the barista didn’t mix the Matcha properly. And whoever said that the matcha is really good in this Google reviews board you are absolutely lying."

"This cafe is attached to a seafood restaurant, so the vibe is not of a typical cafe, but rather large restaurant. On the side, there is plenty of seating, and when I visited, it was pretty empty. Got the cold brew, which was not bad, but neither great. It was pretty mid. Not a bad place if you just want to come and grab a quick coffee. Not sure, I’ll visit this place for a cafe experience."

"A great Vietnamese coffee place. Their service is amicable and their ambience is great. We had only one person and she was multitasking all tables. We got red velvet white mocha coffee (2shot) and Vietnamese coffee. Along with that we got mini beignets and danish pastry. The coffee was super good and I loved the water it was brewed. I got the less sweeter version. The quantity was good enough to fill my appetite. The Vietnamese coffee on the other hand was super refreshing with strong caffeine hint. The pastries were warmed and the beignets were filled with white and milk chocolate. The pastry was crispy on the outside and the almond filling was mouth watering. Overall it was a great experience and I’ll definitely visit again."
