I was in town visiting my Father and Grandmother. This place harbored me during my 2 weeks and offered me welcome respite from the harsh reminders of my guilt-riddled childhood.
I would order a latte and stay for hours while I read comics, checked my email, and drew in my sketchbook.
The espresso is definitely the best in the area, however I believe that the true charm of Crema comes from it's awesome sandwich menu.
Their Tuscan is nothing short of epicly delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of eating it.
There is tons of seating, and I never felt cramped other than during lunch hour.
If you are staying in the Madison/Monona area, it is definitely a place to stop by and bring your friends.
In my personal opinion, it doesn't stack up to the best coffee I've had, but I liked it more than enough to keep coming back again and again on my trip out to the Midwest.
