Crema on Fayetteville is a relaxing, friendly coffee shop that also serves amazingly delicious ice cream and lunch (soups, salads, sandwiches). The owner has some really terrific ideas about innovative latte flavors. My current favorite is coconut-almond. The lunch menu changes everyday so you will never get bored with the selection. And, it is only a short walk away from many downtown Raleigh offices. It's perfectly located on Fayetteville St. to park in the parking garage and then grab coffee and a muffin or bagel on your way to work. The coffee will definitely keep you coming back for that morning/afternoon/evening pick-me-up. The lively jazz music that is almost always playing adds to the ambience as does the artwork by local artists displayed throughout the store. I never go downtown without stopping at Crema!
Pros: relaxing atmosphere, friendly owners/staff, comfy chairs, everchanging artwork
