Crema Shop

CREMA Shop was officially established in October of 2018 in Chicago. A one-person business, it was originally intended to offer coffee based, small batch, handcrafted bath and body products. It continued growing into a coffee brand and with that growth came the many partnerships with other small businesses, including tea companies. In mid-2020, I took a pretty big risk and leased a space in the Sheridan Park area of the Uptown neighborhood in Chicago, my neighborhood. Located on the corner of Wilson Avenue and Dover Street, this space was in the works for a while, with the intention of making it CREMA's brick-and-mortar and expand the business into a coffee shop operation. A goal of mine is to have a brand that focuses in a transparent, affordable coffee experience within a space where everyone is welcome and feels safe. A brand that allows me to share a bit of my culture while I learn from others.
