| Now closed; was a vegetarian and vegan cafe/restaurant in [[Locale New Cross|New Cross]]. The premises were [https://brockleycentral.blogspot.com/2015/02/cafe-cremated.html sold to a new owner] in early 2015, and Cafe Crema itself [http://web.archive.org/web/20160818074632/http://www.eastlondonlines.co.uk/2015/04/new-cross-staple-cafe-crema-closes/ closed in April the same year]. |
<a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Bec">Bec</a> visited this café / restaurant in <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Locale_New_Cross">New Cross</a> late afternoon on 18th November 2008. Weekdays it is usually packed with local Goldsmiths students, today it was busy but there were a few free tables and the atmosphere was more relaxed. |

The information below is retained for historical purposes. |
A basic white coffee and a chocolate brownie came to £2.40. The coffee was fine, the brownie a bit dry and possibly from a Betty Crocker mix, but served as a perfectly cromulent sweet and cheap snack. |

<div class="old_info"> Vegetarian and vegan cafe/restaurant in [[Locale New Cross|New Cross]]. |
Standard coffees / teas / hot chocolate is served, along with some juices. The café is licensed and sells beer and wine. All food and drink is available to take out, with mains costing £4-£6, and smaller lunch standards such as jacket potatoes, toasties and soups from £2-4. <a href="http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/restaurants/café-crema-review-28224.html">View London</a> suggests all food is vegetarian or vegan; however I'm sure I heard an order called out for lamb couscous. I'll have to go back when the black board isn't covered up with the Saturday menu, which I'm guessing is new every week. The vegetables are sourced from an organic farm in Lincolnshire. |

[[Bec]] visited late on a Saturday afternoon in October 2008. Weekdays it is usually packed with local Goldsmiths students, today it was busy but there were a few free tables and the atmosphere was more relaxed. |
They also serve a mix and match all day breakfast, however like most cafés in the locale, I suspect it is closed on Sundays. They will only accept payment in cash. |

A basic white coffee and a chocolate brownie came to £2.40. The coffee was fine, the brownie a bit dry and tasted as though it was made from a Betty Crocker mix, but served as a perfectly cromulent sweet and cheap snack. (The owners tell us that all the cakes are made on the premises from scratch, so perhaps their baker just had an off day.) |
Film nights are held twice a month and costs £6 - this includes a either a main meal or wine and a brownie with cream or rice pudding - October 2008 films were Delicatessen and Betty Blue. They also hold once a month 'piano jams' starting at 8pm with a sign encouraging people to bring their banjos, ukuleles, guitars, fiddles and tambourines. Live music is hosted during the week with upcoming details on the corkboard and in fliers on the front window. |
