Another comment on Cafe Crema, but this time strictly on its meals. I wanted to go because of the coffee so we went to Crema for lunch. It turned out to be a decision worse than Lebron James' "The Decision". We looked around the tables to see what others were ordering: egg salad with greens, pasta with veal and mushroom sauce, spaghetti cabonara and smoked ham and cheese panini. We saw all but the veal pasta and none were convincingly pleasant on the eye - the cabonara looked simply like spaghet
I wanted to go because of the coffee so we went to Crema for lunch. It turned out to be a decision worse than Lebron James' "The Decision".
We looked around the tables to see what others were ordering: egg salad with greens, pasta with veal and mushroom sauce, spaghetti cabonara and smoked ham and cheese panini. We saw all but the veal pasta and none were convincingly pleasant on the eye - the cabonara looked simply like spaghetti with ham and some white sauce. Since we didn't see the veal pasta, we ordered it along with roasted coffee and a latte.
During our wait we were told they had just run out of veal and asked if we wanted chicken in our pasta instead. We saw no harm (another bad decision) and said we didn't mind.
Out came the pastas. The pasta was disappointing. I tried the mushroom sauce and it was probably some canned mushroom soup thickened up to be a sauce of sorts - it was awfully salty. The pasta had some chew in it, which was alright, but the sauce and chicken were bad combinations. This pasta needed to go with red meat. We made the effort to tell the staff what we felt upon paying the bill, let's hope they'll take our comments seriously because it was really quite foul (and we're not that discerning either).
While I got a cute kitty cat on my latte art, the roast wasn't as aromatic as the one I had at the old store. They almost tasted like two different brews. Not impressed.
This sad face
Lesson of the day: Just stick with coffee and cakes. Crema has earned the respect of many through its coffee but I agree with fellow commenters, saying that the joint's service and quality has taken a dive since moving to its newer, bigger premises. I am happy to stay away from here for a while, even though it means compromising my caffeine intake.
