On the corner of Union and Pershing, just minutes from Forest Park, Crema Coffeehouse boasts the ultimate hangout spot, complete with a cozy espresso bar, a welcome area for dogs in the adjoining lobby and wi-fi for avid coffee shop workers. Owned by Michelle Harris and her husband, Crema Coffeehouse was born in December 2023 after years of research and planning. While studying for her doctorate in pharmacy about 10 years ago, Harris developed a passion for community coffee shops.
