Now Serving Wine and Beer.

Crema is an independent, locally-owned-and-operated cafe with coffee bar and Italian-style creamery.

We specialize in small-batch artisan gelato and sorbets made right in our store. We also feature premium teas and coffees roasted regionally. Our menu includes homemade soups, sandwiches on freshly baked bread, house greens, and rotating deli selections.

Our philosophy begins with using the best ingredients from local sources. We start with milk and cream from an Arizona dairy. Whenever possible, we source local farms for produce. Of course we make our own pastries and waffle cones. You won’t find any artificial ingredients here. We know because we make it from scratch.

Crema is located in the heart of Old Town Cottonwood, which is situated along Historic 89A between Jerome and Sedona. Historic 89A is one of the most beautiful drives in the country. Old Town Cottonwood winds around the Verde River and sits next to the ancient Native American ruins of Tuzigoot National Park. Cyclists, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy nearby Sycamore Canyon, Dead Horse Ranch State Park, Mingus Mountain, and much, much more.

Old Town is also en-route to the one-of-a kind Verde Canyon Railroad. The Verde Canyon Railroad is known as Arizona’s longest-running nature show. The scenic train ride takes you through the remote wilderness of the Verde Canyons renowned for its towering red rock pinnacles and clean, green riparian respite each year. You’ll pass Indian ruins and wildlife along your journey.
