I grew up in St. Albert, and while I go back frequently (usually every week or so), my trips are usually only to my parents' place (my childhood home!) and back home again.
Yesterday, I had an appointment with my eye doctor, the same one I've been going to since a kid. His office is in downtown St. Albert, and I got there early (miracle), so I actually explored the city a little more than I usually do. Even though it's only been a few years since I've lived here, a few things have definitely changed.
My beloved St. Thomas Cafe is no more. I had lots of memories of that place. Mostly awkward first dates in high school. But those are different stories for a different day.
It's been replaced by La Crema, which looks pretty similar in set-up and tone. It's still comfy and cozy with lots of tables.
I swung by and ordered a London Fog, my usual drink. It was very, very hot (a good thing) and pretty delicious. Not quite as sweet as I would have liked it, but still quite tasty.
I didn't try any of the baked goods, but I did notice that everything is gluten free. Very cool!
Next time I'm in St. Albert, I'll definitely come by for a cup of coffee here! -

Sunday Brunch Buffet price has increased to $14.95 from $13.95.
Not really a big increase, but worth an update none the less.
I did notice on my most recent visit that they did not have homemade granola out. It may have been an oversight or perhaps they do not make that anymore?Listed in: Coffee & Tea, Rise & Shine - Breakfast time!

This use to be one of my favorite spots to go to with my mom when it use to be st Thomas street cafe, there food was always made fresh and delicious, I know some people think that glutton free food is the way to go. They have redone the entire menu and made it all glutton free, as well as more so a society for their church following and I feel very unwelcome there. As for the food again, it is bland and lacking alot of flavor.

I've wound up here a few times now, and I would venture that La Crema's Cherry Hill coffee is their best asset. Good cappuccino, but a couple of times the barista has been a bit sloppy and there has been a coffee puddle between my cup and saucer. They serve it with amaretti cookies, though, which is a rare treat. Excellent lemon meringue and apple pies. Decent cinnamon buns, though they could stand to be baked longer. The last one I had was soft to the point of be squishy and moldable. I love half of the room but I don't love the other half. One half has a fireplace, antique-style walls, and framed black and white family photos, which lend an air of familiarity and class. The part of the room near the entrance, though, seems haphazard because it is a bunch of equipment and boxes stored out in the open. If they could redo that side of the cafe it would be stunning.

This is a cozy little cafe in St. Albert. I discovered it by chance, and I now whenever I come to St. Albert to watch a movie at Grandin Theatre, I make sure to stop by this little cafe. La Crema serves coffee, Italian sodas, alcoholic drinks (mostly beer and wine), as well as grilled paninis, soups and lots of yummy baked goods such as pies, cakes and cookies. There are even gluten-free foods available.
The location of this coffee house is discrete; the place feels cozy, so it's no surprise that is gets extremely busy. Even when it is, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it's easy to spend several hours here without even noticing. Both food and coffee are excellent.
What makes this place even more charming is that from time to time it hosts live performance nights. I had a chance to see a wonderful young guitarist perform 70s/80s songs.
Service is fast and hassle free.
