Crema Deli Bar

PROFILED BY DEGROOTS MEDIA

Crema Deli Bar is a delightful addition to the Q1 piazza on the ground level in front of the world’s tallest residential tower. Visitors and residents alike can enjoy sun-splashed outdoor dining in this quieter part of the tourist strip. The decor is relaxed and sprinkled with appetite-enhancing deep red while a raw brick wall, incorporated into an impressive counter display, shows architectural contrast.

Crema takes coffee seriously – their signature brew is made from a blend of Latin American beans. Baristas show excellent coffee making skills and a passion for the product. When it comes to something delectable to nibble on while you sip your coffee, Crema has got you covered. The “CDB” breakfast is a delicatessen delight featuring avocado and proscuitto on herb and garlic buttered ciabatta. The lunch menu includes the usual suspects of bagels, wraps, baguettes and toasted Turkish bread with a selection of fresh fillings and salads. Prices are modest at between $9.50 and $12.50. Crema Deli Bar is the perfect place to relax with a caramel latte while recovering from the excitement of a trip to the super high Q1 Observation Deck. The stylish 42-seat cafe is the place to meet friends for a delicious healthy or indulgent lunch (the choice is yours) and first-rate coffee.
