The Newcastle Coffee Snobs visited Crema Coffee Garage in April to see what we had to offer and to confirm if our reputation could stand up to the refined palates of Newcastle's more experienced coffee drinkers.

Depending on who you talk to, you will hear different things about Crema. One customer might tell you our espresso bar does some of the best coffee in town, another might tell you we're a retailer with a huge collection of coffee brewing equipment for sale, and another might tell you our barista training is the most comprehensive and beneficial course in Newcastle for budding coffee slingers. The truth is Crema Coffee Garage is all of these things!

   We are a:

  - Espresso bar equipped to brew coffee in a plethora of style;

  - Home espresso machine seller and repair centre;

  - Boutique coffee roasting house;

  - Cafe supplier;

  - Barista training facility;

  - Coffee equipment retailer.

As our local coffee snobs discovered, Crema Coffee Garage is an industry all rounder with the experience and knowledge to make memorable coffee moments. Below are some snippets from their review:

"On Broadmeadow Road, loud and proud between a whitegoods store and a muscle factory, sits Crema Coffee Garage, securely cornering the coffee scene of the area. And if you've ever wanted to sit in the eye of a coffee-lover’s storm, Crema's tables are nestled amongst coffee paraphernalia and a constant flow of Novocastrians coming in to get their beans for the weekend."

"The variety of ways you can get coffee at this place is astounding, and if they don't serve it in-store, they've got the equipment to show you how to do it at home... The Ethiopian single-O pourover is so smooth and satisfying with its palate-cleansing mineral water sidekick; it only gets better as it chills. On the flipside, the cappuccino lacked significant froth; this could be Crema’s factual version of this mum-and-dad dessert drink. Crema’s tapped cold brew is deliciously sweet without being sweetened, and all drinks come in very generous portions."
