Crum Coffee Bar may be cozy, but their full espresso bar never disappoints! As someone who appreciates gluten-free options, I love that they’re celiac-friendly, with low to sugar-free treats on the menu.
A lot of their treats are vegan too, so expect a subtle coconut twist from the oil. I find them quite yummy!
