Crema Bakery and Cafe will close its doors permanently on September 17.
Local flavor and culture take another bitter loss with the news that Owned and operated by Jessica Forkner Tomberlin and her wife Janessa, Crema has been feeding people deliciously since 2013.
Crema quietly served as a casual restaurant with a serious coffee program and excellent pastries until owner Tomberlin started to help feed not just her customers, but anyone who needed a meal. Like every business during the March 2020 pandemic, Crema was hit with restrictions, but instead focused on offering sack lunches to kids who used to eat a mid-day meal in school.
During Austin’s brutal snowpocalypse of 2021, Crema lost power for three days, along with their entire inventory. Tomberlin chose to spend $5,000 to buy food and gave it away to more than 400 Austinites who had lost power and couldn’t feed themselves.
“I’ve taken on astronomical debt trying to keep us alive ‘until things get better.’ But they aren’t getting better. So it’s time for us to go the way of so many local treasures.”Everyone should be. Crema’s closing is a huge loss to the community-at-large, and Tomberlin has promised a “fill the freezer” style menu allowing customers to safely hold on to some baked goods and dole them out over the coming days.
