S ince it’s opening, Crust and Crema has quick established a name for itself as one of the best specialty cafes in the Kingdom. From freshly roasted coffee beans, to creating their own unique house blends, using artisanal methods to deliver a clean and crisp cup of coffee, to even serving delicious cakes and light bites as the perfect accompaniment to their wide selection of drinks, Crust and Crema attracts customers from all across Bahrain in its two branches located in Saar and Galleria Mall, Zinj. Expanding their light bites menu to a full-scale gourmet menu in the Saar branch, Crust and Crema offers its customers the best of both worlds with their relaxed ambiance and rich selection of coffee, and now also a menu that boats wholesome dishes perfect for lunch and dinner.

Bringing to customers a café-restaurant experience, the new menu caters to the family-based clientele at Crust and Crema Saar, and to accommodate their dining needs, the gourmet menu was launched so they are not limited to just the light-bite options, but can enjoy a hearty and gourmet meal in their favourite café.
