Creations

The baristas are very ditzy and make you wait forever. I ordered a black coffee and a family behind me ordered 3 lattes… they made the lattes first before they poured the coffee, making my quick coffee trip a twenty minute wait. They didn’t apologize and acted like I was nuts for asking for my coffee after 20 minutes… I will definitely be going to Mola from now on…

This place is doing it right. There’s a bunch of other reviews that hit on the biggies, but I want to focus on something unique.
Portion and price. Many places give a bigger portion than you need and throw another $ 2 on to the price to justify it. These guys do a small breakfast wrap for $ 3.75 and it’s the perfect size for the morning. Grab a banana and the whole thing is $ 4.50 and delicious. Their smoothies don’t start at $ 5 and increase by 30¢ with each size; they start at $ 3-​something and then add $ 1 for each increase. If you order a small, you pay for a small. The small iced drinks are small — 10oz? — but start at $ 3. Other places increase the size, splash in more milk and ice, and charge $ 4.50.
It’s an honest price structure and it works for them. I hope they know it does not go unnoticed. Definitely check them out. (They were closed on a Sunday when I first tried to go and I’m glad I returned.)

Really cheap and really tasty. I had the chicken pesto panini which was delicious; the coffee is good and beautiful. This place is like the less pretentious, less expensive Sol Bean.
Only downside: Wakefield parking can get scary.

Latte art!!! A place in the north shore that does latte art.
So much fun. The bagel was decent and the coffee was excellent, especially my little design on top. It’s the perfect way to make your day.
The owners were so sweet when I walked in and I just adored their coffee (delish!!!) — the décor is nothing special, this is the type of place I would get stuff to go always (very small and not much room or ambiance). However if you’re looking for a great latte or bagel in Wakefield this is your place.

I love this place. Best coffee in Wakefield and I love supporting a good local business that uses local roasters. The service is super friendly (though can occasionally be a little slow). As I said, it’s my pick of coffee shops in this town.

Popped in for a Caramel Latte last week and I was not disappointed. They took their time with the order and the presentation was nice with some swirly caramel design… most importantly it was tasty! Parking in downtown Wakefield is not great but I will definitely be back.

Love this place! Med iced latte is out of this world. It’s so authentic! I think they are closed Sundays so call before heading out!

Great bagels and great coffee!

As good as it gets. The coffee here is to die for. The wraps are fresh and tasty. My favorite is the Spicy Thai Chicken wrap. After the first few visits, the workers now greet me by name when I enter and waive at me when I leave. As a military family who likes to root for the local business man at every location, Creations Café, is without a doubt, our favorite little café in 5 states.

Sandwiches are fine, but lower your expectations. Great location, limited seating. I tried a chai latte, which I think was the usual premade, but indeed the foam was quite artful and the added cinnamon was much appreciated.

Wow… What an incredible iced latte! I trusted the reviews since the store (front and inside) didn’t exactly look like a place that knew how to make a great latte. They use a local micro coffee roaster and it shows. Yum yum highly recommend!

This review is only for the iced coffee. This is the best iced coffee I have ever had. I have been a barista for the past 6 or so years and have had a LOT of iced coffee. This is stronger, more balanced, with medium acidity and no burnt taste. It is also super caffeinated. Will have to come back and try a sandwich or speciality noodle soup!

Open til five most weekdays. Ran out of some food by 230 on Tuesday though

Didn’t get a very friendly vibe in this place. Coffee and food were decent.

My favorite café in the Wakefield area– I go with my friends here often for chats over coffee and smoothies. Gia (the Barista/​owner) makes amazing Latte art and the drinks taste as good or better then they look. My friend brought me into Creations Café about 2 years ago for the first time. Since then I have become a regular– going about twice a week. It is that good. The owners greet me by name and know my favorite orders. I always have had exceptional service. Word to the wise, they are a small family run business so they close every other Sunday and are often closed on holidays.
Favorite items on the menu: Mocha Freeze (non-​fat frozen yogurt, espresso, blended with ghirardelli chocolate) and Bistro breakfast wrap (tortilla wrap, cream cheese, tomato, spinach and 2 eggs) — I get the two together for less than $ 10.00

I cannot say enough positive comments about Creations! I have never had a bad experience here, and I’m always so happy to see Gia behind the counter! I’ve been enjoying this place for ten years and the great food and service are still the same.
My favorite lunch is the Main Street Salad on a whole wheat wrap. They really take the time to serve you delicious food with high quality ingredients, and they even bring the food out to you while you sit!
As for drinks, I am not much of a coffee or latte drinker, but the skill that the staff has at designing their lattes is phenomenal. I LOVE their smoothies, and although I’ve tried many of the berry-​based smoothies, my go-​to for years has always been the Strawberry Breeze smoothie, and it’s SO good!
The atmosphere of Creations is so cute and relaxing. From the bright colors to the modern local art, it’s definitely a great find and a great place to bring the girls!

The.most.delicious.panini.I.have.ever.eaten.
I really wish I would have found Creations when I moved to Wakefield a year ago. It’s a small, quaint place in the heart of Wakefield. It’s a great place to grab a sandwich on the go — but don’t be in TOO much of a rush because with so many intriguing combinations & menu items, it’s hard to choose just one! I had the Sun-​Valley Chicken sandwich — I highly reccommend it.
The price of the sandwiches on their menu are also priced very reasonably — way better than chains like Panera who defintley overprice your meal and don’t take the personal time to fix it properly — everytime!
Also, I’m not a big coffee drinker — I’m not a fan of the overall taste of coffee but sometimes we all just need some sort of energy fix. I tried the hazlenut coffee with a little cream & sugar — I LIKED IT! So that is a victory in itself.
Closes around 3pm I think… so make sure to try it out for lunch or breakfast!

I’ve been going to Creations for years now and I have to say I have never once had a bad experience. I’ve gotten to know the owners on a first name basis but to be honest, they know everyone on a first name basis. They are the sweetest couple and always appreciative of your business.
Impressive foam art aside, I rarely get hot drinks. My go-​to drink is an iced dirty chai (chai w/​espresso). Although it hurts to pay $ 4.50 for a coffee, I’d rather give it to Creations than Starbucks, and they put much more craftsmanship into it. They also have frequent buyer rewards cards which makes it hurt less!
BEST iced coffee. Granted you can buy Rau coffee and brew it at home, but I’m obviously too lazy or I wouldn’t be coming here everyday. But the fact that they sourced it out tells me they know what they’re doing.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the sandwiches were pre-​made and delivered but I don’t even bother with them anyway. They actually are pretty good but their own ‘creations’ are the way to go. Anything hand written in chalk or marker is what you should immediately go to. Always give the feeling like these are just delicious meals they make at home all the time and are kind enough to share with us.
ACAPULCO WRAP. Just sayin’.
If this café was in any popular square in Boston there would be a wait out the door. Guaranteed.

Iced coffee was fantastic and very reasonably priced, as well as their breakfast wraps! It’s in a very convenient spot in the center, and it has a nice environment. There are some great pieces of artwork for sale that are displayed all over the walls, and has a corkboard dedicated to promoting other local businesses.
The only thing that is a little concerning is they are pouring their ingredients out of unmarked containers (not 100% on the freshness), and the floor was covered in leaves and needed to be swept.

What a gem.
I’d like to preface this review by saying that this café is an example of a business that the owners pour their heart and soul into… they use wholesome ingredients, and really care about what they put into their food. Creations is run by a family of which are extremely polite and welcoming.
BEST SMOOTHIES EVER!!!
Really, I’m a smoothie fanatic, and these people use fresh fruit and not much else (they make it right in front of you), and also it’s not badly priced.
If you like coffee (iced, hot, insert special variation of coffee here) then these guys have the best! It’s very well priced too, a large iced coffee is like $ 2.25.
If you like sandwiches, this place sells them for ~$ 6.95. They have chicken pesto, mozzarella tomato & basil, etc… amazing.
Aside from these things they also make breakfast sandwiches with turkey sausage, eggs and vegtables for like $ 4.
