The Best Signature Chicken Salad Sandwich in Chamblee

Signature Chicken Salad Sandwich at Crema Espresso Gourmet near Chamblee

Our house-made signature chicken salad, made with almonds and served on a French croissant with grape tomatoes — or as a scoop over arugula if you would rather leave the bread out of it. Creamy, savory, and made from scratch.

Why ours is worth the trip

We make the chicken salad in-house, and the almonds give it the bit of crunch that makes it worth coming back for. Real, made-with-care food from a coffee shop that actually has a kitchen.

It also goes home by weight, in half-pound and pound tubs, which is what a fair number of regulars actually come in for.

The drive from Chamblee

Distance
5.9 miles
Drive

Measured from
central Chamblee

Close to a straight run north: Peachtree Boulevard onto Tilly Mill Road, then a last stretch of Chamblee-Dunwoody Road. From central Chamblee that's about 5.9 miles and roughly 12 minutes with the road clear — the sort of distance people cover on a Saturday morning without thinking about it, and an easy detour if you're already heading toward Perimeter.

The signature chicken salad sandwich is made to order, which is rather the point of ordering before you set off from Chamblee: we are building it while you drive, so those 12 minutes are the wait rather than being added to it.

Distance and time measured from central Chamblee with OpenStreetMap routing. Free-flow, so treat it as a clear-run figure rather than a promise at 8am.
