The Best Power Boost Shake in Brookhaven

Power Boost Shake at Crema Espresso Gourmet near Brookhaven

A 16 oz Mediterranean-inspired smoothie: banana, dates and tahini, blended with whichever milk you want. Thick, properly filling, and sweet from the dates rather than from a syrup pump.

Why ours is worth the trip

The dates and the tahini are what make it a breakfast rather than a milkshake — one brings the sweetness, the other brings enough substance that it actually holds you until lunch. Blended to order, so it reaches you cold.

It stands on its own. If you want it to be lunch instead of breakfast, a scoop of chicken salad over arugula alongside will do it.

Easy to reach from Brookhaven

About 15 minutes up from Brookhaven, on Mount Vernon Road in Dunwoody, worth the trip for something baked fresh that morning.

The drive from Brookhaven

Distance
7.9 miles
Drive
about 15 min
Measured from
Brookhaven City Hall

The longest of the three runs, and the one worth a little planning. From Brookhaven City Hall on Peachtree Road it's about 7.9 miles: up onto Peachtree Boulevard, then west across Tilly Mill Road, which lands near 15 minutes when the road is clear. Far enough that ordering before you set off genuinely changes the trip rather than saving you thirty seconds.

Drinks are pulled to order and take about a minute, so the 15 minutes from Brookhaven is most of the wait already. Ordering ahead skips the queue at the counter, not the road.

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