The Best Power Boost Shake in Chamblee

Power Boost Shake at Crema Espresso Gourmet near Chamblee

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.

The drive from Chamblee

Distance
5.9 miles
Drive
about 12 min
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.

Drinks are pulled to order and take about a minute, so the 12 minutes from Chamblee is most of the wait already. Ordering ahead skips the queue at the counter, not the road.

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.
