Our Story

It all started in Alaska, a land where the mountains touch the clouds, the winters are long, and coffee stands sit on nearly every street corner. Coffee was more than just a drink. It was a daily source of warmth in the middle of the cold and darkness.

When the owners moved to Alabama in 2020, they brought their love of coffee with them. They missed the little coffee stands back home, and they wanted to build something that would feel just as friendly and familiar for their new neighbors.

The name Creme Brew Lait came to the owners one cold December night over a holiday creme brulee dessert. It sounded warm, sweet, and welcoming. The name stuck. Three months later, in March of 2021, they bought a piece of land, started dreaming about a little coffee house, and began testing recipes for what would become the Creme Brew Lait menu.

After months of building delays, permits, health inspections, and staff training, Creme Brew Lait finally opened its windows in January 2023, with an official business license, a lot of caffeinated optimism, and a simple idea:

“Snob coffee without the attitude.”

And so the adventure began.
