Your daily cup, two taps away.
Crema is a coffee-ordering app that pairs a friendly shop with a map of nearby cafés and a loyalty card you'll actually fill. We built the whole product, from the brand and a warm green UI to the native iOS and Android app.
Order, discover, return.
Most coffee apps are just a menu with a pay button. Crema wanted more: a warm shopfront for ordering, a live map to find the good cafés nearby, and a loyalty card that actually makes you want to come back for the next cup.
Make the fifth cup feel as good as the first sip.
The look is deliberately warm and inviting: real coffee photography, soft rounded cards, one confident emerald green, and a home screen that leads with today's offer. We ran it from naming and brand through to the shipped native build on both platforms.
- P1Ordering and discovery, split apart. People juggle a delivery app and a maps app; Crema had to hold both in one place.
- P2Loyalty that gets ignored. Punch cards live in wallets and get lost, so rewards had to sit right on the home screen.
- P3One small team, both stores. iOS and Android had to launch together on a tight runway.
Three screens, one good cup.
A warm welcome, a home that leads with offers and rewards, and a live map to find the café next door.
Step into a world of coffee.
The opening screen sets the whole tone: a friendly barista holding a cup, the line “Step into Our World of Coffee Delight!” with the key words picked out in green, and one full-width Let's Get Started button. Returning regulars get a quiet Sign In link underneath.
- Warm barista photography on a soft beans-pattern backdrop
- A headline with the brand words picked out in green
- One Get Started button plus a quiet Sign In, zero friction
Offers, rewards, then the menu.
Home opens with your location and a search bar, then a swipeable Special Offers banner like “Get Special Offer up to 20%”. Below sits My Reward (3/4), a row of coffee-cup stamps counting toward a free cup, and a Featured Products grid with ratings and a quick favourite.
- Location, search and a swipeable special-offers carousel
- A cup-stamp loyalty card right on the home screen
- Featured products with ratings and a one-tap favourite

Welcome, order, discover.
From the first hello to a café found on the map, the experience lives across three screens.
Warm, rounded, repeatable.
Everything ships as named tokens and reusable components, so the Crema team can add a checkout, a subscription or the next café partner without redrawing a card.
One emerald green carries every action and tints the cup stamps and map pins; everything else is cream, white space and photography. Cards and tiles share a single generous corner radius.
A single rounded sans runs from the wordmark down to a café rating. Weight and size set the hierarchy, so headings and body never fight.
8 weeks, four moves.
Discover
Coffee-drinker interviews, a teardown of ordering and maps apps, and the order-discover-reward loop mapped before any UI.
Brand & design
The Crema identity, the warm green ordering system, and high-fidelity screens for every flow.
Build
Cross-platform native development with the shop, the live café map and the rewards card wired into the design system.
Launch
QA, store submission for both platforms, and a handoff the in-house team can run with.
What it delivered.
Across both stores in its first weeks. Drinkers kept mentioning how easy it was to find a café and re-order.
iOS and Android launched on the same day from one cross-platform codebase, on budget.
Home, Discover, Wishlist, Chat and Profile, built on a documented system the team now extends.
We didn't want just another order button. Siznex gave us an app that feels warm and keeps people coming back, and a system we keep adding to without losing the craft.
