Crema's Take

This charming Alameda tea garden excels at creating a serene escape with its lush back patio, where you can linger over sustainably-sourced teas served in whimsical presentations or settle in with one of their exceptional housemade pastries and fresh, thoughtfully-prepared light fare. The team clearly takes pride in both their craft—from specialty matcha drinks to their standout onsite bakery—and their hospitality, making it equally perfect for a solo afternoon of slow tea sipping or gathering with friends and colleagues. Whether you're seeking a proper tea shop experience or catering for an event, Julie's balances that rare combination of genuine warmth, quality ingredients, and a genuinely beautiful space that keeps people coming back.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

This tea garden is a charming spot with a serene ambiance. I ordered a sustainably-sourced tea, which was presented beautifully in a whimsical teapot display – such a delightful touch! The Salmon Toast was packed with flavor and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. …
