Crema's Take

Tucked away on the second floor of an unassuming building near Union Station, Archives of Us is a hidden gem that rewards those who find it with expertly crafted matcha drinks that go far beyond the basics—think orange mint matcha and matcha einspänner alongside traditional espresso. The intimate, aesthetically refined space feels like discovering a secret, and it's become a destination worth the detour, whether you're between flights or willing to run miles out of your way for a perfectly caramelized canale and a expertly pulled shot.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

I really enjoyed grabbing matcha and pastries with some friends here. They only have one in their pastry case and luckily it’s one of my favorite pastries of all time: the canale. they are caramelized and crunchy on the outside with a custard texture on the inside. They had a…
