Crema's Take

Tucked inside another storefront, this intimate tea shop punches way above its size with an impressive global selection of loose-leaf teas curated by a genuinely knowledgeable and polite owner. The ginger peach white tea has earned devoted fans who buy it by the pound, and the space transforms beautifully for special occasions like birthday afternoon teas, making it feel like a hidden gem for tea lovers willing to seek it out.

What to expect

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