Crema's Take
“This Berkeley gem specializes in traditional Japanese ceremonial-grade matcha drinks that range from classic whisks to creative flavor combinations like shizu matcha and double matcha blends, with an owner Pete who clearly knows his craft. The tiny, Instagram-worthy space draws a steady crowd seeking that perfect balance between quick grab-and-go convenience and a cozy spot to linger, though consistency can be hit-or-miss depending on how well your drink is prepared. If you're in the neighborhood and craving authentic matcha with genuine care behind it, it's absolutely worth joining the line.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab.
