Crema's Take

This Irvine café transports you into a whimsical Hello Kitty dream with its tastefully curated light pink, white, and gold aesthetic, complete with a private sit-down tea room that feels genuinely special rather than gimmicky. Beyond the charming ambiance, they've earned genuine praise for their delicate madeleines and thoughtfully trained staff who elevate the experience—making it feel like a destination for both devoted collectors and anyone seeking a genuinely memorable afternoon tea experience. It's the rare character-themed spot that prioritizes atmosphere and hospitality without sacrificing quality or taste.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
