Crema's Take
“This beloved Cary spot is a creative haven for ice cream lovers, famous for their handmade fish-shaped waffle cones (koiyaki) and rotating flavor experiments that draw inspiration from Asian traditions—think sakura matcha, ube, Thai tea, and banana pudding. Beyond the Instagram-worthy treats, it's the owner's genuine passion and personal touch that keeps people coming back, whether you're lingering over a perfectly crafted jasmine tea latte or letting him guide you through flavor tastings until he nails your perfect match. The warm ambiance and thoughtful service make it feel less like a transaction and more like discovering a neighborhood treasure run by someone who actually cares.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.
