Crema's Take
“% Arabica's Kyoto latte—a slow-brewed cold coffee drink that tastes like the Japanese cafes that inspired it—is worth the detour to 30 Rock on its own, though the single-origin espresso drinks and fresh matcha are equally compelling. The standing-room-only counter puts baristas front and center as artists, not order-takers, and regulars rave about the precision and warmth you'll experience whether you're a coffee purist or matcha devotee. It's the kind of place that makes you understand why people waited in line at the original Arashiyama location—craft and care distilled into every cup.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. Slow-sit spot.

Come here if you actually enjoy coffee. You will appreciate the simple, clean craft for what it is. No tables. Baristas are the center piece. Chemex machine is so cool. Single origin Ethiopian light roast. Pre-dosed canister of whole beans. Wow. Art.
