Crema's Take
“Their strawberry matcha is genuinely distinctive—a perfectly balanced sweet drink that's become the shop's calling card—and the Basque cheesecake slices are worth the trip alone if you're a pastry person. The espresso pulls are solid too, the staff is bilingual and genuinely helpful, and it manages to be family-friendly without feeling chaotic, making it an ideal spot to actually sit for a while in South Brooklyn. If you're drawn to creative matcha drinks and generously-portioned desserts over cutting-edge third-wave espresso, this is exactly your place.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Decent matcha for a decent price in South Brooklyn. Not particularly strong, not particularly weak. Good vegan options, staff here is bilingual and apparently their desserts are pretty good. It is what I consider a gentrified cafe and a modern take on old world asian classics.
I went to Brooklyn from Long Island today and found this coffee shop. I ordered this taro towel roll and a box of Basque slices. Oh my god, it was so delicious. The skin of this mochi Basque is so chewy and can be drawn. The Basque is so smooth. This is the best Basque I have…
I found out about this place on tik tok and was super excited to try it for whenever I was in the area. I'm a sucker for sweet treats and this was quite good. The only thing was that the matcha from the tart had a very grassy taste. I enjoyed these for the most part and would…
I thought the coffee was great. Saw an espresso machine so i was glad. And they have almond milk! Greenwood latte had matcha foam on top w a bit of coconut shaving, aesthetically pretty and not sweet which i'm happyy about. Soymilk egg tart is nice for someone who likes soy…
