Crema's Take
“This San Diego gem has mastered the art of matcha, with their signature Vienna Matcha (matcha with dreamy vanilla cold foam) earning raves as some of the best in the city, while their fruit cold foams taste genuinely natural rather than artificial. Beyond the matcha obsession, they're also slinging excellent Vietnamese coffee and creative specialty drinks from a sleek wall-mounted kiosk system, with a reputation for lightning-fast service and ample seating that makes it perfect for lingering over your laptop. Fair warning: their popularity means lines can snake outside, but regulars say the quality of each drink makes the wait absolutely worth it.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly.

The matcha drinks are sooo good and the fruit cold foam taste like real natural fruit not fake. The service was amazing and I can’t wait to come back. Also they brought the drinks out so fast!!
Be prepared to wait in a pretty long line outside the building - the only ordering option is a wall mounted kiosk right inside the entry (Side note: There are additional drink options available on the kiosk not shown on the physical menu). The Vietnamese coffee is really good,…
Delicious matcha and Vietnamese coffee shop! Ordered the earl grey matcha and would give that about a 6/10. Honestly should’ve gotten the double matcha instead from reviews but I’ll try it next time, probably wouldn’t recommend the earl grey though. The quality of matcha was…
