Hatsuzakura
2123 Adams Ave, San Diego, CA
Crema's Take
“Hatsuzakura is a beloved North Park gem that draws crowds for its inviting, serene atmosphere and thoughtfully crafted drinks that blend traditional Japanese beverages with creative specialty options. While it's small and operates on a first-come, first-served basis (arriving early is key), the attentive service and quality of their drinks, pastries, and light fare make it worth the wait for those seeking an authentic, leisurely experience perfect for meeting friends or marking a special occasion.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
