Crema's Take

“Tucked inside a shared space in San Jose, The Orange Tabby is an eco-conscious café that's earned a devoted following for its inventive matcha-forward drinks—think yuzu matcha tonics and pink coconut matchas—crafted with alternative milks and a commitment to minimizing waste. The genuinely friendly staff and thoughtfully balanced flavors create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating that's perfect for lingering over a laptop or meeting a friend. It's the kind of underrated gem that feels like a well-kept secret, even though its 4.8-star reputation suggests plenty of people have already discovered why it deserves the hype.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings.

I tried the pink coconut Matcha, which is just Matcha and coconut water, it was nice and pretty refreshing. I was originally going to get a latte, but they only offer alternative milks, like oat, soy, and almond. They encourage you to bring your own cup, or you can buy a two…
