★★★★★4.8(463 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

This San Jose spot opens late and invites you to linger with an thoughtfully curated menu that goes beyond typical café fare, though their signature creations seem to inspire strong reactions—some customers rave about their Thai iced tea with boba and the welcoming ambiance, while others have had inconsistent experiences with flavored drinks like their banana matcha and caramel milk tea. The 4.8-star rating suggests that when Teaspoon gets it right, the experience shines with quality tea selection and genuine hospitality, but it might be worth asking locals what they're currently ordering best.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Open late.

Trying this place for the first time and it was really good. They have a wide spectrum of teas apart from the usual. Their service and ambience was great. We got Thai ice tea with boba and matcha boba tea with strawberry. The Thai tea was fresh and refreshing. Typical taste that…
