Crema's Take
“Tucked into a cozy Mott Street corner in Chimatown, this intimate cafe has mastered the art of the creative, East-inspired drink—their Taiwan black sugar latte and harvest hojicha latte are clearly beloved for good reason. The space strikes that perfect balance between a serious study spot and a place to linger over exceptional coffee and tea, complete with charming details like a drawing station that transforms receipts into art, plus genuinely warm staff who make recommendations feel personal. Whether you're settling in for a Zoom meeting or just need a quiet refuge, you'll find thoughtfully made drinks, light food, and an ambiance that feels genuinely welcoming rather than performatively trendy.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

This is such a cute cafe. The coffee is great. We got iced oatmilk latte, sesame latte, and matcha latte. The matcha isn’t sweet, thankfully. We tried their sesame mochi ball which was warmed up for us. We also got the black sesame mooncake and it was delicious.
