Crema's Take
“This New Haven newcomer has mastered the art of the hand-whisked matcha experience, with baristas preparing each cup in front of you—a ritual that clearly resonates with guests who appreciate the craft and quality. Beyond stellar matcha lattes in creative flavors like Jasmine Double Matcha and Strawberry Matcha, Bliss offers a genuinely warm atmosphere where the welcoming staff make you feel like you belong, whether you're stopping by for the day or settling in to stay awhile. It's the kind of place that inspires genuine surprise and delight that such a thoughtfully executed specialty cafe exists in town.”
What to expect
