Joan Bice Underwood Tearoom

Crema's Take

“This tearoom takes matcha seriously in a way you won't find at most coffee shops, grinding and whisking it properly rather than just stirring powder into milk. The slow-sit atmosphere and thoughtfully paired pastries make it feel more like a quiet ritual than a caffeine grab, which is exactly what a good tea experience should be. If you're tired of rushed coffee culture and want to actually taste what you're drinking, this is worth the trip to Ames.”
