Crema's Take
“This Japantown spot brings together expertly crafted pastries and creative specialty drinks in a compact space that draws lines out the door for good reason. The matcha cream puffs and inventive croissants—think Korean-inspired fillings like kalbijjim and injoelmi—showcase real pastry skill and flavor ambition that goes well beyond standard café fare. Come early for the crispiest baked goods and be prepared to resist eating them before you leave; the quality here makes it genuinely difficult.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

This place is dangerous! The baked goods are delicious, and you'll want to eat everything before you get home. Located on the bottom floor in the Japantown mall, there's usually a line to get in and the pastries sell out quickly. We tried the popular black sesame creme puffs,…
Very good and special crossiants with Asian flavors! We tried Kalbijjim crossiant, Injoelmi crossiant at bottom, and hojicha puff, spending ~$20 in total. Injoelmi crossiant is perfect for people who like (just a little) sweet bakeries and mochi. Not too sweet and tastes…
