Crema's Take
“Ixxa hand-whisks every matcha order, and that kind of deliberate craft extends to their entire program—the coffee is reliably excellent, the pastries (especially the croissants) are legitimately worth ordering, and the space itself feels thoughtfully designed rather than just decorated. It's the kind of place where regulars stick around for hours, dog-friendly and with enough seating that you won't feel rushed, though cold foam portions are genuinely stingy for the price. Go if you want specialty drinks made with actual care and a cafe that doesn't feel like it's trying too hard to impress you.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

I dig it the most. Loved the plants. My chocolate was hot! They could stand to add variety to their hot chocolate menu like chili powder and maybe lemon zest.
Lovely atmosphere, lots of seating for a small place. Great coffee and tried the almond, and ham and Swiss croissants. Yum!!!
My absolute favorite matcha/coffee shop. They whisk the matcha by hand and I truly appreciate the care behind that. My partner loves their iced coffees as well. Their flavors are on point. The vibe here is incredible. I love meeting up with friends here or even have a moment by…
Recently went for the first time and the moment I walked in I felt like the place was so beautiful and so much thought into decorating. As someone who is an avid coffee drinker and cafe goer this place was excellent! The only room for improvements as someone who likes working at…
