Crema's Take
“The strawberry matcha is a genuine obsession among regulars who visit daily for this signature drink alone—it's the kind of creative special that justifies a detour to Astoria. The tiny, perpetually crowded space pairs excellent house-made pastries with thoughtfully crafted coffee and tea drinks, all handled by genuinely warm staff who make the tight quarters feel intentional rather than cramped. Come for the matcha drinks and pastries, stay for the neighborhood energy and consistency that keeps people coming back every morning.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

See all on Google →A hidden gem! Affordable & delicious coffee, teas, and sweets. I personally love the Iced Lattes and Matcha Lattes, plus the croissants and scones. Cons- Very tiny inside. It feels crowded if there are more than 3 people in at once. More of a takeout place!
