Crema's Take

“Cafe Yaya's matcha and labneh plate has earned cult status among regulars, and for good reason—the carefully curated menu prioritizes quality over quantity, with standout sandwiches like their tuna melt and an impressive dessert case that justifies lingering over coffee. The intimate space and attentive owner create the rare feeling of being welcomed into someone's neighborhood spot rather than visiting a commercial café, making it equally suited for solo mornings or group brunches.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Hidden gem in the heart of SoHo! Food is top quality and atmosphere is cozy and quaint. Highly recommend for a lowkey lunch in the area, can’t go wrong. Had the tuna melt which comes with potato stix and cornichons, and delicious chamomile tea with honey.

Cafe Yaya is always the perfect spot. Their matcha + Labneh plate is my go to. New fall menu is also to die for. Such an amazing place for a group brunch or solo morning. Can’t recommend it more!!!

Food is delicious. Highly recommend the club sandwich and the spicy peanut kale salad. Can’t go wrong with any of the deserts, I had the red velvet cheesecake and the chocolate sundae. Great service and good quality food, will definitely be coming back!
