Crema's Take

This Houston matcha specialist has earned a devoted following for thoughtfully crafted matcha drinks that actually let you taste the matcha beneath the sweetness, especially their praised vanilla classic and creative seasonal offerings like carrot cake matcha. The newer Menil-area location moves lines impressively fast without sacrificing care, and regulars rave about the homemade vanilla foam and the team's genuine friendliness. If you've been burned by overly sugary matcha lattes elsewhere, this is the spot to experience matcha done right.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

I absolutely love their matcha! Definitely coming back! Super friendly service, their cold vanilla foam was amazing! A bit sweet but good ice ratio, milk ratio and taste, and especially matcha taste!
