Crema's Take

Tucked near Yale, Motw Coffee and Pastries has mastered the art of creative matcha drinks and buttery pastries in a serene, welcoming space that begs you to linger over your cup. Their signature creations—like the strawberry matcha and lavender matcha latte—strike that perfect balance of inventive and balanced, while their honeycomb bread and perfectly toasted cream cheese bagels round out an experience that feels equally suited for a serious study session or catching up with a friend. The consistently high praise speaks to their attention to detail, from the pleasant, clean atmosphere to drinks that taste as thoughtful as they look.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

This is a chill, laid back spot close to Yale University. I got their lavender matcha latte which was super good, not too sweet and with a rich matcha flavor. They also have free wi-fi here and you can stay pretty late here (12am).
