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.

After seeing so many great Google reviews, we decided to stop by and try their drinks for ourselves. We ordered the Turkish tea and the matcha mango drink. Honestly, we absolutely fell in love with the Turkish tea — it had the perfect cardamom flavor, beautifully balanced and so aromatic. You can really tell it’s made with care. The matcha mango drink looked amazing, but for my personal taste, it was a little too sweet. If you prefer less sweetness, you might want to ask them to adjust it. Overall, we had a lovely experience and would definitely go back again — especially for that tea!

The place is very quiet and clean. This time I tried the honeycomb dessert that exceeded my expectations It’s a type of bread with cheese in each bubble and covered with a honey but it’s not so sweet, It is the perfect mixture between salt and the Sweet. About the lattes, well, nothing special, the only thing I didn’t like is that if you ask for a special flavor, it already comes sweet.

I stopped by this café and was pleasantly surprised! I tried the cream cheese bagel, a bacon egg & cheese empanada, and an iced shaken espresso — everything was delicious. The bagel was perfectly toasted with just the right amount of cream cheese, and the empanada was warm, flaky, and full of flavor (definitely a must-try for breakfast!). The iced shaken espresso was smooth and strong, just how I like it — not too bitter, with a nice balance of flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, great for a quick bite or to hang out for a bit. Service was friendly and fast too. Overall, a great spot for coffee and breakfast — I’ll definitely be coming back!

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).
