Crema's Take

“This cozy San Jose spot doubles down on quality matcha and creative milk tea blends, earning devoted fans who rave about ceremonial-grade matcha that actually tastes the difference and boldly flavored drinks like their Matcha Einspanner Latte and dark oolong with sea salt cream. They're known for celebrating the seasons with special promotions and thoughtful pairings—think matcha tiramisu lattes and house-made pastries—making it worth staying late since they open into the evening when the vibe turns particularly buzzy. While their menu can be hit-or-miss depending on what you order, sticking with their matcha specialties or traditional tea drinks rewards you with impactful, well-crafted flavors that don't get lost even under generous cream toppings.”

Hit or miss drinks, I tend to play safe by ordering matcha. It's not on the strong side but more on the sweet side of matcha, but overall it's still kinda good

Ceremonial matcha and you can really tasted the difference!!! We had matcha on matcha latte and einspanner latte! They were both excellent! I think the cafe feels cozy and cute. I haven’t tried other drinks yet but I can’t wait to make more trips to get quality drinks here soon. Both drinks were excellent! 10 out of 10!

I came around 7 PM on a Friday night, and there was a long line since they’re celebrating all October with lots of cute gifts and free toppings for any drink. I ordered the Matcha Einspanner Latte and the Mango Passion Fruit Oolong Tea — both were really good! The matcha and tea flavors were strong and pure, just the way I like them. Definitely worth the wait!

Quality and strong flavored drinks for a reasonable price. I tried the matcha-matcha latte and dark oolong milk tea with sea salt cream and enjoyed the impactful flavors they had despite having cream In them. The matcha cream complemented the matcha latte very well and the drink portion was well worth what I paid for it. They had a promotion going on where each milk tea or matcha would come with up to 3 free toppings. Definitely one of my favorite tea places at the moment!

The corn cake and matcha tiramisu latte with espenier topping were so yummy! Tiramisu cake was good but the rum flavor was way too strong, so I personally liked the corn cake. Please give them a try! Glad to see the store rebranded into a good place!
