Crema's Take
“Danbi has become a matcha destination that's genuinely converted skeptics—their signature matcha rain and creative variations like strawberry matcha have earned devoted following from both casual drinkers and serious matcha connoisseurs alike. The light-filled space draws a vibrant, younger crowd who come for the specialty drinks and inventive pastry pairings (their einspanner is a standout), and it's the kind of place that fills up quickly, so arriving early is key to snagging a seat. Whether you're meeting friends, working on your laptop, or discovering your new favorite matcha drink, there's a genuine warmth here that's made this Pasadena spot unexpectedly beloved.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Pro tip: come early because this is popular so it can get packed. We ordered the matcha rain and Einspanner 10/10 for both drinks! The flavor and caffeine intake is on point Would come back!
