Crema's Take
“This Japanese café elevates matcha beyond the Instagram-friendly trend—their rotating single-origin selections and expertly steamed lattes (try the houjicha) make it a legitimate destination for tea enthusiasts willing to seek out quality. The minimal, refined space attracts a discerning crowd that lingers over their drinks rather than rushing through, though weekend crowds can get thick enough to justify ordering to-go if you want to actually taste what you're drinking.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
