Crema's Take
“This hidden gem in Kailua channels the meticulous craft of Japanese coffee culture, where every pour over and ceremonial matcha is prepared with visible care and precision—reviewers rave that it's worth the drive from Honolulu just for what might be Oahu's finest matcha. The owners' passion radiates through impeccable service and thoughtfully executed pastries like their matcha basque cake, creating an intimate space that feels like stepping into a specialty café in Japan itself.”

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, outdoor seating. Pastries on the menu.
