Crema's Take
“The matcha here rivals dedicated matcha bars, with inventive seasonal variations like spiced pear that convert skeptics, while the espresso-focused coffee program holds its own as some of Portland's best. It's a genuinely welcoming queer immigrant-owned space with thoughtful homemade syrups and excellent pastries that strikes the perfect balance between quiet enough to work and convivial enough to linger with friends. The light-filled room of intimate two-person bistro tables makes it feel like a secret even though it's becoming exactly the kind of neighborhood gem everyone's heard about.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Delicious croissants, beautiful light filled space with 8 cute 2-person bistro tables plus one outside tables. Lovely homemade syrups for coffee, I had the spiced pear seasonal latte and it was phenomenal. Kind, friendly, helpful staff and no line!
