Crema's Take
“BLND's Japanese-Mexican fusion is the real deal—their matcha drinks are genuinely exceptional (even matcha skeptics are converts), and the food, from mole-topped omurice to fresh onigiri, proves this isn't just Instagram bait. It's a tiny neighborhood spot that prioritizes quality and hospitality over capacity, so go for a quick, memorable visit rather than a work session, and don't miss their traditional matcha preparation done with proper technique and care.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The sweetest people behind the counter, very comforting, delicious and unique menu. The food (mains, onigiri and desserts) have been great everytime I go. I also ordered the omurice (great mole btw) to go one time and it traveled very well. Highly recommend having your drinks in…
Awesome new Japanese–Mexican café. The matcha with strawberry and yuzu was out of this world, and I’m usually not a big matcha lover. I also had the onigiri duo with pork and mole, as well as salmon. Both were delicious and great value. There isn’t a ton of seating, but it’s…
A new local japanese mexican cross fusion coffee studio; with social media hype. Came to experience the high anticipated expectation from all social media postings. This was a true disappointment! Eggs are overcooked and lackluster, not fluffy as the owner and other reviewers…
Great addition to the neighborhood with high quality matcha. The food was super fresh and tasty and I loved how they used the traditional tools and techniques to prepare my matcha latte. Definitely will be back!
