Crema's Take
“This Filipino-inspired spot is obsessed with housemade syrups—particularly sweet corn and ube—turning them into unexpectedly delicious matcha and espresso drinks that have customers returning obsessively. Tamistea fills a real gap in the South Bay with thoughtful specialty beverages and pastries that feel both creative and genuinely cared for. If you love matcha lattes or want to experience ube and corn in ways you haven't before, the short detour is absolutely worth it.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks.

nice lil nook! went to their soft opening & got the Mais Con Ube w/ a matcha base instead of espresso- 10/10 recommended it like this. love how it’s rooted in faith & is filipino-owned/inspired (reminds me of home!). wishing there was a lil more seating inside to do work or have…
