Crema's Take
“Tucked into East Williamsburg, this spot has mastered the art of the elevated café experience with an unexpectedly delicious food program—their fluffy onigiris and creative lattes (the matcha tiramisu is a standout) keep regulars coming back between trips. The staff radiates genuine warmth, and while you'll need to order ahead online to secure your spot, it's worth the small friction for what feels like a true neighborhood gem that takes both coffee craft and Japanese comfort food seriously.”

Definitely adding this place to my favorites! Tiramisu latte and salmon onigiri yam. Everything was amazing. The staff is the sweetest.
The onigiri was actually really good. And a decent/normal price. My only beef is that you have to order 15 mins ahead online. I really liked the spicy salmon. I think it had mustard in it which was actually a nice surprise.
i have found a true gem in east williamsburg💎 this cafe offers the SMOOTHEST matcha latte 🍵 i have had in my life. microfoam is microfoaming hard. the default version is sweetened. so you have to order unsweetened if that is your preference. i also tried kombu (seaweed) onigiri 🍙 the rice to filling ratio is a bit off (too much rice more my liking). kombu filling is perfectly seasoned, combining sweet and savory flavors. seaweed wrap is really soggy since the beginning and kinda too chewy. this cafe is rather small. but they have wifi, 4 tables and 3-4 bar seats inside. outdoor has only chairs but not tables. i went on sunday and it was packed since 10am 🫶🏻 the vibe is industrial with hint of greenery. they also have miso soup and other japanese sandwiches 🥪 i need to try their egg sando very soon.
my favorite matcha in the neighborhood! this is the first stop i make when i come back from a trip. it’s simple but comforting and always so good. i love their onigiri set that comes with two onigiris and edamame. their bentos are also delicious and well-balanced. worth the lines!
I went on a Sunday morning and there was some wait but it was still pretty quick 🍙 hot peppers and plum: both were huge in size and so flavorful 🍵 matcha tiramisu latte: perfectly sweet, thick and decadent . That mascarpone foam was amazing 🍰 yuzu cheesecake with ginger and lime : probably my favorite bite. Unique taste and texture was perfect Limited seating. There are so many items on the menu I would love to try next time. Definitely add this to your cafe list
