Crema's Take

“This charming tea house on Ames' main strip is a sanctuary for loose leaf enthusiasts, with staff who genuinely know their craft and can guide you toward your perfect cup—whether that's a flawlessly executed matcha or a discovery from their thoughtful selection. Beyond the exceptional beverages and fresh-baked scones, it's the unhurried atmosphere and artistic touches that make it feel like a destination rather than a pit stop, complete with occasional live music and a community of regulars who keep coming back. The care that goes into every detail, from the consistent quality of each drink to the curated product displays, creates the kind of gathering space where you'll want to linger with friends or settle in with a book.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

Wonderful tea house in Ames! Wide selection of teas and supplies, and decent seating areas to relax while you're there. They even had someone singing and playing live, mellow holiday tunes while I was there. A nice touch!
