Crema's Take
“The matcha program here is legitimately worth obsessing over—regulars return multiple days in a row just to work through the rotating flavors like banana cream and strawberry, and the drinks arrive looking like edible art. The banh mi sandwiches and overnight oats are thoughtful enough to anchor a visit, and the library location gives the whole experience a quiet, contemplative vibe that feels rare for a specialty coffee shop. If you're the type who appreciates Southeast Asian coffee culture translated thoughtfully into California, this is a no-brainer.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Light food on the menu.

This is a review for only their Banh Mi’s, which are only just okay. I had high hopes but these banh Mi’s are filtered for the white Walnut Creek palate. We got the Dac Biet combo and the Grilled Chicken - Carrots tasted too raw and were not pickled enough - I was intrigued…

Walking up to the menu of this in library coffee shop reminded both my wife and I immediately of so many south East Asian coffee shops! The attention to detail of the menu items and their contents, the super fancy espresso machine, the Italian sodas on the menu, it all screamed…
