Crema's Take
“Olive and James is obsessed with matcha in creative forms—the Tiramisu Matcha Latte and Pistachio Matcha are genuinely delicious without added sugar, balancing bitter and umami in ways that feel intentional rather than gimmicky. The space itself is a major draw, with an earthy, calming aesthetic that makes you want to linger with one of their house-made cheesecakes, though portions are modest for the price. If you're in Silver Lake and tired of standard coffee shops, this is worth the trip.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Another matcha/coffee spot in the neighborhood. Within a 1 mile walk you have loquat, yala, handles, dayglow, picnic and now olive and James. I’ve had their matcha before in the melrose store and they are pretty decent but the main star of the show is the $12 cheesecake. I…
