Crema's Take
“This Fresno gem punches well above its weight with exceptionally crafted Thai espresso and matcha drinks that showcase real quality ingredients without heavy-handed sweetness—their coconut matcha is a standout that lets the matcha flavor actually shine through. The owners clearly care about world-class standards, delivering generous 16 or 24oz pours at prices that feel fair, plus a genuinely attentive staff that makes the packed-house experience feel welcoming rather than rushed. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for their signature creative drinks, you're getting the kind of thoughtful execution that keeps locals coming back.”

Love this boba shop. Just wish they use real ingredients, but overall they are good with what they are doing, can't complain. But it's not something I would drink often because of what's used to make the drinks. They also have good matcha drinks if you don't mind the artificial flavoring. The shop itself is very clean, cozy, and modern. A very good spot for studying or to do work. I'm happy that they are getting busy.
The ingredients here are very fresh ! The boba was very chewy and I like that the drinks aren’t heavily sweetened. The cashier was very nice when answering my questions and even tho it looked packed inside my order was ready fairly quick. I got the house milk tea with boba and some macaroons, my favorite was the Lychee Rose one! Can’t wait to come again and try more of their drinks 🫰
The owners are truly exceptional, especially since I work nearby and have observed numerous Boba shops over the past several years. Their establishment meets world-class standards in quality and service. Their Boba is outstanding rich, flavorful, and consistently prepared and their drinks maintain a high level of quality every time. Fresno is fortunate to have such a top-tier Boba shop. The atmosphere is modern and urban, perfectly matching their contemporary name and vibe.
Their Thai Expresso is one of the best Thai coffee's I have ever had; they give a lot of drink being 16 or 24oz for only $7's, you can't beat the price! Even their matchas as extremely good quality and they give much more quantity than most coffee spots.
One of the best matcha here in Fresno/ Clovis. Was really impressed of their coconut matcha. Not overly sweet- you can still taste that matcha quality come through, it’s similar to how I make it at home but this was a bit better. Only thing is how huge the size is. Hope they have other options for smaller ones because I don’t need that much or maybe they do offer different sizes I just forgot to ask. Will def be going back to try more drinks. Also saw a lot of students studying there.
