Crema's Take
“Every matcha here is whisked to order with obsessive attention to detail, earning it a legitimate spot in NYC's top tier matcha conversation. The menu is deliberately minimal—traditional preparations executed with the precision you'd find in Tokyo or Seoul—and regulars swear the plain matcha latte rivals some of the city's most celebrated spots. Expect a line and a slower pace, but that's the trade-off for drinks made authentically rather than rushed.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.

I usually only like strawberry/mango matchas and not plain matcha lattes, but this is TOP TIER. Best plain matcha latte in nyc. Rivals Off Peak for me Came on a Sunday at 10:30 am, and there was barely a line, but it started getting busier around 11 am. Overall vibe of the…
WORTH THE HYPE! Their matcha is 10/10. Perfection. Amazing quality, and their service is wonderful. It takes some time, as they make each drink authentically right in front of you, but it’s worth it! Avoid going on the weekends, as I heard the lines get long. I went on a…
Definitely top 3 matcha in all of New York. 12 matcha has an attention to detail that is so refreshing and often seen in places like Korea, Japan, and Malaysia that I’m so glad to see finally come to New York. From their water purification to their privately sourced matcha, I’m…
