Crema's Take
“This serene matcha specialist captures the essence of traditional Japanese tea culture with a modern New York twist, earning particular praise for their strawberry matcha latte and recently launched fruit sandos featuring premium milk bread from Pairing Cafe. While reviews are mixed on their core matcha offerings, the shop shines as a beautifully designed gathering space perfect for lingering over a leisurely afternoon, with standout drinks like their black sesame matcha latte and hojicha earning devoted fans. The spacious, peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal spot to work or meet, especially when you arrive before the lunch rush transforms the intimate café into a bustling hub.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Beautiful spot with great vibes and delicious matcha; we had hojicha latte (good) and black sesame matcha latte (phenomenal!). The only thing that could be done differently is opting for porcelain mugs instead of paper cups for those who order in rather than to go.
Super cute place, we came at just the right time because it got super busy at one point. I ordered a strawberry matcha with whole milk and it was quite good, and sweet. I could taste the matcha. My only gripe is that I ordered a medium and got a small; the employees did offer to…
