If you brace yourself for pale green milk whenever ordering matcha in this town, rest assured that’s not going to happen here. This Vietnamese cafe serves exemplary iced matcha and bold coffee in a chic garage-like space that’s not shy on the limewash. Each drink is whisked to order, highly concentrated, and finished with nuanced additions that don’t mess with the sweetness too much, like globs of toffee-sprinkled banana pudding scooped directly from a glass casserole dish in the fridge, or corn cream topped with a delicate waffle cookie. Lines have been known to have traffic-jam-like properties, but on a weekday between 7 and 9am, a quick tea run is possible.
