Nana’s Green Tea

This Pasadena flagship isn’t the first U.S. location of Nana’s Green Tea, a Japanese matcha chain, but unlike the handful of franchised outposts, this is the sole location to have rice bowls and plates on the menu, plus way more tea options. You’ll likely turn to sipping the hot and cold classics on repeat visits, but it’s the parfaits that may very well draw you in for a first encounter: These tempting sweets layer matcha pudding, ice cream, red bean paste and mochi balls into a treat that feels fit for a birthday.
