The Scoop
Saero occupies Unit 130 inside the Spring Arcade Building on South Spring Street. The owner documented a soft opening for October 17-19, 2025 and now lists daily hours from 8am to 4pm. The signed glass storefront opens directly onto the covered arcade, where benches extend the cafe's compact interior seating. Inside, the service bar and retail wall keep the room spare and focused on the drinks. The current matcha menu uses first-harvest, stone-milled Uji matcha. It includes an unsweetened tea, matcha latte, layered cream-top matcha, two matcha einspanners, and a yuzu matcha tonic.
