Crema's Take
“Time & Peace's signature creations—like the walnut cappuccino and Fruit Cloud Americano—showcase genuine creativity beyond the standard espresso menu, making it worth seeking out if you want something unexpected with your coffee. The space itself is the real draw: living room lighting, local art on the walls, and comfortable couches create such a genuinely peaceful atmosphere that regulars describe it as feeling like home rather than a café. You'll find serious coffee drinkers and laptop workers coexisting happily here, plus staff who actually make you feel welcomed rather than tolerated.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

This coffeehouse is one of my favorites. It is quiet and definitely has the peace part covered with the evening living room lighting vibe. They also highlight local artists works on their walls which are also for sale if you are inclined to support these talented individuals.
A beautiful hidden gem in the chinatown/old city area. The inside of cafe is peaceful and well decorated. The staff are kind. I had the Fruit Cloud Americano, an americano with strawberry banana cold foam, and it was delish. They have really smooth and tasty espresso here!
This cafe is a solid spot for grabbing a coffee and getting some work done. I got a salted caramel latte iced, and it was a decent latte. I enjoyed the almond croissant, which the barista was nice enough to heat up without me having to request it. I went during the summer and…
