Crema's Take
“Bad Therapy transforms from a relaxed daytime café into a live music wine bar come evening, making it the rare spot where you can grade papers over a cortado in the morning and return for jazz and natural wine that same night. The pastries are legitimately good, the staff genuinely friendly, and the whole operation radiates a low-key neighborhood charm that feels both romantic and welcoming whether you're flying solo with your laptop or meeting friends. This is the kind of place regulars fiercely protect because it does the hardest thing well: it feels like it belongs to everyone who walks through the door.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Open late. Parking available.
