Crema's Take

Cafe Lu is a cash-only spot with a deliberately provocative vibe—scantily clad servers and an unapologetic attitude that's equal parts novelty and genuine hospitality. The owner's actually thoughtful (he'll bring you water if you're sweating it out in your car), and the creative drinks like their avocado shake justify the visit beyond the theatrics. It's the kind of place regulars either love for its no-nonsense charm or skip entirely, depending on your comfort with unconventional service.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Parking available. Cash only.

Came here for the first time. Tried their avocado shake and I was not disappointed. Their chicken wings was a little bit salty. Scantily dressed servers are friendly. CASH ONLY place.
