Crema's Take
“LVL UP serves legitimately excellent loose-leaf teas and made-to-order drinks that justify the care they put into their craft, paired with pastries that regulars actually rave about. It's the rare specialty coffee shop that nails both the beverage program and the vibe—bright, genuinely quiet enough to work or read for hours, with staff who treat special events and everyday customers with equal thoughtfulness. Go if you want quality over Instagram aesthetics, and don't sleep on their tea selection if you're not a coffee person.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Nice, quiet coffee shop where you can grab a table and work remotely or read a book. They have a Book Club, so check their website if interested. Drinks are good and made to order. Pastries come from outside places so they aren’t made in house. Street parking (metered).
Hosted a film fundraiser in this beautiful space back in June, and couldn’t recommend them more. They were amenable to the many changes that come with event coordination and made the evening run all the more smoothly. Appreciate you, Nigam & Wendy!
I like this place a lot. It has a great vibe and a bright atmosphere. My only critique is that on multiple trips there, there has been a lot of empty space in my cups. I only order tea lattes, so there is no room necessary for cream to be added. From looking at cups in other…
