Crema's Take
“Tandem draws a committed crowd for their pressed waffle griddle sandwiches, a genuinely inventive take on the typical coffee shop lunch that justifies the $11 price tag. The cozy, artfully designed space hosts regular events celebrating local creatives, making it less a grab-and-go spot and more a neighborhood gathering place where you'll actually want to linger. Coffee quality is inconsistent (some swear by the lattes, others have walked away disappointed), so come primarily for the food and atmosphere rather than expecting third-wave precision.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Came in on a Monday, I had a Latte and a Breakfast Bagel $11. This place has a great atmosphere, music was awesome and vibe overall is cool. Coffee was ok and food was good. Bar-tender was super nice and proactive. Overall affordable. Definitely one of my new favorite cafes in SA
Will be coming back! Came for the coffee, stayed for the incredible waffle griddle pressed sandwiches. Tandem's cozy urban atmosphere is one typically attributed to pricey dining establishments but this could not be farther from the truth. Seating is very homely and the bar…
Delicious lattes and sandwiches with great service. The decor and seating offers a chill vibe. They have great events each week in support of local creative artists in the community. Give them a visit!
