Crema's Take
“This Indian bakery cafe nails the chai-and-pastry experience that expats from South India crave, with standout walnut cake and paneer pastries that justify a detour even if you're just passing through Santa Clara. The Bombay sandwiches and grilled paneer offerings are inconsistent—sometimes spectacular, sometimes underwhelming—but at pocket-friendly prices, it's worth testing the waters during a relaxed hangout with friends. Come for the nostalgic baked goods and traditional drinks, stay for the genuinely warm service and family-friendly vibe.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
