Crema's Take
“Hungry Ghost Coffee trades on a striking aesthetic and cozy vibe that draws people in, but the drinks themselves are inconsistent and sometimes poorly executed—reviewers have flagged overly sweet lattes, sour matcha, and misleading matcha preparation (green tea powder passed off as real matcha). Service can be warm and attentive, and the pastries occasionally impress, but quality control on the coffee side is genuinely the weak link here, making this more of a spot to work or meet friends than to come for the actual coffee.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Dog friendly.

I was walking around the neighborhood then I saw this cafe with a dog logo which is so cute, the place is so beautiful it has a quiet atmosphere which I’d say it’s a really good choice for those people who have to work. My matcha latte with soy milk tasted so good! The cafe is…
