Crema's Take
“The order-accuracy problem here is real and chronic—multiple reviewers mention consistently getting the wrong drink despite paying premium prices, which is a fundamental failure for any café. The few bright spots (a good chai latte, decent pastries, wifi for working) aren't enough to overcome the inconsistency, and the service feels indifferent at best. Unless you're stopping by purely for convenience and ordering something hard to mess up like black coffee, this is a coin flip that more often lands on frustration.”
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. Wifi.

I love the Chaí Latte with Oat milk. The coffee is also delicious! The staff always makes it perfect and it taste so delicious! The staff is always very nice and friendly and service is prompt. I recently met the owners and they're so humbled people. Check them out downs stairs…
One of the best places on the Northside. Everything is tasty there from the hamburgers, to the Italian beefs, Gyros, and souvlaki. Try the Greek potatoes. I like them more than the fries. All portions are very generous, and reasonably priced.
The coffee is good, the baked goods are okay, and the service is okay. The guy always seems like hes in a bad mood but maybe its because hes working and going to school? No excuse though, they are also a bit understaffed at times it seems. Coffee is good but they could use a new…
