CHAI ADDA

Crema's Take

“This independent spot doubles down on Indian-inspired beverages, crafting chai and coffee drinks with cardamom, saffron, and other spices that actually taste like they belong together rather than gimmicky add-ons. The espresso work is solid enough to stand on its own, but you'd be missing the point if you didn't try their signature chai—it's the kind of drink that makes you rethink what a coffee shop can be. If you're tired of the same vanilla-and-caramel routine, this is exactly the creative pivot worth the drive.”
