Crema's Take

Tucked away in Ypsilanti, this spot brilliantly blurs the line between coffee shop and chai sanctuary, with expertly brewed traditional chai that actually tastes like chai rather than a watered-down afterthought. The real magic happens in their creative fusion drinks—think Pistachio Kulfi Espresso and inventive wraps like Achari Paneer—paired with an inviting ambiance and the thoughtful touch of offering generous samples so you can find your perfect match. Whether you're settling in for a slow afternoon with fresh pastries and soft cookies or grabbing something with real substance, this is where specialty coffee culture meets South Asian hospitality done right.

Nice ambience and good music. The Pistachio Kulfi Espresso was great, but the pistachio flavor was very mild. A bit misleading since it was barely noticeable. The gulab jamun cheesecake was tasty; slightly overpriced, but still good. We were seated at a table in the back. Since the staff brought our drinks to the table, we assumed the dessert would be served the same way. We ended up waiting for quite a while, only to realize it had to be picked up from the counter? A simple heads-up would have saved us some time. Overall we had a good time.

I wish they had smaller size of chai tea options available. The regular size is too much for one person. I know for some people it ain't that much but the real standard serving size is 6 oz for the actual chai. The samosas have too taste but only complaint I have with these is that the potatoes are almost always undercooked in the stuffing. Not sure if they are being air fried but needs more time to cook. They are crip enough though. The chutneys that are served with samosas also need big time change. They just don't feel on point. Rest of the selection in the menu is pretty standard. Service is friendly and quick.

Absolutely loved this snack! The chai was perfectly brewed—rich, aromatic, and comforting. The cookies were soft and fresh, pairing so well with the tea. The Achari Paneer wrap was generously filled, making every bite satisfying. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and it felt like a comforting, homely meal. Definitely a great spot for a quick and delicious tea-time snack. Will be coming back again!”

Highly recommend!! This place has the most unique and tasty chai I’ve ever had. You can ask for samples (which I recommend) and they give you little cups with a good amount of the drink to try. The BBQ kati wrap was delicious. Just enough sauce so that it wasn’t leaking out and making a mess everywhere (which I love). It was flakey and super filling. There are two public restrooms in the back that are decent. The tables were clean and the vibes were serene. They have an area for a little photo op which is too cute. The staff members were all super kind. I asked for recommendations on what chai I should get and he did not let me down. The bonbon and rodeo are MOUTHWATERING and so good. There’s outdoor seating available during the warm months and plenty of indoor seating. This business hosts game nights as well so I recommend checking out their instagram!😊

I ordered chai Samosa‘s and a paneer chutney wrap from DoorDash. The food was absolutely amazing. The chai was actually like chai not the stuff that we get at coffee shops. The paneer wrap was a little small, but it was very tasty. Small but might, as some may say. I haven’t actually been to the restaurant, so I don’t know anything about the service or the atmosphere there, but it looks quite lovely based on the pictures. Really wishing this place well cause the food and the beverage that I consumed was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be a frequent Consumer of their food and beverages. They have a few different options for Chai just to specify. I had the Kadak chai, And I had them add Saffron and cinnamon powder Just for a sample to see how It is. But now venture out and try the amor chai and some of the other flavors that they have. Very excited for this place.
