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.”
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.

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…
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…
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…
