Eastern Cafe

After trying to find a comfortable place in Chinatown to stop for a bite while waiting for a ride, we thankfully found the Eastern Cafe. Nice open space with a great upstairs. The staff was super nice to us. We ordered an espresso tonic, a chai tea latte, and their veggie sandwich. It was nice to see that they took their time and put care into each item. While it took longer than one might be used to at other cafes, it was well worth it. The chai tea latte was one of the best we've tried. The espresso tonic was something I'd read about and had to try. It was an experience, looks great and the dried citrus touch was really nice. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the drink, but it was pretty good. Our veggie sandwich was fantastic, just what we needed for an afternoon snack to split. The balance of flavors and textures was great, it was very enjoyable. I'd definitely come back.

Cute space, nice baristas, and really good coffee. I ordered a triple shot caramel machiatto and I loved that it tasted like good coffee, not bitter, and it wasn't overly sweet either. Plus whoever made my coffee (sorry did not see) did beautiful latte art! Loved it. The vibes of the place were welcoming, cozy, and chill too which I always enjoy most. Definitely recommend going!
