Interesting Cafe in a reclaimed alley. Staff is nice, ended up spending more than anticipated, but definitely wasn't a bad time or terrible experience. The staff seemed to have the confidence and competence on the coffee machines, food was presented appropriately, and i never felt that something was hung up or out of place. That is, besides eating in an alley under the fire escapes and such.

This used to be a hookah lounge and is now a cute Peruvian/Asian cuisine restaurant. Excellent food and cocktails. Great choice of wine. Cozy, chic atmosphere and design indoors. Sometimes they have bands playing outside. My new favorite hangout. Check it out!

Chi Cha rebranded and turned its hooka lounge into a restaurant and a market - a great pivot during COVID. The food is Peruvian inspired. We had their pork belly sandwich - Peruvian Breakfast on the brunch menu, a Peruvian traditional soup - Aguadio de Pollo (I feel like it’s chive but menu says cilantro - it really elevates the soup), tuna ceviche (very japanese inspired and great flavor emphasizing the earthy tones through soy sauce, wasabi and seasame). Their cocktails are worth the price and so appetizing. We got coffee and Nutella empanadas to finish the meal. One takeaway is that, after their rebranding, they have done a great job serving Peruvian food right and well, providing a cozy and lush dinning environment, and offering a creative alternative - a market/cafe where you can grab something home quick.

Chill spot. Lots of hookah. Ask for updated price before ordering food. Menu is not up to date and they may charge you a different fee.

Superb live music and hookah! This is a great place to spend time with friends in an lively, yet relaxed atmosphere. The couches and seating areas were clean and comfortable. We also ordered a few small bites to eat and they were great!! We will be returning.

David, the bartender, is absolutely amazing. His drinks are mixed to perfection, and he is extremely attentive...... which says a lot as I'm here on the Friday night of Memorial Day weekend. He even times the right time to change the coal on the hookah without us having to ask. He really made our experience worth while. While tasty, the serving sizes of the food don't really compute to the size, but they get the job done. If you come, try to get him to serve you, and you definitely won't regret it.

I came here on a Tuesday so it was on the quiet side, but I personally prefer that. I got the chicken nachos and they were delish. I liked the $6 happy hour special. The hookah was on point too. Our service was consistent and our server was friendly. I loved the vibe of this place, the big comfy couches and the old school r&b. The crowd ain't bad either.
