I stumbled upon such a hidden gem of a café I hadn’t known about before. The staff were genuinely kind, and the atmosphere was calm and inviting. They even offer the option to print any logo you want on your coffee or matcha for just three dollars extra, which is such a fun touch. The sandwich was fresh and paired nicely with the side salad.

Carrera Cafe on Melrose is a great spot for coffee and people-watching. I ordered an iced latte, and it came out really good smooth and flavorful. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. My only concern is about their can-style drink cups; they look cool but tend to leak a bit from the top, which can get messy. Overall, though, it’s a solid cafe with good vibes and quality drinks.
