Caffè Chiave is a restaurant with a strong rustic atmosphere and two entrances, on Piedmont Ave and off 40 or 41st, offering a patio and parking. It has a cozy feel with indoor and outdoor seating. The house coffee is smooth and rich, and the prices are reasonable. The breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burrito, panini, and salads are generously portioned. Recent reviews highlight the turkey bacon panini, praised for its fresh bread and delicious taste, as well as the meatball sub with garlic and the selection of fresh pastries. The restaurant is a good casual Italian eatery where the focus is on eating rather than presentation; pasta is fresh, and dishes like alfredo with mushrooms and spinach are recommended for lunch. The chips of the sandwiches are celebrated for their fresh bread and tasty recipes, along with great sauces. The service is generally quick and efficient, and the staff is lovely, though friendliness may vary. The inviting atmosphere makes it a great spot for dining in, especially on the outdoor seating. Parking is available on Piedmont Ave or in the CVS parking lot, and the café is appreciated for being open in the evening, making it a convenient choice for many. The café's oat milk latte is also favored for its energizing effect and chill environment, though it does not offer wifi.
