A low-key café in Chinatown. I grabbed an espresso macchiato for a quick caffeine boost, but the real standout was the tea selection. We shared a pot brewed with dates, longan, and goji berries - it was soothing, naturally sweet, and incredibly satisfying. The space is simple and spacious with plenty of tables and a bit of retro charm. A great place to work and unwind.

It is a good place to read while you're reading a book. It is quiet. They have a great menu with different kinds of tea and other infusions alternatives. I really love the Japanese rice tea

Nice spot to have a quick tea or coffee and chill out for a bit. I had some time to kill so I came in and had some iced lemon tea which was great.

I will always sing my praises to Silk Road Café. Objectively one of the best hidden secrets of Chinatown. The workers are lovely and sweet, the atmosphere is intimate and quiet, and the quality of the drinks is always outstanding.

Quaint spot , no frills, sweet and accommodating service. Good wifi too. I had a pot of jasmine tea while I got work done. I heard the lady at the front help everyone with a smile on her face. This place is a treasure and I’m glad I got to visit!

My favorite matcha ordered to date. Coming from your neighborhood matcha fiend, this matcha was incomparable to any matcha I’ve ever made or bought anywhere. I got it lightly sweetened with honey (which I don’t normally do) and it was just such a perfect matcha. Very reasonable prices for a coffee/ tea shop of this caliber and experience. Side note: matcha is not on their menu, you have to ask!

This is a very interesting cafe, that has a general seating area next to the coffee bar and gaming towards the back of the building. A pleasant selection of specialty teas and coffees and side dishes. Their coffee with foam milk and a sugar substitute — out-of-this-world! Located on the ever popular Mott Street venue, it’s a great spot for Asian students to come to, to get their homework assignments done. Definitely recommended.

I loooooove this place so much! It reminds me of tea shops in Taiwan. 🤗 The staff is super nice and it’s the best place to chill and get some work done. The tea is always amazing!
