cafe next to Martsa's on Elm Street?

The storefront next to Martsa's on Elm Street, which I think used to be a hair salon, is now some sort of café. Has anyone here tried it yet?

It's a Tibetan coffee/tea shop, owened by the Martsa'a folks. I've been there twice and I like it. I can recommend the spring rolls and muffins, as well as their chai, which they brew in-house. I haven't tried to soups or sandwiches yet, but I plan to.

I went in the day they opened. I just got coffee and a muffin, but they had a lot of interesting-looking stuff in the pastry case and the people were very nice. Not a lot of tables though.

I've been in there a few times now and loved it. I liked the food a lot, and it was great value for the money in this area.

The food is great. The coffee drink I had was truly horrible, and apparently a "large" means "put it in a large cup and add more foam." I mentioned my unhappiness to the waitstaff, and they just shrugged it off.

They're still very new, and very much learning how to run a cafe. I'm not surprised my drink suck, given how much confusion they had behind the counter, and how much time they spent running into each other. In general, they
need to get their flow down on both sides of the counter.

I'll buy their food. It'll be a long time before I give them another chance on the coffee though.

love martsa's so i have good feelings about this cafe. i had the churue soup, which was really good. and chai latte with soy milk, also good. i like that it's vegan friendly :) it was nice and calm in there, but i guess when it starts getting busy it would be harder to sit and talk.

I quite liked it, and found the service to be very polite (contra mrcairo). The masala chai was excellent, with no hint of beef broth.
