Simit & Chai Co.

This is a very cute coffee shop with great coffee and baking. The staff is very very friendly and provide prompt service. The baked goods have a Ukrainian/Russian flair and are extremely tasty. They are made fresh on site. As you can imagine the place smells delicious from the fresh coffee and baking!!! A great location whenever you need some caffine or a snack!

Ok the place is good. But $12 for a hard bagel with no sides or even a coffee is kind of outrageous. They also don’t do any substitutions without charging a minimum of $2. If I didn’t live next door I wouldn’t go out of my way to go there.

A pretty place with tasty food and drinks. The simits are so good and so are the coffees! The reason I've changed my review from a 5 to a 3 is due to the management and process. I think it needs some rethinking, especially since this cafe gets busy on weekends and can't keep up with the demand. They should have a table service numbering system instead of just yelling out people's names when their order is ready. There are nice tables and it is a sit-down style restaurant. Therefore, once I'm seated, I don't want to get up to pick up my food and drinks and carefully take them to my table. They should be brought to the table and found via tall numbers that are given to the customers to put on their tables upon ordering like other busy casual restaurants. They also need to pay better attention to dirty dishes left on tables during the busy times. I sat at a large table, communal style and during my stay, two couples came and went from our table, leaving their dishes behind. By the time we were done, the table was over-crowded with dirty dishware that should have been spotted by a member of the staff and removed for the next guest to sit down. Aside from the girl with red hair on cash, the members of the staff looked panicked, unapproachable and stressed. They should hire more staff on weekends to keep up with the demand and alleviate some of the stress on others. I'll continue to come here but I think management should take these tips into consideration.

One of the best simits I have ever had and it was not even in Turkey! The owner was very kind and welcoming, and simit with prosciutto is a delicacy. The Turkish coffee was great. However, in all due honesty, I cannot vouch for their börek, it was very dry.

Ordered their simits for a meeting at work and they were very good! Have also been in a few times for coffee. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.
