I think I really liked this cafe. The aesthetics were calming and reminded me of the cafes in Europe. The customer service was great and the baristas were patient with me as I’d lost my voice. I decided on the hot caramel macchiato and chicken sandwich. The 12oz was a bit small for the price you pay. I’m not much of a hot coffee drinker but decided to indulge due to my sore throat. It was okay, didn’t taste much like caramel macchiato but it wasn’t nasty. I think I’d have to come back to try it in iced form to see how I really feel about it. The chicken sandwich used sliced deli chicken with tomato, lettuce, cheese, and some sort of sauce/spread. I want to say it was mayo but it had a little more flavor than mayo does. It was pretty mild in flavor, if it had a chipotle aioli it would’ve been out of this world. I have a love dislike relationship with it because even though not a bunch of flavor I couldn’t wait for the next bite. All in the same, however, I wish it did have more flavor. The bread was perfect. It was crisped but not hard and super crunchy so it provided a nice texture contrast and it didn’t hurt my teeth.

The cafe has a food truck that has stopped by on each jewel avenue in dayton road.And I will say, my experience was very lovely. The gentleman and lady running the truck were very kind and since I was very indecisive, they were very patient. And I'm recommended me the best sweet and savory pastries. The chocolate croissant was a lovely made a flaky and soft. And then The savory pastry that I forgot the name of has very flavorful and tender chopped beef and onion mix and the pastry was nicely caramelized and not soggy so it was very well made. I also got a chai latte and was deliciously made as some places have a a grainy residue this chai latte was nicle balanced. I'm definitely making a visit to the café since the truck won't be here for long😊.

I visited for the first time this morning and I will be going back tomorrow! I ordered a raspberry mocha and it was excellent! Also tried to decide between a burrito and the sausage in a blanket... ultimately ordered the sausage in a blanket because it would be easier to manage while driving to work...oh my gosh, the "blanket" was soft, melt-in-your-mouth, fresh, and the sausage was yummy!

Waki and Teki Coffee Bar is a great spot to relax and enjoy some tasty food and drinks. I tried their green chili potato burrito, and it was delicious – flavorful, hearty, and very satisfying. Their pumpkin spice latte was perfectly balanced and felt like the ideal seasonal treat. I also ordered a slice of cake, which was fresh and paired really well with the coffee. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a nice place to visit whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or spending some time to unwind. Definitely worth checking out!
