Stopped by GEM Coffee after getting lunch nearby and was pleasantly surprised to find a cute, modern coffee shop. Service was super friendly, and it seems like GEM gets a lot of repeat, local customers. We ordered an espresso which was a bit too bitter for our taste but otherwise good.GEM has a comfortable interior with a number of tables/chairs, and we saw a number of other guests using their laptops, etc.

Great coffee, beautiful cafe. Located in city heights. I ordered a pumpkin spice latte and it was delicious. Perfectly steamed milk, beautiful microbubbles, and great service. Lovely cafe and will definitely be back! They had a few tables indoors (probably seating like 10-13 comfortably) and lots of two seater tables outside.

This place is truly a gem in the Talmadge neighborhood! It's hard to find good matcha but this place has the best for sure! I love to get the lavender matcha latte and it's always consistently great! Not only are the staff friendly and quick but they truly care about their neighborhood! I've been able to join Marlyn and her crew when they host monthly neighborhood clean ups. It's such a fun time and it feels great to be part of a helpful community of people! This place is a must try!

I stopped by yesterday for a meeting and we sat on the nice patio (umbrellas are provided) and enjoyed a really good cappuccino, in a real cup (not paper!)It was lovely, and Marlyn was very welcoming and friendly. We even had a nice conversation with the gentleman ahead of me in line. It's the type of place where you can get human interaction and it felt really good.I recommend this place without any hesitation!
