Cafe Menu

We serve a variety of chai that ties together many regional traditions as well as personal recipes! Every variety is made fresh in small batches with whole or freshly-ground spices and tea coming directly from small farms in India. You’ll also find all your favorite coffee drinks, a wide selection of herbal teas, fresh juices, and an Indian-inspired food menu.

Tea, chai, chai tea – you’ve probably heard all of these terms but might not be sure where the distinction lies. While you don’t have to understand the history, varying traditions, or exact definitions to enjoy a cup of chai, learning a bit more might make that next kulhad taste even better.
