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.
