The Chai Spot: Reviews & Ratings
The butter chai Kashmiri is great, but a bit steep at $8 for a tiny cup (8 oz). Depending on when you arrive and the time of day, the fresh chai can take up to 10 minutes to brew. The back room is spacious and plush, although they don't clean or wash the carpet often (or at all). I wouldn't sit here with exposed skin if you are dust-sensitive.
I always get the thai tea, which is great as it has a strong tea flavor and is not overwhelmingly sweet. There's a really nice room in the back that's nice and cozy to chill in as well
Amazing amazing amazing! The chai is so good!! The inside is absolutely beautiful and cute! The staff are very nice and super speedy! The chill zone in the back is absolutely fantastic! They also donate proceeds to a charity. This place is so awesome prices are great just support the hell out of this business! AMAZING CHAI!
Best chai in town, compared to the garbage Kolkata chai serves people. I had the pleasure of talking to the events manager guy. He's always playing lofi wearing anime shirts. Vibes always there when we go. A little costy but it's mahatten, you get to vibe in the lounge with free wifi. I got the iced chai latte with oat milk dirty, was strong but was real good
I went with a group of friends (5 of us) and we had a few different drinks. The Butter Chai is deliciousssss. The pistachio pieces in it are so yummy! I love how cozy the sitting area is as well! I appreciate that there were so many ways we could sit down so comfortably!
Absolutely love this the colorful vibe of this place. Its soo comfortable. You take off your shoes and sit on the wonderful low to the ground couches that make me want to take a nap. The chai is expensive in my opinion, but its accurate in terms of its taste. I dont really see a reason I should be paying 6+ dollars for a cup of chai, but outside of that, its absolutely great. There is wifi and a bathroom making this a great place to study, sit down, and catch up with your friends. You do need to take your shoes off before you enter. The murals, decor, and mirors are stunning, and its quite the lounge spot that sometimes just feels like home. The drinks and food are brought out to you in a timely manner so you dont have to get up. The butter chai in my opinion was too sweet and overpriced, but as a place to sit down and relax, absolutely love this place. Part of me wants to gatekeep it so it does not get too crowded.
