Crema's Take
“Chai-Wallah's signature chai and elevated Indian breakfast sandwiches like the chapli kebab are genuinely excellent, but service can be maddeningly slow and inconsistent depending on when you visit. The space itself is charming with great artwork and vibes, making it worth trying during quieter hours rather than peak times when the kitchen gets overwhelmed. If you catch them on a good day, the food and drinks absolutely justify the hype—just don't expect speed.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Good for meetings spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Parking available.

Outstanding food and chai. Try chabli kebab sandwich
Amazing food, authentic chai, chai wallah latte was delicious. They recently expanded the menu and we tried breakfast pizza as well as chapli kabab sandwich - we love it - Staff is great and helpful, Monserat was so pleasant. Am gonna be a regular for sure!!!!
