“Tucked away in New York, this intimate chai bar is a sanctuary for those seeking expertly crafted traditional and creative tea drinks, with their oat milk chai and masala chai earning passionate praise from regulars. The minimalist, cozy space and genuinely warm service from the owner create the kind of unhurried atmosphere that invites you to linger—whether you're killing an hour before an event or discovering a new favorite sip. It's the kind of hidden gem where thoughtful preparation meets genuine hospitality, and every cup arrives in a beautiful ceramic vessel that signals care from the first moment.”

This place is perfect! Me and my wife were walking to an event at speyer hall and had about a hour to kill so we just looking for a place to hangout while we waited and stumbled on this place! I am a huge fan of Chai so I am somewhat picky. The Masala Chai was incredible! Perfectly spiced and truly delicious! Had a very chill vibe and the guy behind the counter was super nice and just around awesome! Definitely worth checking out if you get the chance!
One of the best sips to be had in New York City. Their oat milk chai left me speechless — creamy, nutty, full of flavor. Perfect hot or cold, for any season. So beyond glad I tried this hidden gem and highly recommend to anyone!
The space is minimalist and cosy. The guy who runs it is friendly and the masala chai is just perfect ! Served in a beautiful ceramic cup and just the right temp and sweetness. Oh the iced earl grey chai is another must try.
Damn! This place is awesome! Just walked in en route to dinner and I’ll definitely be back. The chai is bold and has amazing flavor. The server, Joe, was so friendly and cool. The vibe of the space is so chill!
The inside of this place is really cute and cozy. The service is great and the person behind the counter was really nice. I got the flight, and I’ll say I do think it’s pretty overpriced for the value itself. Maybe I just appreciate more spices, but something just didn’t quite hit for me for the flavors. I will say of all the flavors, the golden milk was really good. Second was earl grey, but nothing I felt was necessarily memorable. I didn’t think the price of the flight was worth it considering that a some time ago the price was $15 and came with an extra chai that was hot.
