Chad's Chai
617 N Liberty St, Winston-Salem, NC
Crema's Take
“Chad's Chai in Winston-Salem is a thoughtfully designed tea haven where the chai lattes are the real stars—smooth, balanced, and never cluying, whether you're ordering their signature vanilla chai or adventurous creations like the Campfire Latte that converts coffee lovers. The space itself invites you to linger with well-decorated interiors and a genuine slow-sit atmosphere, paired with quality pastries like their pecan orange cranberry scones that locals can't stop raving about. It's the kind of intentional, cozy spot where the staff clearly knows their tea flights and loose-leaf selections, making it perfect for both casual meetings and quiet afternoons with a friend.”

I would recommend the London Fog; it’s light, refreshing, and aromatic. The pecan orange cranberry scone and chai chocolate chip cookie were yummy. Interior is well decorated and there’s a reasonable amount of seating, mainly 2 person tables inside and some 4 person tables outside. Food and drinks were served very quickly.
Chad’s Chai is such a cozy, intentional space and instantly makes you want to slow down. I ordered a chai latte that was smooth, comforting, and perfectly balanced—not overly sweet—and paired it with the chocolate chip cookies with chai, which were deliciously chewy and rich. The atmosphere is warm, filled with natural light and greenery, and feels perfect for a quiet moment to yourself or a relaxed catch-up. Best for: slow mornings, journaling, or a cozy coffee (chai) date. A true local gem and absolutely worth the visit.
Came in today on a whim while on a walk with a friend. We both got the hot vanilla chai latte—hers with almond milk, mine with whole milk. They were both excellent and we drank every drop. We both commented how tasty the drinks were. The location is very cute and welcoming. It is spacious with plenty of seating and an overall inviting vibe. Can’t wait for my next visit to read and chill out for a bit. Perfect cozy season location!
Excellent tea House with several varieties of chai and other tea. Impressed they have tea flights! Beautiful presentation and they really know their stuff! Loose leaf tea available for sale.
This is the perfect place for Tea, Latte, my Ultimate Favorite is the Campfire Latte. First, let me say - I thought Lattes were for coffees only! But this one Campfire Latte is Everything! I've been here too much in the last week! They have the perfect presentation on the clear tea pots and the Japanese Bread and the Chai Chocolate Chip Cookie is the best. I've had the morning bun and it's perfect not to sweet if your watching your calories and want a perfect morning or anytime treat. The ambiance is perfect Morning, Afternoon, and Evening!! I love everything about this place!! The staff is friendly and professional!! The restrooms are clean! My little slice of happiness and perfection one Japanese Milk Toast with Tea Butter and Campfire Latte at a time! 🥰😍🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks to Emily of Politisit for the recommendation!!
