    Ordered. Karak, saffron, cardamom, and Kashmiri Chai. Also tried the following snack. Loaded fries with Paneer and the chicken mayo garlic paratha. Ashwini assisted us and she was super sweet. The teas are amazing. Just like made it home flavors and spices are perfect. Ambience is beautiful. A must-see!!! KARAK CHAI IS THE BEST!!! Loaded fries DELICIOUS!!!

    OG lemonade one of my favorite drink! They have great service and make every Costomer feel very comfortable! The music they play will lift your mood up after long trying day work! You must go and try this family chai shop with your love ones!

    The cola.  Haven't tried it yet.

    We ordered: 1) cardamom chai - 5/5; lots of cardamon flavor; 2) saffron chai - 5/5. Really good flavor; 3) masala chai - 5/5. Lots of spices; 4) chocolate croissant - 2/5. Maybe due to when ordered but was very dry and dense; & 5) sf cola- ??; haven't drunk yet. Love the fact all chais unsweetened and you can pick what type and amount of sweetness to add. They had honey, sugar, Splenda & Stevia. We will be back to try more.

    That a great menu

    Great locals only iykyk spit in the neighborhood. Easy walk from bart to meet friends. Comfortable sassy mid modern fresh and clean.

    Iced karak chai

    How is this even possible? I ordered a Karak chai and the drink that came tasted like milk, with almost no tea flavor! The word karak means strong, but they basically gave me a cup of milk. I had to walk to Chaiwalla on the next block to buy another cup because it was so bad that I threw it away. Terrible experience, definitely won't come back. I'm appalled that they even call this chai.

    We had saw they had a soft opening the other night. It has opened today and it is really a nice cozy place. We had 2 x Chais and a Cake Rusk bread dessert. Also had ordered the Gular Juman sweet dessert. Hassan the owner was really nice and it was packed opening Night. The staff is very friendly and attentive. It was a little crowded inside so we sat on the patio. Late hours the weekend till 2am and 11-12am closing week days. They had all sorts of options for food and desserts, as well Chais definitely will go back and try more their diverse menu.

    Cardamom chai with oat milk pretty hot and delicious !

    Couldn't splurge too much this first time for health reasons but when I come back I'll be sure to try more things! The cardamom chai and mango lassi I tried was pretty got danged delicious. Chai was extra hot just like cafe drinks should be! Service was friendly. Ambiance was great for families, friends, & doing any work. I'll be back!

    Loaded fries, cardamom chai, karak chai
    Simarran R.

    Super cute cafe. Great place to come and hang out with friends. They have board games. My nephew loved playing while we had our chai & snacks. The Kashmiri chai was my favorite. My mom loved the Karak chai. Cardamom chai was nice too. The loaded fries were delicious. Heavy and filling, but good. I definitely want to try more of the snacks next time.

    Saw this place on tiktok and decided to give it a try. The decor inside is cute and so is the furniture and tables. Snacks seem like it was bought from other stores and just placed there. The Ghol Gappay shots were yummy. the pastry puff alo (potatoe) was cold! Seems like they tried to quickly warm it and give it to us but it was cold. Service was alright, only one worker in the front so can take some time. My mom enjoyed her kashmiri chai.

    Games!

    Loved trying this new chai and chaat cafe! We tried the ginger chai in the matka (clay pot) and it was piping hot and delicious. Love that this place had games as well, while we waited for our order. We enjoyed a game of chess and chitchat with the owner! We tried the mayo garlic chicken paratha wrap, aloo puff, and samosa chaat. I have to say that I've been waiting for a Desi pastry and chaat shop to open like this for a long time, and so glad it did. Although the staff is still figuring out their way and it was a bit of a wait for our food, we thoroughly enjoyed each dish and felt that the staff were so warm and welcoming. Feels like a neighborhood spot in the making! Will be back!

    If you haven't been here yet, you are missing out! This is my third visit and every single menu item I have had had been outstanding. I brought my ten year old this time and she loved the kid's meal and peach refresher. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. It is also nice to support a locally owned small business instead of the corporate chains.

    Great spot for some delicious chai and snacks. Tried their malai boti roll, fiery chicken sandwich and kadak chai and everything was great. This will be our go to spot for chai hangouts. They also have games to play while waiting on food and the indoor seating is pretty well designed. Overall loved the experience and the service was pleasant.

    I originally went out looking for a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich and Googled "good breakfast…read morenear me." This spot came up, and although my wife and I have driven past it many times, we've never stopped in. Today, I decided to finally give it a try. After looking through the Google photos, I changed my mind and ordered a breakfast plate instead of a sandwich. Parking was a little challenging. I arrived around 11:00 a.m. and had to circle the block a few times before finding a spot directly in front of the diner. When I walked in, I wasn't sure whether I should seat myself or wait to be seated. All of the waitresses appeared busy, so I stood near the entrance. Once she was available, Marianna greeted me. Initially, I wasn't a fan of being asked whether I was picking up food rather than whether I was dining in or taking out, but I quickly realized they may be accustomed to regular customers who already know the process. Since it was my first visit, I explained that I wasn't sure if I should seat myself. Personally, I think a sign near the entrance would be helpful for first-time guests. Since I was dining alone, I chose a seat at the counter and ordered the Sugar Plum Special with cheese grits and sourdough toast. While waiting for my food, I noticed something that concerned me. The staff did not appear to be wearing gloves, and I observed food being handled after touching various surfaces, including condiments, plates, glasses, and trash areas. While I understand that food service relies heavily on proper handwashing practices, I personally felt uncomfortable watching bread being handled directly by hand. I requested that my toast be handled with a utensil instead, and my request was accommodated without issue. When my food arrived, my eggs were cooked exactly as requested--scrambled hard--and the bacon was perfectly crispy. The bacon was a little saltier than I personally prefer, but that's more about my taste than the preparation. Overall, both items were flavorful. Now, let's talk about the grits. I come from a strong Southern background, and we take our grits seriously. The presentation was fantastic. The butter melting on top and the cheese looked absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, the texture wasn't there on the first serving. The grits were noticeably gritty and undercooked. After a couple of bites, I sent them back and requested they be cooked a bit longer. One of the waitresses explained that customers typically need to request the grits "well done." That was surprising to me because I've always believed grits should naturally be cooked until smooth and creamy. In my opinion, that's how they're meant to be served. Thankfully, the second batch was much better. While they still could have been stirred a bit more, the texture improved significantly and was much closer to what I expected. I also want to recognize Marianna for her excellent service. She was accommodating, attentive, and handled my concerns professionally throughout the meal. Overall, I would return. The restaurant has a warm, family-oriented atmosphere and an old-school diner feel that is becoming harder to find these days. It reminded me of the kind of place you'd visit after church on a Sunday morning or somewhere you'd go with your grandparents for a comforting home-cooked meal. While there were a few areas that could be improved, the welcoming environment and friendly service left a positive impression on me.

    This location is usually busy whenever we visit, which speaks to how popular it is. The staff has…read morealways been friendly, helpful, and willing to assist. My only concern is that the internet seems to go down fairly often. We've experienced it several times over the past few months. Other than that, the overall experience has been very positive.

    What Happened to the Choco Bun?…read more Plenty of free parking. When you walk in, grab a tray and window shop all the pastries. They individually wrap these so grab what you want and place it on your tray. Once you're finished, cruise up to the counter. Would I Come Back? Yes, I keep coming back. I use to come back for the Choco Bun, but if they've changed the recipe at all locations, I'll only be coming back for the Milk Bun and Nougat. Their Signature Item: Egg tarts are their signature item. If you've ever been to an Asian party, someone almost always brings a box of egg tarts from 85-Degrees. But on today's visit. Well, just look at the photo. Someone stepped away from the oven for about 6 minutes too long. Choco Bun ($2.55, Grade D): The Choco Bun has been my absolute go-to for years--the closest location to me is usually the South Sacramento store and I tell everyone they have to get it whenever they visit an 85°C. Unfortunately, it's been about 8 months since my last trip, and the Choco Bun is no longer something to write home about. Milk Bun ($2.05, Grade A+): If you've ever had their Milk Bun with the custard filling, the Choco Bun used to be very similar in texture. Now, it's flat with super dry edges. Not good at all. Luckily, I also bought a Milk Bun (my usual second favorite), and by default, it's now my number one because the Choco Bun was a complete bust. It's so fluffy and sweet. Melts in your mouth. Strawberry Banana Smoothie / no boba ($5.85, Grade F): It was incredibly artificial-tasting--nothing real about it. I only made it through a quarter of it before throwing the rest into the garbage. My fault for hoping for a "just picked" fresh fruit taste, but this was honestly one of the worst smoothies I've ever had. Nougat ($9.60, Grade A+): The bagged Nougat candy is fantastic. It's soft, gooey, and packed with what I'm guessing are pieces of pistachio. Delicious, but a fair warning if you have dental issues: these will wreak havoc on your teeth. It's not quite as sticky as a Starburst, but it could definitely pull out a denture! Bottom Line: The staff here is friendly, and there are still a few standout 5-star items that make a visit worth it (the Milk Bun and the Nougat). However, the disappointing recipe change to the Choco Bun and the absolute miss on the smoothie knock this down to a 3-star experience overall.
