    I love chaii and is often a go to for me since its so close to my work!! Yesterday I took my boyfriend there, and we had a great time playing their provided board games and snacking on the most amazing peanut butter cookie with peanut m&ms!! I ordered the Spanish latte, per usual and if was sooooo good! My boyfriend got the boba tea and he enjoyed it too! The service was great and this is overall a great spot to come hangout. Parking is ROUGH!! But its well worth it!

    So cutesies! Very spacious, homey, and quiet. We were immediately greeted, the barista gave us good recommendations. And answered all of our questions. I had the Biscoff Latte, I had high hopes. But it was bland, tasted like chocolate milk. Couldn't taste the coffee or the Biscoff flavor. Also it was dead when we visited. But the drinks took 10-15 minutes to be made. However, the samosa was soo delicious! They are made in house. He warmed it up for me and the sauce made the perfect pairing! So flavorful, filled with spices, and filling. I would have bought more but they only had one left. The store seemed to be split, I noticed that those studying or doing work were on the left side. Where there's tables that are pretty spaced out, outlets, and better lighting. The right side is more tight, with comfy chairs and a few games such as connect four and Jenga blocks. It's also where the neon light sign was, the social corner. The area is kind of sketch- But it's worth a visit! I highly recommend trying the Samosas if there's any when you visit. My friend had the Mango Lassi and said it was good. But I'd steer away from their coffee. Personally, I'd only come back if I was craving a samosa.

    Had the best Americano from here and the staff were amazing! The Americano was balanced with milk and not too sweet with caramel. The shop is really nice and cute.

    Iced tea
    Anthony A.

    In the area waiting to attend an event and needed a pick me up. The place is on the corner with a shared parking lot, which is nice not to have to parallel park. The floral / shrubbery interior is fun and it had a good amount of people inside placing orders while others were lounging. Staff was nice, and now I really wish I would of told them it was my first time and asked for a recommendation. I wound up getting one of their iced teas, not sure if it was mango or peach, but I didn't actually care for my iced tea. The flavors were just not mixing well, but I would come back and try the place again to find my go to drink.

    Pistachio latte, 2 pink chaii's
    Jessica W.

    They hand make their chai's and don't use premade powders or syrups. It was so delicious. Place was clean with cute tables and chairs. Toys available for kids. Customer service was fantastic and place is clean.

    Taste so good. Making one by one gently and nicely. Karak chai and pistachio latte Are so good ! It's hot when it served so please be careful when you drink. I like hot drink hot so it totally my style drink. Nice refreshing good flavor drinks A lot of spaces inside. Vert clean cafe ..

    Indoor seating
    Michelle Y.

    Drinks: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Seating: 4/5 Parking: 3/5 Located in a small shopping plaza, the parking directly next to the store is all only 20 minute parking. Since it's right on 65th street which is always busy, it may be better to turn on Broadway street and try to find 2 hour street parking. There are lots of indoor and outdoor seating: tall seats at a counter; many tables with hard, metal chairs; 3 conversational areas of comfortable cushioned chairs around small tables; 3 wooden picnic tables outdoors. Not tested/not pictured is a Gender Neutral Restroom. The music is not too loud; overall, it seems a great place to study, hangout with friends, or relax with a hot drink. When ordering my drink, the staff was very nice and conversational, answered all my questions and helped me pick my order. I ordered Karak Chai with Soy Milk (hot). It was delicious! Not too sweet and definitely woke me up. They do offer a couple pastries if you're looking for a snack. Overall, it's a great casual spot and I'm so glad there's more businesses opening up near Sac State where I think students would enjoy. Will definitely return to enjoy a nice, hot drink in the cold weather.

    Thai Caramel Whisper with boba and Lychee Berry Dream with lychee jelly
    Melissa G.

    I've driven by Chaii so many times and am glad that I finally stopped in today! I came for boba but their food menu made a strong impression. My partner and I were interested in ordering samosas to-go, but the counter service regretfully informed us that they're only sold Friday-Sunday. It was a bummer, but we'd be interested in coming back, given that you don't always find Indian food at a coffee and tea shop specializing in boba drinks and desserts! Inside was cute and comfortable, and outside had seating options as well. My partner ordered the Lychee Berry Dream and I ordered the Thai Caramel Whisper. Both were well crafted, but the Thai Caramel Whisper was the favorite of the two! This combination was not only unexpected, but also delicious. I'd highly recommend and am excited to continue exploring more of their menu!

    Iced salted caramel white mocha with oatmilk
    Danika C.

    The Salted caramel white mocha is delicious!! I got it iced and with oat milk. It's exactly what I was wanting and hit the spot. So smooth and creamy and the salted caramel doesn't over power the white chocolate. It's a seasonal item, but I would be so happy if it stayed on the menu.

    Mocha, cookie, and a chai
    Kevin C.

    Chaii is a really nice spot with excellent service and great chai and coffee We came to check out Chaii after spending time at the giant pumpkin fest in Elk Grove, it was a hot day for October and I needed an iced drink The ambiance was clean and modern there was even a group of friends that I helped take photos for because they really liked the decor I got a iced mocha and a cookie to share with my fiance and a chai for her, she said it's one of the best chais she ever had, my iced mocha was great as well, milky but still had a good coffee and chocolate flavor, sweet but not overly so They offered to heat our cookie which was super nice of them, the cookie itself was loaded with macadamia nuts which was awesome and even though the cookie maybe needed a bit more time in the oven it was still a damn good cookie - my only nitpick about it was maybe they used a bit too much fat in the cookie otherwise texture, flavor, and sweetness was on point

    Thai Berry Dream
    Ashley C.

    The sign has been up for this place for over a year and it's finally open! It's actually a lot more spacious inside than I expected. This is a difficult little parking lot to get in/out of, so I would recommend just parking in the neighborhood nearby and taking a short walk over. I was greeted by the owner upon entering. It was nice to see there were already a few people in there waiting for drinks despite just opening up for the day. There is a great variety of drinks on the menu! I wanted to go with something tried and true but the Thai Berry Dream caught my eye. He told me it was a Thai tea with strawberry, so I decided to give it a shot since I love both flavors but haven't tried them together! There were two baristas and even though they're in soft opening, the drink came out pretty quickly! I went to shake it to mix but it wasn't sealed all the way. Luckily it only spilled on the table. I didn't mind but I decided to go tell them so it wouldn't happen to other customers. They resealed it and it was still open so they tried again. I appreciate them fixing it for me. Hope to come back to try more of their drinks and some of the snacks like Nutella paratha!

    Bagel and Karak Chai
    Alda M.

    The best karak chai I've ever had. Wide assortment of Indian and South Indian drinks, boba tea, and your typical western variety. This spot is legit. Very authentic, no corporate at all. Staff is chill, atmosphere is bright and comfortable. Parking sucks but there's a lot across the street in front of Tacos 65. I hope this place makes it, this area needs more places like this and Tacos 65. Support local businesses!

    Matcha latte
    Moanii Y.

    Stopped by this new coffee/tea shop and it is amazing ! They have hot and iced drinks from milk tea, blended smoothies and coffees. It's a bright, spacious and I love all the vine/ plant decor. The barista was nice and quick with our order and They've got sweet and savory treats also! I tried their new Samosa and it was soooo good! Perfect seasoning and sauce. The Nutella paratha was also perfectly sweet and like a crepe but with a crunch! Super good definitely stop by!!

    Is this place still open? Every time I drive by around 6pm the lights are off.

    Yes still open I was just there a month ago. Maybe their hours changed for the holidays. Best to call.

    Any non-dairy milk options?

    love everything about this cafe, from the food, the drinks, and even the service. the staff is so…read moresweet and attentive and the drinks are always top quality. usually with cafes, i find that the food is sometimes lacking, here however, the food is on par with the drinks! i love their dubai chocolate pastries, but their savory croffle takes the cake. as for drinks, i usually get the ube coconut matcha, which is always exceptional, but today i tried their fish sauce caramel coffee for a change. definitely an acquired taste, but i actually did enjoy it and am glad to have tried it! anyway, dont pass on this hidden gem and make time to try them out, u wont regret it!

    Sweet Oven Bakery is such a gem!! It's tucked into a little center with other businesses, so…read moreparking is easy. I've gone a few times in the middle of the day and it's always pretty mellow, which I love. The staff are super sweet every time. I always get the mango sticky rice, and honestly, no place has beaten it. The chunks of mango are so good, and I love that there's extra sticky rice at the bottom--such a treat to scoop up once you finish the drink. My boyfriend is obsessed with the banana matcha sticky rice. It wasn't on the menu this time, but the worker still made it for him, which was really nice. It's just as delicious. There are plenty of tables inside and some benches outside too, so it's easy to hang out for a bit. Definitely recommend checking this place out!
