The BEST CHAI I've EVER HAD!!! This place has great drink options and also can you make you suggest for items not on the menu. The setting is so charming and calming, you can sit in here for hours and not feel like time has passed. The service was amazing, super friendly and so sweet! This is not my favorite place for coffee and tea and just to hang out! :) thank you for blessing Costa Mesa with an amazing coffee shop read more

Chailo - Chai latte! Best I've ever had! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Shlonak recommended this spot, so I decided to check it out with my family during their Eid Special. We tried a variety of their treats -- all halal and absolutely delicious. The Spanish latte and hojicha latte were especially tasty. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, and the staff couldn't have been kinder. They have placed heaters on their patio to keep customers warm, which is a thoughtful touch. This is a great spot to bring family and friends for a late night treat or to get some studying done during the day. With amazing drinks and exceptionally patient staff, I'm excited to see how this establishment continues to grow. I look forward to come back and explore more of the menu. read more

I ordered an iced matcha latte and it was so mid & bland. I got a mouthful of powder on the first sip, which tells me it wasn't whisked well at all. Also not a great spot to work remotely since the wifi was slow and kept cutting out. read more

Unfortunately my friends and I got three different drinks and they all taste like milk, for example they have a banana bread drink and that sounds so delicious but as soon as we got it there was no taste of banana what so ever, was very underwhelming. read more

I've been super into the show, The Summer I Turned Pretty, lately, and saw that they were hosting a watch party, so of course I made plans with a friend to go. This was my first time here, and I loved it! The way they set up the water party is giving slumber party vibes, and I was here for it. The staff here is also incredibly friendly and helpful! I'm not used to Indian coffee and tea flavors, so the cashier gave me some recommendations. I ended up getting the Kashmiri latte, iced with a sea salt cream on top that was so good! It literally tasted like an extra spied chai. The sea salt cream made it a bit savory, and overall the drink was something unique that I've never had before! The watch party was super fun, and I love the small intimate group that it drew. read more

First time here a cool vibe. I had seen this coffee shop had never stopped by. I recently moved closer to 19th street and decided to check it out definitely recommend the pastries remind me of 85 degree bakery! The service was great for it being my first time! read more

Chailo - Iced Banana Bread Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We've attempted to go 3 times within the hours posted and the doors have been locked.

This place is a joke , went for the first time ordered House Chai it was described as Karak chai ( Indian Style tea ) . What I got was a tiny cup that tasted like bath water ( don't mean to insult bath water ) $6 later I stepped right in front of the store and threw it where it belonged in the trash . Could not get my self to step back into this DUMP to ask for a refund , they could really use my wasted $6 to help this sad place called a tea and coffee shop . read more

This place is incredible! I got the house chai and it tasted just like I'd make at home. They have a cute outdoor patio, it just can get a bit loud with all the cars passing by so I wouldn't go here to study. I'm excited to come back - this will be my go-to chai spot read more

Banana bread latte was amazing! One of the best banana latte's I've had so far. Almond croissant was to die for. My boyfriend and I were fighting for the last bite. The inside is beautifully and artfully decorated. Great spot for studying and a beautiful outdoor area. Small parking lot, but we were able to find a spot easily. The worker was so nice and easy to talk to, made the experience 10x better. We are definitely coming back and hoping that people find and experience this place (although secretly we want it to be a nice small hole in the wall just for us). Can't wait to try the other drinks! read more

Dear Yelp Community, This venue is new, and I tried this weekend for the first time. The business name comes from the chai drink. Spacious. I ordered the Chailo latte, which I enjoyed. Calm staff, and interested in how the drink turned out (quality check). Continued well wishes. Sincerely, Anna read more

The cutest new coffee shop in the area with the sweetest baristas with good music taste (Reem and Maryam) Stopped in for a little pick me up after brunch and the drinks are strong but well balanced. We had the rose and cream, Madagascar vanilla, and Dulce de leche. All were very good but the Dulce de leche was my favorite! Will definitely be back to try more drinks read more

Absolutely ridiculous prices -- $12.50 for an affogato coffee with a tiny portion. The ice cream was just okay. The place was hot and uncomfortable; the A/C didn't seem to work. Served in a disposable plastic cup, which felt cheap for the price. Looks nothing like the photos on social media -- total bait to get people in. With these prices, portions, and quality, I doubt anyone will be coming back. read more

It's brand new and has lots of potential. It's spacious and quiet enough to co-work and stays open late! The best part? The drinks are not too sweet and hit just right, both iced and hot. You can't go wrong with their signature Chailo Latte but do ask them for items on their secret menu like the Brown Butter Latte I tried. read more

This place is amazing. The owner is a class act & is very mindful of his clients & people as a whole. Their baked goods are always fresh & compliment their versatile menu amazingly. To add to it the music & setup is a vibe of its own. The thing that really stood out to me is that there was a kid that didn't have his wallet & he was kind enough to pay for it himself. read more

Was in the area and decided to stop by for some chai. My girlfriend got the iced house chai & I got the chailo latte. The chai flavor is really good & the coffee is not too sweet, which I appreciate.

I wish I could give a happy review here but what I experienced was so disappointing. It was 9:30am, 1.5 hours after they opened and only one girl was working the whole place and it was only her 2nd day. I felt so badly for her that the owner/manager left her like that... she didn't know how to work the register or make the drinks properly. The food was not labeled. When I asked if the banana pudding had dairy, she did not know. Everything was just messy. I took 40 minutes for me to get a chai latte, myself and 5 other women were just sitting around awkwardly and smiling. No music playing. The card reader was dead. The water jug was empty. It almost looked abandoned. There was no "help wanted" sign so if the owner thinks this is an acceptable way to run a business, I'm very concerned for their success. read more

new really pretty coffee spot in Costa Mesa with free wifi and kind attentive employees! what's the most impressive about this place is the coffee itself though! y'all. we go to them all. so far I'm 5/5. kaju cloud, emerald latte (pistachio), spanish latte, hojicha matcha, date caramel- such unique drinks with really impressive and fresh flavor profiles that keep me itching to come back and try another one. whoever is doing their supply chain for these quality ingredients thank you please don't change omg im so happy this place exists now. inside they do need more tables and a trash can in the seating area though lol. im so excited to see how this new business blooms over time. please go check em out!! read more

Really cute and delicious coffee place right off the 55! When I went, the place was not busy at all. Only about 4 other people were there but I can see this place becoming much more popular. The indoor seating is really nice and comfy but limited. I counted a total of about 15 seats inside but there is more outdoor seating on a patio. They have a parking lot but it isn't very large but can fit 10-15 cars. The barista was super chill and introduced us to a new banana syrup they recently made and made us an absolutely delicious iced banana cinnamon latte with cold foam. Couldn't taste the espresso very much but from what I picked up it was pretty well balanced. 10/10 and would definitely come back. read more

Came here because i was looking for a place to be productive in the evening. I couldn't find a coffee shop open past 8 until i came across this place. Vibes and seating was cute and comfortable. they had a variety of different delicious looking pastries and a wide variety of coffee. i ordered the banana bread latte with oat milk and it was so yummy. definitely a 10/10 BUT since it was my first time they offered me their Kajui Kloud latte on the house to try. it was DELICIOUS! The guys that were working were super nice and cool. i love this place! read more

As a Director of Marketing, I always take note of how businesses create customer experiences and unfortunately, this visit really missed the mark. I asked for a sugar-free chai and was told they don't offer that, was given a replacement drink that they suggest I would like. The drink was overwhelmingly sweet and felt like sugar on a cup with ice and pink coloring. Had to throw it out once I walked out. While I tried to get some work done, the girls behind the counter were loudly laughing and talking, which made it hard to focus. The contrast between that and how customers were treated was noticeable my drink was placed on the table with no eye contact or acknowledgment. Short with customers but loud amongst themselves. I usually love supporting and sharing local spots, especially on my social media accounts, but I couldn't bring myself to do that here. Small businesses rely on great service and consistency to build loyalty. I hope this feedback helps the team grow. read more

First time customer, I will be coming back and it wasn't too packed. Definitely good for studying or catching up with friends, such a cozy vibe! The matcha was so delicious:)) read more

Really wanted to like this place but the experience wasn't good. They don't serve decaf so I just got a cookie, which was greasy. The pastries were weirdly displayed in run down looking glass cases. Everything seemed very overpriced for the vibe of the place. The staff was not very friendly, seemed like teenagers that were mostly interested in talking with the group of friends that were all hanging out behind the counter. The ambiance could have been kinda cool, but our seats were located right in line with an air vent that was blasting freezing cold air onto us the entire time. Much better places for the money in the area! read more

New coffee shop and really high quality! I got the Spanish iced latte and it was 10/10 not too sweet and overall very tasty. Highly recommend checking out. If you are in the area, they use a lot of fresh ingredients, house made syrups, and imported spices for their chai. I will definitely be back. read more

Drinks are at or just below market rate - $5.50 to $6 per, which is on par with Starbucks but seemingly higher quality. The ambiance is worth visiting for. You could easily do a photo shoot, hang out with friends and yap for an hour, good place for soft focus studying, or maybe a reading session. They make it easy to want to spend time here which is something I've missed at most cafes recently. Service is friendly, prompt, attentive, and then leaves you in peace. They just opened and the quality is great and they are making sure that all the drinks are to taste and will remake them or modify them if needed. Will come again. read more

their emerald pistachio latte is the most heavenly thing i've ever tasted!!! :3 it actually has little bits of pistachio in it. this means qualityyyyy!! i have yet to find a better pistachio latte in OC. i'm all about supporting brown owned businesses BUT ESPECIALLY when their product is amazing & i just feel like there's no way this drink would be this good if they didn't care. my bf ordered a yuzu tonic. i didn't realize it had sparkling water in it. they over heard us talking about it not being what we thought it was & they offered to make us something new. we declined because it's okay haha but the effort was appreciated a bunch :) i wanna keep coming back :) ambiance was cute & quaint !! read more

this place was on my list for a while since it opened recently, and i'm glad i went! i've been searching for a cafe at that brews real chai lattes, and it didn't disappoint! my friends and i went about noon during the week, and there was no one there so it was nice to be immediately helped. the staff was super friendly, offering suggestions and answering questions as it was our first time. the space was neat and very inviting! in terms of pastries, i would say maybe get there early or call ahead, as there was only a couple of items left by noon, which was a bummer since i really wanted to try their pistachio chip cookie (but an excuse to come back!) for their chai specifically, please make sure you have extra time and patience, as they brewed it fresh on the spot! it took a while to brew, but i promise it was worth the wait! (makes sure to inquire about sizes, it was smaller than i thought) as for the hours, i would call ahead as it seemed the hours online didn't match what was on the door, just for those who like cafes at night. would definitely return! read more
