Chailo Latte, Roses & Cream Latte, and Matcha Cheesecake
Archie S.

A nice little find in the area when I was craving some cold espresso drinks. This is a stand alone shop with a little parking area in the back side of it. They have a little seating area inside and a little outside area as well. From what I saw on the menu, they have a little bit of a desi flavor inspired since they have Kashmiri chai latte and other flavors that tell me that, which is great! A nice way to infuse the flavors of both worlds. I had tried the Chailo Latte which is chai flavors and espresso dudes together, and also their Roses and Cream, which was really nice with its Cardamom and Rose Cold Foam. The flavors were both unique and fresh with an espresso forward flavor. Along with it, I had also ordered their last Matcha Cheese Cake. It went good with the drinks since it was not overly sweet. Seating is a little uncomfortable inside with the outdoor lounge chairs and the table being so low but those are secondary when it comes to the product they have. Definitely a nice find for caffeine lovers in the area.

Chailo fits the definition of a coffee shop. That's the best way I can describe it. I was delighted to discover that they offer a membership for avid coffee drinkers. The drinks are also prepared thoughtfully and well. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I really appreciated the hangers to hang bags. Service is kind. Sunlight streams in through large windows which I think just adds to the whole aesthetic of it all. If you're looking for a place to study for a few hours, this is also a good place! God bless you all.

I decided to check this place on a whim since I was in the area! And this place didn't disappoint. They don't play about their coffee. Stepping in, the cafe has a lot of seating and I can see how it'd be nice to study in. I ordered Kashimiri Chai and the drink was so light and the cardonom really shines through. Their banana pudding is DIVINE, it is on the sweeter side but it's homemade and you fs tell! They also make their syrups in houseee! I tried the House chai but I ended up prefering the Kashimiri Chai! I'll def be coming back for more since the staff kept raving about their coffee. Sarah and Patrick were the sweetest! Service was top tier, so friendly! and they gave me reccomendations based on my taste. I wasn't familiar with the menu and they gently guided me through my questions.

Coffee and spices blended perfectly for the taste buds. We tried the chailo and the Spanish latte, both were delicious and well balanced. The place wasn't busy, which made it even more enjoyable, with a cozy atmosphere both inside and outside. If you're not used to bold spices, I'd recommend adjusting the level so it's not too strong for your preference. Overall, a warm and inviting spot worth checking out.

Caramel date latte
Jacob S.

Overall we had a good time visiting Chailo the other day! The cafe is a very nice spot, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (on a warmer day, would love to sit outside on the patio). I believe the owner was working there the day we stopped in. He was so friendly, which we especially appreciated since it was our first time. We both got the caramel date lattes. The flavor of this is very nice, but for my preference I felt like it almost had a grainy texture. Will definitely be coming back to try some of the other lattes the offer (banana bread latte? Yes please!)

Stopped by while in the area for the DMV. Unfortunately Chailo didn't open until 9 which was a little later than I was used to for a coffee shop. Once inside, Chailo had a very open seating area with a lot of seating. Once at the counter, I was greeted promptly. I ordered a hot almond milk latte and my order came out pretty quick (I was just second in line though). The latte was the right temperature, but the latte left a bit of an acidic taste on the back of my tongue. It was almost like the espresso was under extracted. I have had espresso from beans that were more acidic, but this was a different sensation.

Unfortunately, we didn't one warning trying to get a cup of coffee, but found out quickly that they didn't have any decaf. Also right before I order they had to turn down another customer because they didn't have rose flavored syrup to make a specific drink for that person, and it was only 9 AM on a Saturday morning. I will be going back because I didn't get to try anything currently I can only have the cat so I'll come back with someone else so we can try some of it and I could take a few tips of the drink so I don't get too caffeinated per my doctors orders. The staff was friendly. The inside is super nice. I love the tile work.

Chailo is a small coffee shop located near Triangular Square in Costa Mesa. They have indoor seating as well as patio seating. The decor is a bit minimalistic and could definitely use some work. The 1 or 2 dessert options they had here looked disappointing. Kashmiri Chai ($6) - Rich, creamy, and not overly sweet. It's a comforting drink that I have made at home. I do wish that they had included a sprinkle of pistachio nuts as well as some biscuits to dip in it it. Overall, I did enjoy my drink and my co-workers enjoyed there drinks as well (Spanish Latte). Overall my experience here was 3.5 but I'm rounding them up to 4 because they are a new business. Hopefully they will have some better sweet offerings in the near future like milk cakes, cheese cakes, baklava, etc.

Vanilla latte with house made syrup
Vu N.

Chailo. They took over the Vegan burger spot in Costa Mesa. Had lots of parking. Plenty of outdoor space. Plenty of seating inside. Lots of potential to be a great coffee shop. Service was excellent. Owners super nice. Very passionate about this project Coffee got myself an iced vanilla latte made with house made syrups. Drink was pretty good. I did want a little more vanilla flavor. But overall a good latte. This place just made me want a little more. I wanted it to feel more like a coffee shop. Once they get the experience down. It will hopefully get to its full potential.

Pistachio cream date caramel latte and pistachio cream matcha latte
Hena L.

Such a yummy spot! There's too many drinks and food we want to try. I will be back. The owner was so kind and very accommodating. He let us change our drinks and we got a pistachio cream date caramel latte as well as a pistachio cream matcha. Both were so delicious and I can't wait to come back. The playlist was playing all kinds of bangers! This can also be a good study spot, we noticed various outlets and tables. There is a parking lot for this building. We tried the carrot cake and that was also so delicious!

House Chai Latte and Hojicha Latte (Oat)
Holly S.

Really enjoyed the Hojicha Latte with Oat Milk. Opted for no agave and it was delicious without sweetness. Love the Smokey taste of the toasted green tea. Will for sure be getting this again soon! Service was a bit slow. There's a small parking lot, so parking might be kind of a challenge depending on time of visit. Inside is spacious, sofa and lounge area, but also a handful of small two person tables. There also a patio area that's quite big.

Kashmiri chai
Brittany T.

I feel so spoiled by the plethora of cute cafes in OC sometimes and Chailo is extra cute! I was on the hunt for a spot where I could do some coworking with colleagues and a quick search with Yelp Assistant revealed that Chailo fit the bill. Free WiFi? Check. Outlets? Check. Plenty of seating? Check. Free parking? Check! And the cherry on top is the drinks are so yummy! I got the kashmiri chai. Its pink hue intrigued me and I wanted something with a bit of caffeine but not a coffee. It was so delicious and refreshing. And the space was surprisingly not too crowded which made it the perfect spot to hunker down and get some work done for a couple hours. I will definitely be back!

Good vibes only, love it!
Om P.

I always fancy myself a delicious warm cup of chai (fresh milk tea with spices) and Chailo delivers none other than that! A fairly new business in Costa Mesa, Chailo certainly delivers and is a great new spot for your caffeine run! The House Chai here is great and really made me feel at home! It has a perfect balance of tea, milk, and spices and not overly sweet just the way I enjoy it. The Chailo Latte also hit the spot as it provided great flavor with a strong yet refreshing taste of espresso. I also really loved how aesthetically peaceful the interior is designed. The baristas were super friendly and they truly cared about our quality of drinks and that was awesome! As a believer and fond lover of chai and tea drinks, I sincerely wish this establishment the best of luck and hope to see more spots serving up homemade style chai and coffee drinks arise throughout Orange County!

This was my first time this year coming in , if I had brought a guest with me I would've been so embarrassed. I don't feel that paying members or guest of paying members should be treated like this . Or am I missing something? It was steak dinner night. My Dad and I had already ate so we just came in for a cocktail. The gentleman that was making the steaks came out and greeted us and was very nice and asked if we would like dinner. That was the only pleasant experience we had. As we were leaving, a lady went to go pick up our drink glasses, which I'm sure she was a volunteer but still I believe she should be nice and not rude. I said I'm going to take the last sip of my drink, she said OK and then you can take it to the bar. I was a bit taken back by her rudeness, saying that in a rude way with the ugly look on her face as well. I took the last sip looked at the bar It was super crowded. There wasn't a place for me to fit in so I said I'm sorry it's too busy at the bar. I set it back down on the table and she gave me a look that could kill. I don't know if I can bring a guest to this place because they're going to be treated like this? I think if you were working or a volunteer you should be nice to the members I don't know what's going on here, Am I missing something? Can somebody please explain this to me?

The very first time I visited this club I felt extremely welcomed. 2nd thing is that this club is not afraid to talk about any topic. They really live by their motto "No topic is taboo" because I heard speeches and talks on very controversial topics such as politics, religion, and sex to name a few. What is remarkable though is how everyone is so respectful of other people's opinion that the club really creates a safe space to talk about anything. 3rd thing is that the members are very diverse from age, race, gender, occupation, family, recreation. There are young 25 yr olds all the way to 65+ both male and female that are engineers, sales, c level executives, students, entrepreneurs, single, married, kids, no kids, as wells as people from all the continents (except Antarctica...nobody really lives there). If anything just visit the club and see what it's all about.
