    I really really want to like this place but somehow it's really hard not to (at the moment). Heard about this place and went here on Sunday late afternoon. They're closed for an hr, for whatever reason. We walked around and ate elsewhere and come back to try the chai kettle and some dessert. Came back and it's opened, the place is packed both inside and outside...they do have both seating inside and outside. Th place is somewhat clean, too many people and lack of cleaning by staff. Staff doesn't seem happy to work there with their long face with no greeting bc nor courtesy manner. Heard people was telling that the wait is long and they ran out of thing without letting them know and they just sat "no" and that is that. Good variety choices menu. But decided to just ordered a kettle...yes got the long face and no "hi" now "thank you", just the long face expression of "why am I here". Yes we tipped. The interior is quite nice and mixed for Bollywood vibe. Love it here since it's right on the corner of the strip and both street so quite nice. Waited over 25mins from the outside and we moved inside and I asked if it's will be done anytime and got answer "5mins". When they got it, they just called to come over and pick it up. Okey, so glad that I tipped and didn't order more. The drink is fantastic, but the tables are dirty from previous customers, yup we cleaned ourselves. I would give this place a five easy but with the service, long wait and dirty table...well, maybe next time.

    Absolutely loved it. The Karak chai has definitely improved, I wouldn't change anything now. The Tres leches was perfect. And the other cakes were also tasty. Thank you for the lovely ambiance and great service.

    Masala Chai and Karak Chai.

    Delicious chai tea. We got the Karak Chai and Masala Chai, both with oat milk and no sugar. By far some of the best chai tea we've ever had!

    Love love love this place! Wish they had more of these spots all around SoCal. Such a cozy and cute spot open late night. Perfect for a solo, couple, friend or family hang. Lots of chai options for individual or group drinks. Got the Kashmiri chai which was fire. And good food options too including paratha! Can't wait to come back again.

    It's been a while since our last visit so I was thrilled to stop by for dessert. The place gets pretty busy on weekends. You seat yourself and the layout is laidback and relaxing. We ordered the mango lassi cheesecake and pistachio cheesecake. Mango Lassi Cheesecake- The cheesecake base is rich and creamy. You get a strong mango flavor go balance it out. Overall it's rich with just the right amount of sweetness. Pistachio Cheesecake- This has a lighter cheesecake base with a light pistachio flavor. Finished with crushed pistachios for extra texture. A good pick if you don't like overly sweet desserts. Great experience overall!

    I have been going to Chaiwale since the last 2 years, making the commute all the way from San Diego. Each visit is a pleasure! The chai is fresh and fresh off the stove made to order. It was my first time trying to food! As a vegetarian, I still find great options here such as the butter paneer burrito and the veg cutlets that I enjoyed! It has a cool ambience with classical Bollywood songs in background. The service is great and quick! Chaiwale is one of my favorite spots for Chai in the country of all places I have had chai!

    Pistachio cheesecake
    Zarifa A.

    I discovered this place from a complimentary Yelp experience a few months ago and absolutely fell in love with the chai and desserts here, so much so that during my last visit, I ordered an entire cake for my in laws anniversary. I called them earlier in the day with this request and I was told that although they typically don't sell the entire cake, they'd be able to accommodate the request with what they had available. I ended up ordering a pistachio cheesecake and omg, I was SO impressed by it!! If you're a pistachio fan like I am, you'll absolutely love it. The cake itself was around $50, which is a bit steep but well worth it for special occasions. You can also buy cake slices, which is a more affordable option. The store itself has a warm and cozy ambiance. Service has been friendly whenever I've been here. One thing to keep in mind is that parking in the area is a bit tough in the area though, so be prepared.

    Cute little chai shop in the circle of orange! Well run and extremely friendly staff. They were super helpful and willing to give good recommendations if you asked. Also had some pumpkin bread which was super sneaky good!!

    Carolyn M.

    They make their chai and food in house and they have both savory and sweet foods. I had the masala chai with oat milk today on ice. It was my first time here and for this to be a chai forward tea house I expected the chai to be more bold and potent. I was looking forward to the body warming spices in my tea latte. Maybe because it was a latte the chai was diluted but my drink mainly tasted like a cold black tea - English breakfast or maybe earl grey? Maybe the next time I try this place I'll ask the baristas to ensure the spices are in there. Their chocolate chip cookie was delicious and I can't wait to try the rose pistachio cake.

    Saffron Chai 12oz
    Christine A.

    Wow, as someone who's always been iffy about chai, I really enjoyed the flavors here! Chaiwale uses actual blends rather than powders/tea bags that other places might opt for, and it really shows through the deep and rich flavor! Their mango lassi was not really my favorite so I don't know if I can recommend that, but definitely try the saffron chai! Yum! Their kulfi tres leches is to die for too. As far as the service, in the past two times I've gone, the staff were easygoing and answered my questions. I also really enjoy the space itself - especially in the daytime since two of the walls are glass. Overall cozy vibes, good amount of seating, and tasty treats

    Such a cute spot to grab a chai to sip on as we strolled downtown Orange. I tried the karak chai and there were times when it had an almost savory taste to it, it was really interesting and not overly sweet but had a lot of great spice to it. I paired it with the rose pistachio loaf. Usually with rose flavor, the concern is that it will be overly rosy with that artificial floral flavor, but that wasn't the case here. If anything, I thought maybe they could go a little heavier on the flavor as it was really light to me. Staff were friendly and there's a lot of seating space here inside and outside.

    Cardamom Chai

    This place is beautiful, however the drink I got Cardamom Chai had zero flavor, almost as though it was watered down-- I ended up throwing the entire thing away. The staff was friendly.

    1. The burrito was filling! The dessert was really delicious with lots of flavors! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is spacious and nicely arranged! 3. There are indoor and outdoor seatings! There are a good number of tables available! 4. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It took about 10 mins! 5. There are free parking lots and parking structure available! There is a time limit! Note: There is a restroom available for customers!

For 4 cheesecakes and 2 cream pies, I was $50 out the door. Safe to say, this is a bit of a splurge. For a "healthier" alternative, I may end up here again. But to just be craving sweets, you'll find me somewhere else.

I had expected the business to be in a more high volume area, however a benefit of their corner spot was that the parking lot had plenty of spaces. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor tables were set up along the north and east perimeters of the building. I was by myself at this latest visit, and it was close to the end of the day so the inventory was quite depleted. There was no line at all which was not a surprise. The famous Strawberry Croissants and prepackaged items were on refrigerated display to the left when you walked in. As the service counter rounded a corner, there were more fresh baked goods on display before you reached a register. Across from the registers were shelves containing bags of fresh bread products. I bought a Strawberry Croissant, a Sticky Bun, a Ham and Cheese Croissant, and an Apple Croissant. The quality of the pastry dough was very good, and I could see why the Strawberry Croissant was a favorite with the customers. The croissants were light and flakey, and the powdered sugar added a delicate topping to the strawberry version. If I were to rate on just the Strawberry Croissant, then it would be five stars. My overall rating was downgraded because of the customer traffic flow. The lines can be optimized so that if you wanted to buy a six-pack of the Strawberry Croissants and/or anything prepackaged, then a separate queue should be arranged for those customers. The cafeteria trays were of limited use if you were not getting a large number of items. As you advanced in the queue, other products had to be requested from a worker behind the counter and then those were not placed on the tray. Ultimately, I think they can configure the operation to more efficiently handle the higher volume periods of the day.
