I really enjoyed my visit here! I am a huge fan of their Paneer Breakfast Burrito! I highly recommend to order this and it is not just for breakfast, too. The pastries are a bit dry, but ai think it makes sense to have it with their chai. They have matcha, coffee, chai, and refreshers which are essentially sparkling water with flavors. My favorite was the Lavender Refresher. read more

You can't be lacking both in quality(flavor) of your product(chai) - as other reviewers have mentioned AND be lacking in service. Firstly , the place is beautiful, feels upscale but it is dark and dreary, doesn't make you feel like you want to stay in there longer than you have to. Secondly, as a new business, smile more(yes I said that), check in on your patrons, engage in conversation instead of walking around and avoiding eye contact with your customers. Went the first day they opened, it was busy so I can look past the service, the no ginger in the ginger tea, no "karak" in your karak chai, etc...BUT I went a second time a few days ago and unfortunately our experience didn't improve even though we were only one of two customers sitting inside. read more

Absolutely loved Chaiwale & Co! The atmosphere is quite nice, and the desserts were delicious. Dont sleep on the rasmalai tiramisu. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and it's a great spot whether you want to hang out with friends, get some work done, or just grab chai after a long day. Really happy to have a place like this in Riverside. read more

The space is very warm and inviting and the staff was friendly and informative. I ordered the Gulab Jamun Latte (I wanted the Pumpkin Spice Cream Latte but they were out ). It is a Rose, Safron, and Cardamom drink, i ordered it half sweet as the bariata said it was really sweet when I asked if it was a sweet drink. I think i would order it again and try it at 75% sweet as it could've been a bit sweeter for me. It is topped w a rode cold foam and a gulab jamun on a skewer. I will go back as we want to try the butter chicken/paneer burrito and a hot Chai once the weather changes. I was also happy to learn that you can get the Chai with oat milk . read more

I've seen them on TikTok and decided to give it a try. The ambiance was great. Very decorative interior. The staff recommended the zafrani iced chai and I tried the aloo prantha. Both were tasty. The prantha came with a little spicy dipping sauce which was spectacular. I'd definitely come back to try some other breakfast items and their pastries. read more

Stopped by Chaiwala at University Village on a Sunday night, and the vibe here is awesome: cozy, dark lighting, comfortable seating, and a killer playlist. The food and drinks were nice and hit the spot: We had the Kashmiri Pink Chai & Kahwa: Both were aromatic, super comforting, and brewed perfectly. We also had the Rasmalai Milk Cake: Incredible. Soft, rich, and full of flavor. Finally, we had the Pistachio Ice Cream: Smooth, nutty, and delicious. Service was solid and friendly, though they were a bit slow on wiping down the tables. Minor issue aside, the quality of the tea and desserts makes this place a great addition to the university area read more

I was the ONLY person in line. I waited for five minutes while the two barristas simply told me they would be with be "in another moment." I kept waiting while they ignored me and then I left without ordering anything unfortunately. I would have ordered a chai and a cheesecake. Oh well. It's hard to imagine what the wait might be like if there were actually customers lined up. read more

I am picky about chai. Have always been disappointed. I had the karak chai. It was SO GOOD that it made me want to cry. I loved it and can't wait to go back! read more

So we came here, because we saw them on IG. I'm glad we came, because it was do good! I got a Masala Chai drink that the employee recommended. Yo it was really refreshing and tasty. And then I got the Butter Chicken burrito, it was bomb! Then we tried the Kulfi Tres Leches, yeah we dug in before I can take a picture lol! I highly recommend! The ambiance is such a vibe too! Very calm and relaxing. We will be back! The owner and everyone else was VERY kind and welcoming! read more

Samosas were alright, got an ube matcha but unsure if the gave me a regular matcha or it just didn't match the picture (no purple at all) as they use alot of AI on their packaging as well as to enhance their menu pictures (l'll add below for reference) didn't taste any ube which would be frustrating if it wasn't the right drink as ube match is a 50 cent upcharge, the shop itself is nice, seats are a bit uncomfortable and it was a bit warm inside. Overall it's a pass for me, disappointing in the use of AI as their food looks good already so they really don't need it, would rather hit up Tim Boba down the street. read more

It look about 20 minutes to get our drinks. Another 15 minutes to get our desert. The drinks were watered down. The matcha lacked flavor and the chai was nothing special. If you want a great drink, go to Qamaria. More seating, better drinks, and better customer service. Check out it for yourself but don't say we didn't warn you. read more

I visited this place the first week they opened. On their socials they were advertising a 50% off drinks discount for the whole week, which I was not given. I had only ordered one single drink and a premade cookie and was told it would be a 50 min wait. Which at the time I was fine with since they were busy. I left and came back and nobody knew where my order was. Eventually it was found and I did enjoy my tea and cookie, the thing I really don't appreciate though is one socials I commented on their posting about discounted drinks warning people that although the desserts and drinks are good they were not giving discounts, and they deleted my comment. read more

We were so excited to try this place after seeing on social media. Well we were extremely let down. We waited about 20 minutes to get our chai's (no one else was waiting or ordered drinks so it took 20 minutes for TWO teas). We ordered the Kashmiri and cardamom. Once we got the teas we were highly disappointed. Both of them tasted the exact same: watered down black tea. ZERO chai flavor whatsoever. It had more of an earl grey black tea flavor. 3/10. The Kashmiri also was not pink like supposed to be. Service did not seem friendly towards us. read more

Chaiwale & Company Snacks Center is a wonderful place to enjoy authentic Indian flavors in a warm and welcoming ambience. The café is clean, well-maintained, and has a comfortable atmosphere that makes the experience even more enjoyable. The service is friendly, attentive, and efficient, which adds to the overall experience. The quality and freshness of the food truly stand out, especially for anyone craving genuine Indian snacks and chai. The bun maska with chai is an absolute highlight--the buttery, soft bun paired with perfectly brewed chai is simple, comforting, and delicious. The samosas are equally impressive, with a crispy exterior and flavorful, well-seasoned filling. Everything tastes authentic and reminds you of the classic flavors of India. Overall, Chaiwale & Company Snacks Center is a must-visit for great food, excellent service, cleanliness, and a truly authentic Indian chai-and-snacks experience.

The Yelp Page Wasn't Available But I Went To Their Soft Opening On 8/826 And Was Super Excited To Try This Spot, Not Sure If It's Cause It Was Their First Day But | Got A Cardamon Chai And My Girlfriend Got The Masala Chai And They Both Tasted EXACTLY The Same And Slightly Water Down. Good Thing They Were Half Off. Didnt Wanna Complain Cause It Was Pretty Busy, I'm Gonna Give Them The Benefit Of The Doubt, I'll Try Again. The Inside Is Super Nice And Cute But It Was Extremely Hot In There. read more

The drinks are really good and the workers are really nice and friendly! It's a chill ace to sit down and just chat, I would definitely recommend. read more

Such a great addition to the UV plaza. Get the matcha badam milk 10/10. Anna is also super sweet we love her!!!

SOOO PRETTY INSIDEEEE!!! customer service was awesome, the employees are so nice and welcoming! their pistachio latte and ube lassi are super yummy and overall a great place to chill, hang out. and study. I luvvv this place :))))) read more

I really like this new cafe. The karak chai is not too sweet and has a good flavor. I appreciate that they offer you a clay cup for hot beverages when dining in instead of assuming you'd like a to-go cup. It's good to see a cafe prioritize environmental consciousness. The seats are comfortable and it's very cozy inside. read more

Been wanting to try this out. Pretty bummed if I'm being honest. Ordered a ginger chai, couldn't taste any ginger. But it had a weird taste, almost like artichokes for some reason? Really could only taste that and overly brewed black tea. read more

Absolutely love Chaiwale! This location is absolutely stunning and has such a warm, inviting atmosphere. Our family loves coming here, and it's always such a great place to spend time together or hang out with friends. All of the drinks are so yummy and flavorful, and we always enjoy trying something new! The service makes the experience even better. Anna was absolutely amazing! She was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. She made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. Amazing drinks, beautiful atmosphere, and wonderful service. We always look forward to coming back! read more

Though I am happy that we finally have a chai spot, I was a bit disappointed with Chaiwale. The ambiance was nice, I like the vibe and the seating reminded me of Pakistan. But I have to say, even this had a little bit of disappointment as there were crumbs all over the seats. I didn't feel comfortable to be there beyond waiting. Playlist was ok, a little on the louder side. The service was good, but I think there is still some work to be done on that end though as one of the workers spilled our drink while bringing it to where we were sitting. I will also mention, the menu was a bit overwhelming as there was so much to decide between and look up at. As for the drinks - the mango lassi was ok. Very sweet but not what I expected. Cold but very thick. I was hesitant while ordering as I don't usually like very thick lassi and had asked the person taking my order about it. I wish the lassi was thinner and the taste was more pronounced. I also like it when there are little bits of ice in it. Or even at the top. Though that may just be personal preference. I also ordered the rose refresher. It was what I expected: sparkling water with roohafza. There's nothing wrong with that, I think it tastes nice and the nugget ice was nice. But for the price point, I wished there was something more to it. I have yet to try the food/desserts. Overall, needs some work but okay intro to a chai place in this part of Riverside. Would I go again? Yes. The menu is vast and I'm sure there are other drinks that would surpass the drinks I ordered this go around. read more

Went to the orange location many times. Came here to try out and support this location. The chai tea was missing some type of flavor. It was really hot inside . Please don't be cheap and turn on the AC colder especially if I'm trying to drink a nice hot drink. read more

Came on opening day.. the drinks were so bland and watered down matcha! Maybe because it was opening day and they were overwhelmed but such a bummer the drinks weren't that good! The dessert however was really good, we had the pistachio cheesecake and it was really good! read more

So so yummy!!!! I love the mango lassi matcha and the owner is amazing. The ambiance is also so cute and perfect for studying.

The service here is genuinely so good, everyone's friendly and quick, and they actually get your order right every time. The Spanish latte is soo good and the chai is so nice to have at night after a long day . Chaiwale and Co. is officially my new happy place. The vibe is so chill perfect to get work done or chill with friends. read more
