    Menu so creative and sleek
    Carolyn M.

    Absolutely love the vibe! Wonderful job it's charming and peaceful and creative. I've been drinking Chico Chai for a long long time and finally stopped by the gorgeous storefront! I'm impressed and can't say enough good things! The decor and feel is unique and charming. I will be bringing friends and family here - love the kids corner and giving tree! Not to mention the lovely little chaihouse pantry! Every detail is just perfect! If you love teas and chai or just cool spots stop by!

    Beautiful place the loved the design and business idea/ model. Something like this would do great back where I live in San Diego. All herbal options no coffee available. Service was great! Thank you!

    Iced chai with oat milk
    Melissa S.

    I came here for lunch and ordered an iced chai with oat milk and a vegan berry scone. The location is so cute and very relaxing. It was a Tuesday afternoon and wasn't very busy so service seemed fairly quick. I would recommend the chai, it was very good. The scone was a bit in the soggy side but was still good. Next time I visit I would like to try one of the roasts as that seemed to be popular with the other people in the cafe.

    This place is awesome for studying, meeting friends, or just grabbing a tea and bite. Lots of seating inside and outside. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Particularly love the kid space!!!!

    Chico chai is my favorite chai ever!! It's got so much spice and it's not overly sweet. The new chai house is so gorgeous and the team is incredible. Sarah, the owner, is a genuinely kind hearted person. I've seen her interact with her guests in the chai house and she's always so bright and full of positive energy. They are constantly coming up with new chai recipes and seasonal toast specials. The Achaar egg toast is my favorite food option here, pretty sure they don't have anything like that anywhere else in Chico. Lastly, the kids corner, so many kids have the chance to sit and color and play with toys. I can't say enough good things about what Chico chai is doing!!! Love it here!!!

    So happy to have the chaihouse open! Fantastic pastries and their toasts are so good! Everyone working there is super kind and helpful. Love to sit on the couches and catch up with friends. You can't help but want to hang out all day. They have a kids corner too so all are welcome! Check them out!

    Matcha latte House chai

    Food was great it's what you can expect, baristas are fun to talk to they also have nice suggestions, And I loved the interior it's cute for a quick eat and drink either to catch up with someone or for a quiet place to finish up some work.

    matcha latte

    the matcha here is amazing! the color was sooo beautiful, it was rich and earthy. the service was quick and the baristas were super friendly and helpful. i would recommend this to any who loves cute hole in the wall places. : )

    I have loved this place since the first time I had a Chico chai latte. Since then, I've bought at least 4 pounds worth of their chai (classic and herbal/non-caffeinated rooibos chai) loose leaf bulk tea. It's funny, I'm from Texas, so I get overly excited for Chico Chai anytime I visit. I had high hopes for the new location and it lived up to every expectation! My only wish is that they had runny egg options. (Maybe I'm wrong and they do have runny options.. I didn't ask!) Other than that, best believe I will be coming to this spot every chance I get!

    Peach, basil, and goat cheese on toast with a matcha affogato. Tasty!

    Fantastic food, cozy environment, good service. This is my favorite cafe in the area! Their chai and matcha are such high quality. I love the atmosphere and all of the plants. The owner is so sweet and always says hi to me and my friends. I love supporting small local businesses especially when they're such a delight to be in. This is a great place to spend an afternoon. I highly recommend it!

    Matcha latte

    Consistently beautiful and delicious. I'm convinced this might be the only place that makes matcha with a whisk etc.

    Confused about whether this is a tea store I can go to or just pop ups at the farmers market? If this is a store can you buy just a cup of chai like at a cafe?

    Hi Chelsie- Sorry for the delay, just now saw your question (we don't get notifications about questions, apparently). I hope you were able to find the info on our website. We mainly brew fresh chai for local coffeehouses, supplying many of them…

    First time here. Stopped in for a quick sip. It was right down the block from where I needed to be…read moreso I took advantage of the location. Walked in to an empty cafe, that soon changed. I must have showed up at the right time. Ordered a cortado from the gentleman who made my coffee as well, and took a seat at the window bar. First sips. Pretty good. Nicely balanced espresso. Mild citrus and floral notes with rich chocolate and brown sugar that lingers on the palate. Medium bitterness, but nice. What a great little spot. BUT then... I finished my coffee and politely asked where I could put my dirty cup, as opposed to leave it where I sat. (Welp... don't expect Dutch Bros-in your face, friendly) I asked the girl behind the counter who was annoyed I bothered her. She pointed and said over there. Which was not very apparent. So I went over in that direction and seen an empty counter. I didn't want to just set it there, so I asked an older gentleman and he nodded and pointed. No words necessary I guess. There was a cart tucked in the corner with an empty bus tub. Nothing points or says please put your dirty stuff here. But I'm going to say that's where they go. Why my question was such a bother was unknown. You guys got good coffee. But your personalities are worse than Eeyore.

Avocado toast with arugula is very crunchy and the balsamic vinegar is delightful, 5/5. Sausage and egg sand-which, very good impossible patty, very flavorful with mild salsa.

I waited 18 minutes and several people came and went after me picking up their orders. I approached the counter and inquired about my order. The barista pointed to a large cup off to the side that was clearly not what I ordered. I politely said "that's not what I ordered" and continued to inform the barista of what my order had been. She just stood there and stared back at me clueless about what to do. The gal who initially took order came over and argued with me about what I ordered! I said "that's not what I ordered, you repeated it back to me when I ordered it...". Her response "well that's what I charged you for". I was dumbfounded, instead of just making me what I wanted they both argued with me and then admitted to charging me more for a beverage that I never wanted! I decided to turn and walk away. I don't need to waste my time arguing with teenagers who clearly have zero customer service training.
