Stopped here to study for a bit and got super lucky and found a parking spot right out in front! Service here was great, staff was engaging and our orders were out quickly, despite it being pretty busy when we got there around 1:30p. We lucked out a second time when we got a seat in the back right as people were getting up to leave! I got the Blue Moon Mojito and Aidan got the Tiramisu Mocha. I really liked the mojito, it had plenty of fizz and a nice raspberry/lime flavor combination. I would recommend getting this to anyone who is a berry refresher fan- nice and sweet! Aidan loved his drink as well and said it was in the top 10 coffee drinks he's ever had. We also came hungry and got the BBQ chicken flatbread. The chicken was pretty dry on it, so I did go up and ask for some more BBQ sauce and they were nice enough to give me that and some chimichurri sauce to try. When we ordered, we asked what came on the Flatbread and they had told us there was lettuce, tomato paste, chimichurri sauce, and BBQ, but looked through the whole thing and couldn't find the sauce. Along with the dryness, the dish itself had some spice to it, so I will probably get something else next time. Besides being busy when we arrived, it slowed down around 3p and made for a peaceful place to do work. We did notice our table was pretty wobbly which Aidan thinks is worth a mention because it made it more challenging to study, but overall, the vibe was clean, bright, and had plenty of comfortable chairs. read more

Stopped by to get a drink and I must say that it was good but not great. For the price there are definitely better options but i still enjoyed it! read more

CupsnChai is a very cute cafe on 4th Ave. The concept is somewhat unique with lots of interesting chai options I've never seen anywhere else. I tried the tiramisu chai, which was absolutely delicious with hints of chocolate and cinnamon. Service was very polite and speedy. I would definitely go back. Word to the wise: they offer a free drink on your birthday if you show ID. read more

CupsnChai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

We went to this place after our dinner. My friend had recommended it as she'd come here quite often since she recently lived to Ann Arbor. This place is considered an Asian chai place and it was absolutely delicious. When I got to the trustee to order I was so taken aback from the menu that the very nice gentlemen offered samples for me to try. The chai here was unlike any tea I've ever had. The flavors were absolutely amazing. The chai and dessert we tried was unbelievable. Absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to go back. read more

Super yummy chai like mu family makes. I stopped in to get warm but also check out this new spot in downtown Ann Arbor. They serve up different kinds of chai plus also have a small variety of snacks and food. The interior is modern and sleek. I got the masala chai with sugar - it was good! A touch too sweet so may get it without next time but the spices were warm and inviting. The staff was very friendly and service was quick! read more

CupsnChai - Masala chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

New spot right by chimney cakes! I love chai and am happy to see cupsnchai expand from Canton to downtown Ann Arbor! They tout themselves as a "A South Asian Chai Cafe, with a Modern Twist." They have sooo many chai option and I ended up going with the Zafrani Chai which is the saffron chai. Super unique. A little on the sweet side for me so I'll ask for adjustments next time on sweetness. I'll probably just order the classic Karak as well. Service was fast, friendly and patient with my wide eyes as I tried to decide haha. My friend did also order the Peri Peri chicken wrap which looked tasty but was a fairly small portion. Another friend also tried the Double Chocolate Cake (Chocolate dream cake with layers of decadent chocolate cake with velvety chocolate mousse and luscious chocolate ganache.) which he found too dark chocolate for his liking but I could see how this would pair perfectly with tea! read more

Stopped in on a hot day and got a flavored lemonade. It was really good and refreshing, but the ordering process was cramped and chaotic. Would stop in again, but only if I order ahead of time or are dining in. read more

Absolutely exquisite. went here with the gals on a Friday night. Love that they are open until 12 AM such a rarity these days. it was popping inside, even though it was almost 11 PM, but love to see local business businesses being supported. Will definitely be coming back for the vanilla latte. unfortunately, my friend had a Matcha and it was subpar so maybe stick to the coffee. they're also weren't any seats, but I don't know what you could do to resolve that. look forward to seeing them maybe implement a new Matcha recipe. update: the employees were super, super sweet, and they offered to remake my friends Matcha without her even asking. don't try the cinnamon Matcha go for something else. Overall wonderful experience. read more

Warm, clean, well lit establishment. Friendly professional staff is accommodating to first time visitors making suggestions and allowing a small sample to narrow down the fantastic choices of Chai latte. We met the owner Noman and he is passionate about both his business and product quality. We had tiramisu and bon bon chai lattes. Both were excellent and the vanilla taster was equally desirable. The perfect drink for a cold morning! The tea cookies were crisp and exotic flavored. A great break destination when in town. Highly recommend! Took some to bring back home! read more

Me and 2 of my friends went to cupsnchai after seeing it on tik tok and I was very disappointed. The space was very crowded and there wasn't anywhere to sit, which wasn't necessary their fault, however, they were acting very pushy. Ensuring us a table would open up in 5-10 minutes when how would they know that?! The chai was also decent but very milky and underwhelming. The service was odd, overbearing, and I definitely won't be back. Don't recommend. read more

I have come here multiple times and worked for multiple hours here. I have not had a bad experience yet, the staff and owner are always super nice! Highly recommend as a spot to work and study or hang out with friends to talk. read more

CupsnChai - Strawberry Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I adore this place. It met all my expectations. I was offered 2 delicious samples of their chai, the Amore and the Masala. As expected, Masala was spicier and Amore a warm vanilla hug. The owner also kindly made suggestions for wraps I could try. I had the spicy chutney and he was absolutely right. I love spicy, green chutney. The ambience is terrific. The decor is light, bright and beautify. You can see from the photos it's a classy combination of white and gold, with neutral taupe, distressed velvet chairs and light green velvet benches. If you come here, please keep it pristine so we can continue to enjoy the lovely decor. Also, if you have any interest in medicine, I saw a sign for a physician networking event hosted here. Hahaha! In summary, I'm thrilled to have this independent shop in the neighborhood and I'll be a happy regular here. read more

Amazingly delicious chai, highly customizable, chic atmosphere! Def would recommend this place for a tea break.

CupsnChai is a new coffee shop in downtown Ann Arbor and a welcome addition to the food scene. It is marketed as a chai cafe and that is certainly accurate. I have never seen so many varieties of chai lattes in one space. The staff happily offered me a sample of three different choices for me to pick from. I was surprised at how distinct each one tasted. I ended up going with the Karak chai and it was absolutely delicious! I drink chai latte quite often and this one was certainly up there with some of the best I've had. In addition to the wonderful chai menu, there is a selection of Indian (and Indian-inspired) snacks. These mostly consist of breakfast sandwiches and small wraps. Nothing here is really what you would consider a full meal size, so if you are very hungry, you may need to get more than one food option. I got the manchurian fire wrap. This was mostly potatoes and onions cooked in Indian spices and put into a wrap. It was small, but very tasty! I would order it again for sure. I also sampled several of their dessert options. I really liked the gulab jamun cheesecake. It was unlike anything I've ever had before and would definitely recommend giving it a try. The space itself is pretty small. There's probably only about a dozen tables. I was there in the morning on a Monday and it was mostly full. So I could see it being quite busy on the weekends. However, the space was nice, clean, and comfortable. I will absolutely be returning to CupsnChai in the future. read more

Just strolled by and we were pulled in for a chai sampler. They were all delicious and we will definitely be back! They served some flavors that were geared toward the season - the pumpkin pie was delicious!! Highly recommend read more

Ordered online for pick up. Ran an errand. Arrived and sent my son in to pick it up. They told him someone came in and asked for our order by name and left with our food (?). How is this possible? We had to wait for about 15 or so minutes while they remade and then got home to two teeny wraps- about 4.5 inches long. Flavor ok but mine looked not cooked and the wraps were like tiny flour tortillas. I wanted to like this place but am done after this experience. Maybe the drinks would be better? read more

Stopped in late during the Fourth Avenue holiday market to shake off the chill. Got the classic Masala Chai. Totally worth it - gentle warming spices with light sweetness. The underlying tea was fragrant and not at all bitter. I'm going to find time to come back and try other chai flavors and maybe the food, too! Service was friendly - brought me samples without my even asking! read more

Had to return my iced chai twice. First had no flavor whatsoever. Second attempt was just sugar. Not authentic at all. Sad.

I looked up this place the other day as I was trying to find a place to work from home. I entered and I was greeted with a friendly front desk person who made nice and genuine small talk as I skimmed the menu. I was amazed by the large selection they had when it came to various chai's, espresso's and delighted when I saw there was an option for samosas as a little savory treat. I ordered the Tiramisu Chai as well as the samosas and as I sat down in the cozy cafe that is well equipped with charges and a comfortable booth, I was also offered a few free samples one of which was mango lassi which was very yummy and and an espresso drink that I will be ordering the next time I come in to work from home. This has quickly become a favorite spot and I can't wait to tell my friends about this spot as I know business will be booming soon. read more

We ordered Chai for 2 events for the A2 Jazz Fest and the fine folks at CupsnChai could not have been easier to work with! We were able to pick up everything on time and easily from the shop and folks attending the event absolutely loved it!! A lot of folks had never had Chai before and we had so many compliments on it!! People loved the sweetness and the unique flavor! Thank you CupsnChai for helping to make our events truly special!! read more

The food and drinks were so good! The interior was very nice and modern! The service was really good and they were very kind!

7 dollars for a puny cup of chai my 10 year old cousin could've made, and another 7 for a bbq chicken wrap I finished in 4 bites. And then they had the audacity to ask if I wanted to tip for taking my order. If you're a non-Indian looking to overpay and feel better about yourself for having tried something new, this is the place for you. Otherwise steer clear of this sorry establishment. The place itself was dead, and had the ambiance of a mental hospital inside, not to mention I subconsciously spoke at a slightly above regular volume and was asked to "calm down". Save your money and time and go elsewhere. read more

The coffee and tea were excellent but the service was even better. Will definitely be returning.
