I've been going here for a while now! It's my favorite treat right after fasting for an appointment at my endocrinologist. I love their railway chai and the ability to customize the strength, milk, and sweetness of the beverage! I always get the same drink! Maybe one of these days I'll branch out. read more

I will need to hold my chai. The waffle with ice cream was okay. The smoothie without flavor and the refresher was watery and without flavor. Consider flavoring your drinks for improved services to your customers...please. read more

It was very nice that there was tons of outlets to plug in your laptop. The actual shop was cute and there was many options for seating to include outside. Unfortunately, overall this coffee and tea shop was a little disappointing. I ordered a dirty chai and a cookies and cream waffle dessert. The chai drink was very under-flavored, which was kind of sad considering chai typically has a great flavor and taste. To me it really tasted like water maybe mixed with some chai. The waffle dessert was a treat and had a fun flavor. If the shop works on their chai drinks, it could go a long way. Especially in this great location. read more

Stopped by Hold My Chai on a Sunday afternoon for a little pick-me-up! I grabbed the Very Berry Chai Smoothie -- sweet, creamy, and super refreshing. Docking a few stars because nearly everything on the food menu was unavailable. So many options sounded amazing, but nothing was actually offered. Major letdown on that front! read more

Truly original! This place is so cute! I got dirty chai latte and cookies. The prices were very inexpensive! I was spooked when she told me the price of the cookies was for 4 cookies, where I would have paid that for one cookie anywhere else! The chai latte is not your average American chai, it is south Asian inspired! Love love love! If I am ever in north north Dallas, I will come back! read more

I spotted this place on TikTok and had to give it a try while staying at a friend's in Plano. It's super cute!! I had a pink chai tea which was flavorful but a little sweeter than your traditional chai. The interior of the restaurant is also very cute, it's a nice place to wait while they make it and there's plenty of tables. The staff at the counter were helpful and made the recommendation based on our descriptions of what we like which is always a green flag for me! And of note the bathrooms were indeed clean, but the door was confusing, its barn style with a little latch on it so watch your fingers (I almost got mine squeezed in the door). But they're very spacious, and there's plenty of parking out front so it's an easy hang spot if you need one! Would def rec a visit when you're in the area :) read more

This is my new favorite chai shop in the area. The chai is beautifully spiced and they have quite the variety. Both the masala chai (railroad chai) and the Irani chai are delicious. The barista was helpful when I asked allergen questions. There is a ton of seating making it a great spot to meet up with friends. read more

If you're a chai lover, you've got to check this place out! I'm a big fan of chai, especially the Indian kind with all those amazing spices like cardamom, cloves, ginger, and pepper. I tried the spicy railway chai, and wow, it was rich and creamy. The black tea had such a robust and aromatic flavor. Absolutely loved it! They've got other usual beverages too--coffee, espresso, lattes, and smoothies--so there's something for everyone. Wanting something to go with your drink? They've got you covered with pastries like loaf cake, bagels, puffs, as well as chicken and paneer tikka kati rolls! The place isn't huge, but it's super cozy with lovely decor. The wooden booths are perfect for a snug little spot, and there's a community table if you're with a small group. Plus, there's outdoor seating if you prefer some fresh air. Come check it out--you won't be disappointed! read more

Masala Chai is one of my favorite teas. I was driving by one day and happened to see the word Chai in the name and decided to stop in to give them a go. I'm glad I did! I was promptly greeted when I first walked in. Upon entering the first thing that I noticed was the unique booth seating to my left and the cozy chair seating to my right. As I walked further into the place I noticed how clean and well kept the dining area was. There is more seating for larger groups behind the partition to the right. This area is perfect for working, studying, meeting with friends or hanging out alone. Each booth has two plugs for computers, phones, laptops etc. The booths have large tables to spread out all of your devices. Once I got to the counter I noticed a wide selection of chais on the menu such as Dhood Chai, Railway Chai, Kashmiri Chai, Lemongrass Chai, and Sweet Cream Chai Cold Brew. The Railway Chai is the most similar to Masala Chai. I went with the Kashmiri chai, my son got the sparkling peach refresher, and my other son got the Dhood chai. My youngest son loved his refresher, he said he really enjoyed the peach flavor. My middle son loved dunking the Parle G cookies into his Dhood chai, he said the two went well together. I enjoyed the Kashmir chai, I like my tea lightly sweetened and I prefer oat milk and I was happy this place had a chart for sweetness, milk options, and tea strength. I've had chai at many other places and it is mostly served the traditional way, it is nice to have options here. When I'm in the area I will definitely stop by. We had a most enjoyable visit. Good chai + good ambiance = good time! Don't change Hold My Chai! read more

I was here to meet a friend for a chat. Ordered Railway Chai and Kashmiri Chai medium sized cups. 6$ for a chai felt bit much, although they looked like they are made to order. Both the chai's were good. Place has a great vibe. Place a good for business etc but may not be my first choice with price. read more

From the moment you walk in, you get invited in by all the decorations. They also have semi private seating arrangements. I had the railway chai which is one of their popular ones. It was packed with flavors! I wish there was a way to control the sweetness, but it was easily one of the best chai in the area. If you like your chai with extra spices, give it a try! read more

I usually get coffee from this location and have never had an issue, but today my experience was really disappointing. I ordered an iced mocha latte and a caramel macchiato. I was told there was no ice available, and I said that was fine and asked for the drinks without ice. When we received the drinks, they were extremely under-flavored--so light they were almost white--and tasted very bland. The flavors seemed mixed up as well; there was caramel in my mocha, which ruined the taste, and neither drink was sweet as it should have been. On top of that, the drinks weren't served in the usual branded cups. They were given in plain cups with Frappuccino lids, which was confusing and made the order feel careless. Overall, it seemed like the drinks were made incorrectly, and the quality was far below what I normally expect from this place. read more

Overall Experience: 9/10 Taste: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Presentation: 10/10 Decor: 10/10 Here's what was ordered: Railway Chai: 10/10; $5.15 I ordered this as the 5 spice intrigued me, I was curious to see what the drink tasted like and if it was a spicy type of flavor. I felt like it was a desi version of a pumpkin-spiced latte, it had all the warm spices that you would taste in a PSL but with tea and not coffee. There wasn't a pumpkin flavor though, but still a good substitute instead of the PSL from Starbucks. Kashmiri Chai: 8.5/10; $5.15 I love Kashmiri chai. Aside from cardamom chai, Kashmiri is my all-time favorite, but it's hard to find a good quality cup if you're not in Pakistan. HMC's version is quite delicious but unfortunately, it didn't have any nuts in the actual drink. I made sure to check with a spoon to see if the pistachios had settled to the bottom but nothing was there. I don't know if the owners want to stick to a more traditional version of the teas but imagine a cup of Kashmiri chai with steamed milk on top with a dash of chopped or finely crushed pistachios. Sweet Cream Chai Cold Brew: 7/10; $5.15 I have always seen cold brew made out of coffee beans but never with tea so this drink caught my attention. The flavor profile was lightly sweet and milky, it had a blend of a coffee and tea flavor, and the coffee flavor overpowered the other flavors. If you are a fan of cold brew, then you will probably enjoy this drink. Green Apple Refresher: 9/10; $5.25 I love tart flavors and I made sure to order this because I needed something cold to cool me down before I left the chai shop into the blazing Texas heat. It was like a sweet and sour apple soda, just a tad too sweet for me but overall very tasty. I will have to try the other flavors the next time I visit. Gulab Jamun Cake Jar: 6/10; $7.50 I asked the employee taking my order what the most popular cake jar was and was told it was the Gulab Jamun jar, I didn't see the price until I sat down after ordering. I was a little disappointed to see that it was $7.50 for such a small cup of cake (See photos) It should've been $5 max for such a small portion. Inside the jar, I counted about 5 decent sized Gulab Jamuns that were sweet but the frosting was very sweet and unfortunately overpowered the flavor of the actual Gulab Jamun, there was a little bit of cake at the bottom that tasted very good because it absorbed the sugary syrup from above. Overall I was not impressed by the cake jar and do not recommend it. Next time I will try the Croffle. **All drinks were ordered as small read more

Stopped by for their soft opening leading up to their grand opening. What a great overall experience from the sweet cashier who gave us three of their top chai recommendations to the super adorable atmosphere with cute tables and decor! We tried the iced doodh cha and the iced railway chai, and both hit the spot - what a perfect way to end our day! We will definitely be back! read more

I stopped by on a Monday at 1pm for some food and chai tea. There were no sandwiches available. The server was friendly, but I asked for the most spiced chai (railway chai was recommended) and it still tasted watered down - I can make much better at home and for waaaay less than $6. Couple stars for the cute ambiance, lots of plugs for laptops and friendly service, but I won't be coming here again. I read in other reviews that food service was spotty and that the chai tastes watered down, I should have listened. I will be going around the corner to Skillet Flame. read more

Since December 2024, the quality of Chai has been declining, it was really good but not sure what changed that made taste worse. Usual Orders: Woodward chai, railway chai, spicy railway chai, kashmir chai. All of the above chai have not been good. Please improve. Used to be our family favorite. read more

Went a little before noon on a Saturday. There was only one person working. They didn't have any sandwiches, and the sparkling machine was broken--I had been looking forward to trying the rose sparkling. If you're hungry and get hangry easily, I'd skip this place, because I left in a pretty sour mood. The only upside is the location. There are plenty of other halal options nearby. It's odd that things were broken or unavailable on a Saturday morning/afternoon, especially since the place wasn't even busy. Just two older men relaxing, and a girl with a nasty attitude and heavy negative vibes sitting right by the register. It definitely added to the already depressing atmosphere. Oh, and the Kurkure were stale--no expiration date listed, so I have no idea what's up with that. ‍ That said, it is a pretty spot. Just wish the experience matched the aesthetics read more

It's a regular chai shop. With so many popping in the Frisco area I think it might be difficult for this place to sustain. The ambiance is great. read more

Amazing chai, coffee and ambiance. The service is awesome and always friendly. They have some really cool options for chai & the coffee is good too! Definitely one of my favorite speciality cafe's in the area. read more

The lovely young Indian boy with beautiful hair who took my order was very kind, had excellent customer service, and guided me through all the options on the menu. I got the ice cream option and it was delicious! The white chocolate sauce was wow The atmosphere was so aesthetic and the entire store was beautifully decorated! 10/10 now it's on my weekly radar! read more

Hold My Chai is a cozy spot with booth seating that serves authentic chai and coffee, we had railway chai which instantly transported us back to the nostalgic days of Indian rail travel. The ambiance is perfect for relaxing, complete with play cards and Uno for a fun time with friends. They even offer Parle G cookies with chai, adding a delightful Indian touch. The customer service is amazing, making every visit a pleasant experience. read more

Great spot overall with good options for everyone. I would recommend it to anyone looking.

The coffee was bitter, and the barista seemed uncertain of flavor offerings. The end result was $7 poured down the drain. It was not something I couldn't force myself to consume. read more

I am a HUGE chai tea drinker, but I'm not their target customer. With that being said, I purchased a Dhood Chai, hot, extra sweet, and plain bagel with cream cheese. Upon first sip the chai BURNED my tongue. I had a family member also taste it, and we both agreed that the chai tasted like grass. I tried giving it a chance, but ultimately threw it the whole thing g away after only a few sips. The bagel was simple, but the cream cheese they give is so small that it's only enough for one half making the other half useless. Total cost was $10 for both items. They do have a $2 off coupon on your next purchase, but I probably won't be returning. read more

First time customer.. I see room for improvement and with time it will.. just a comment on the H. S. kids making the chai .. I'm not so sure they know what good coffee or tea should be. And also make sure if you're paying cash that you take exact change because they do not give change back. The prices are reasonable but be aware of the extreme sweetness if you don't like your tea being so sugary. Ambience is good. Cubicle like setting. read more

Was good the first time I tried it. Second time, they got the size wrong, chai came out room temp and did not taste good. Couple of kids were making the chai... probably not very experienced as the first crew that did it. read more

There is a nice ambience in the story, and was not very busy when I went. This would be a great place to study and get some work done. I ordered an Iced Railway Chai; it was mid, not flavorful and very watered down. Essentially tasted like water and a splash of chai. I may have just come on an off-day. read more

Very friendly service and owners. They gave us some good recommendations and we ended up with the railways and kashmiri chai. we had a member of our party who is lactose intolerant so the person making the chai showed us the actual milk used which is a nice touch. Really enjoyed the railways chai. Kashmiri chai is solid but had more of a green tea flavor to it. I will definitely come back and bring family and friends to try other chais! read more

I had really high hopes for this place because t after trying it out twice, I don't think we'll be coming back a third time. First time it was during soft opening, we ordered iced Kashmiri chai & iced railway chai- both tasted very watered down and not a strong flavor. You can specify how strong you would like your drinks & this time the barista insisted the cold brew is definitely on the stronger side and I would like it. After trying it, it was both watered form but strong/bitter as if it was over steeped at the save time. Even though I had asked for it to be sweetened, all I could taste was the bitterness. My husband ordered a cappuccino but it felt more like a latte. Cappuccino is half foam , half milk, latte (meaning milk in Italian) is usually 75% milk, 25% foam. I went back up to the register, ordered another drink and asked them where should I throw my cold brew (it was 98% full and it would leak in the trash can). They took away the cold brew, rang me up for another drink, never asked why I was getting rid of my drink, was everything ok etc and simply took my drink and disposed of it. I'm not writing this because I need a complimentary drink, if I did, I would have said something while I was still at the cafe. Only posting this to let everyone else be aware of what to expect and don't be disappointed like I was, yet again. read more
