    Butter Chai
    Veronica R.

    I took a trip to Sedona this weekend, my first time, and my first visit to The Chai Spot in Tlaquepaque. I popped in and ordered a Butter Chai which sounded good on paper--but tasted like a cup of liquid butter. Nothing remotely close to good. One of my friends ordered a regular chai, which had an absolute terrible taste--like a cup a skim milk. There was no chai, cardamom, or fennel in it at all. My other friend had never tried chai and we refused to let her try ours because it was awful tasting. What is also disappointing are the cup servings, which are kid size, so tiny and expensive (nearly $8 for maybe a 4-6oz). They don't modify their chai drinks at all for milk base options and the lady taking the order was somewhat rude/dismissive. While The Chai Spot has cute aesthetics, their drinks were terrible and not worth the money.

    A cute chia spot in Sedona?! This was not in my bingo card. This place is absolutely beautiful. They've kept the authentic decor as well as a lot of the snacks and cultural items that are for sale. I got a standard chai, there was an aunty making it on the side so you knew it was the real deal. The chai was spot on! I did feel like it was over priced to pay around $7 for chai, but boy it was worth it. 10/10!

    4 stars overall The Chai Spot, located in the super classy yet down to Earth Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts shopping center, is a must visit if you're in the Sedona area. Nestled in the upper corner of a 2nd floor building is this vibrant, colorful & unique hangout drink spot that serves an enticing menu of "traditional & unique Chai drinks such as Himalayan Butter Chai and Coconut Rose Chai" & prices range from $6.50-$7.50. To my surprise & delight, they also sell colorful clothing, decor & snacks from Turkey & Pakistan. It made my heart happy to read in the online shop description that the owner sends profits to support women & children. What lured me in to visit this adorable drink spot are the welcoming pictures on Yelp of the cozy loungey atmosphere where you can borrow a book, sit & read while relaxing on a low to the ground super colorful couch. I really wanted to try all the drinks because they sounded so unique & yummy. The Butter Chai and the Coconut Rose Chai (vegan) were my top 2 contenders but when the cashier told me I can't take out the sugar (albeit organic) I decided to get an sugar-free drink recommended by the cashier, the Hibiscus Iced tea. Made with hisbiscus, lemongrass, fennel & agave, it was definitely stronger on the bitter, dry hibiscus side and not as sweet & wasn't what I expected. I wouldn't get it again but would like to splurge & try the other drinks next time. I really love the unique ingredients they use here as opposed to the cookie cutter Starbucks drinks. Here, drinks are made from scratch & use ingredients like cardamom, fennel, clove, star anise, salt & rose water. They garnish drinks with nutmeg, pistacio & almonds. I love how one of their drinks, the Sulaimani Chai was even inspired by the Biblical King Solomon. They even have a mini marketplace where 70% of their products are handmade by Pakistani rural women & men, 50% of their profits support women & children in Pakistan. Amazing! The most cutest thing is how the Chai Spot began & that's with a love story & a marriage of two very different families. I highly encourage a visit to The Chai Spot if you're in the Sedona area & you like unique drinks & fun hangouts. My lack of 1 star was simply due to not being able to take out or substitute organic sugar for more substitute sweetener no sugar at all. Otherwise, highly recommend!

    I really enjoyed The Chai Spot. It's upstairs. You wouldn't know it existed if they didn't have their menu sign on the ground level, right in front of the stairs. Before I went in to place my order, I noticed the relaxed vibe and seating. They have a retail store right when you walk in, so I wondered if I was even in the right place. But past the clothing, I ordered my drink and paid. It didn't take long for my drink to be ready, but I walked outside to the other seating area on the other side of the store. In a small separate balcony, there is a small round table and chairs for two. I enjoyed my chai drink outside. Delicious. Staff were friendly and efficient. I will definitely come back again, the next time I'm in Sedona. Parking: Free, shared.

    The aroma lured us in up a flight of stairs to a charming Chai heaven. The ambient was very cute, a little retail shop, pillows for you to just chill and read or catch up with your friends, fun sweet delights and delicious pick me up while observing the passer by, a great pass time.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Chai Spot!!! This place is an absolute must every time I'm in the area. Their iced chai is next-level amazing - hands down one of the best chais I've ever had, no exaggeration. It's that good. The outdoor seating has the best vibe and makes the whole experience even better. Whenever I'm in Sedona, this is always my first stop, no question. I seriously wish this place was closer because I'd be here all the time!!!

    Love that they give so generously

    Looked forward to visiting this shop after a day of walking around Sedona. Love the selections of chai and the decor. Lots of fun, ethnic items to purchase. Not busy so was able to order right away and drinks came quickly. Drinks were tasty. Only downside was the attitude of the counter helper. Barely greeted us, took order w bored attitude, didn't expand on questions asked. Just might have been a moment she was having but bummed the vibe.

    I received henna inside the chai shop (3/7/26) that chemically burnt me which resulted in my skin scarring underneath. i've never had this reaction as i've gotten henna plenty of times before. made my skin sore to the touch and swollen. do not recommend.

    The place is cute with a nice outdoor seating area. I went with an iced chai as I was quite warm and didn't want a hot beverage. I liked it overall, but think it could be more spicy. It's commendable that 50% of their profits support women and children in Pakistan.

    Super cute spot with a fabulous patio and great drink options. The hibiscus tea was amazing. My dad is a regular chai drinker and he said this was the best chai he's ever had

    Going to the Chai Spot was well worth the stop. The area is really beautiful and the business has a nice balcony-style area to sit and enjoy your drink or food. I was between two drinks, so I asked about the menu. They were very kind and explained that the traditional cardamom was a family recipe and was the reason they opened this business, while the butter chai is a sweeter, dessert-style drink. I ended up ordering the traditional cardamom and it was very tasty. It had a distinctly different taste than most chai I have had since there was more spice and depth of flavor.

    So wonderful! An oasis of beauty and one of the best chai ever. The smell of real chai spices (not a syrup or powder kind) was such a treat! I will dream of coming back someday.

    This is a must see stop that has random indoor and outdoor rooms full of really cool things. Lots…read moreof pottery, artifects, jewerly, hats, crystals, Native American stuff, etc. Plenty of key chains, magnets, and fun things. I found the prices to be really reasonable verses prices up the road. I picked up a few trinckets and a walking stick to bring home. Employees are friendly

    This place seems so great and I was really excited to buy lots of fun things- a $75 mirror,…read moreornament, earrings, a print, cactus nail file, probably more because I love turquoise and colors...but I sat down on a bench by a koi pond for a minute (ironically, to check in on yelp and see why so many one star reviews for a place full of good stuff). An employee who I now also assume is Eva from other reviews came outside and told me she was locking that door so I had to come inside. The mirror I really wanted was outside of that door though and I was confused because it was close to 5 but they close at 5:30 pm. I asked her if she could wait to lock the door but no- they close some sections earlier and apparently that couldn't wait. I left without buying any of the things and will spend my money somewhere that people don't chase me out. I have worked in customer service and in a tourist place and it often sucks. I didn't and don't expect smiles and friendliness, but at a bare minimum need to not be locked out of the area of a store 30 minutes before closing. There are a number of signs indicating it's easy to transgress their rules and get yelled at or ejected...so weird how very unfriendly the people at a shop with so many great things could be. Ps don't even think about trying to use the restroom if not a paying customer- you have to buy something and then the other lady will grudgingly hand over some toilet paper. Dang! I went in so happy and left so annoyed.
