Major side note- I am curious though if part of my issue here is the oat milk as I've never been a big fan of it so take my review with a grain of salt. I went to this chai spot earlier in the evening. It's a bit fancier than the usual chai place being a smaller cup with the closest thing price-wise being Qawah Valley though that of course is the Arabic Adeni style of chai so it's hard to compare. The basic chai, which is their take on an Indian masala chai, is $6.5 for hot, $7.5 for cold, or $9 for nitro (+ tax.) It is is listed as black tea (said chai,) cardamom, clove, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. Said drinks are only available with plant milk as they are vegan which is a little bit different/partially contributes to the rather egregious price point. The guy in front is friendly and the inside has a nice chill vibe and is aesthetically pleasing. I ordered an iced chai so it was a bit over $8. For the pros, it wasn't overly sweet and had a strong cardamom flavor which I don't mind as I don't like a strong cinnamon or clove flavor in my chai and it had a pleasant creaminess. However, I wish the clove and ginger flavor was more present and it was almost too strong from the cardamom. Speaking of being less present, the black tea itself wasn't that present or flavorful either presumably due to the oat milk so it was more of a cardamom oat milk drink than a masala chai. The quality here is better than some of the other chai places (The Chai Spot and Kolkata) but that's not really saying much. It's marginally better than some cheap chai found in some of the better Indian restaurants while also being 3/4 times the price and also pales in comparison to my favorite chai place; Ruhani in Brooklynl which is better balanced and has a stronger tea flavor. The guy is very friendly, it fills a fun niche, and is great for vegans. However for the price point, I expected the tea to have a better balanced flavor with a mix of spices and not be so cardamom forward. Will leave it as a 3 as it could have been a bad batch. read more

Cute little cafe on Rivington St. They have a few tables and chairs. I got a regular hot chai. The prices are average - I've definitely seen chai priced higher elsewhere. The chai was very good! It comes with oat milk which is my preferred milk in my chai. The chai was one of the better ones I've had around Manhattan. It's not too sweet. There was one staff member and they were nice. The facilities looked clean. Unsure if they have a bathroom. The space is not ADA accessible as it requires walking down two small stairs for entry. read more

Came here for a cup of chai as we waited for our reservation for a restaurant nearby. As an Indian American, I'm often suspicious of any kind of cafe that offers chai as a lot of them serve that Starbucks chai latte type stuff. This place is thankfully not one of those places, and in fact serves some super authentic spicy chai! It reminds me of the type of tea my family makes in Mumbai or what my mum makes. Very heavy on the spice and flavor, with just a bit of milk for balance. I ended up having two cups . The place inside is pretty cute, but seating is definitely limited. We got lucky and were able to sit as a group of people left just as we got our chai, but otherwise we were planning on taking ours to go. Overall, highly recommend as a tasty spot for chai. read more

Really cute chai cafe near Chinatown! The space is small, but there's a large communal table, along with a few other scattered seats. The interior is very modern and minimalist, and there's free wifi for those looking to get some work done! I got the hot chai latte (note: all drinks here use oatmilk which was highly appreciated). The drink was delicious and fragrant and was very lightly sweetened, though I wish the cup was a bit larger for the price ($6). You can also grab a stamp card for a free drink after 10 visits! Great place overall, would come back again! read more

Teas are made in batches and come iced or hot. I was lucky enough to sample the masala chai and hojicha. The masala chai was super flavorful and the ginger at the end was such a nice kick. I opted for the hojicha since I'm a sucker for the roasted nutty taste. On day two, I came back to try the owner's favorite, the early grey. The floral notes from the early grey were refreshing and the creamy oat milk made for a consistent and smooth drink just like the others. The best part about this shop? All drinks come with oat milk and there are no substitutes! The drinks are rich and the thick texture makes for a very silky smooth drink. I devoured my drink like it was water. Cheers! read more

Chai, Matcha & other teas are my thing, I've never been into coffee so when I'm walking through the LES & see a sign that says "Voted Top Chai" I knew I would be stopping in. The space is sparse, no tables or anything, walk all the way to the back to order your drink. The day I went a local designer was showcasing some clothes & jewelry, she mentioned that she isn't there permanently so I'm thinking it changes a lot. On to the Chai. I died when I saw that all the drinks were already made with Oat milk. As someone who only drinks Oat milk, this was a great surprise. I thought it had a great spice level, not a deep color but very tasty! Very much enjoyed it! Wish the cup was larger for the price but would still come & order again. Next time I would like to pick up the pre-bottled chai's to have in my fridge. Love that they have that option! read more

Went in randomly on a weekday WFH. Was looking for a cafe that was tea forward and this one popped up. They have free wifi and some larger tables which is nice when you're working with a laptop. The menu is pretty limited but everything they have is the real deal. I had an iced chai latte and it was creamy and delicious. It takes a little longer than your typical cafe but that's because theres only one person holding it down and they make the chai from scratch. Definitely expensive-- $6-8 per tea but if you're serious about tea would recommend! read more

The chai was very good. We got the tea flight with hojicha green tea, chai tea, chai latte and golden milk. Hojicha was very light, green tea flavor was very subtle, almost tastes like water. The chai tho, I was a fan! Would definitely come back to get the full size next time! read more

Absolutely loved the tea flight! I thought we'd be getting four different types of chai tea, but it turned out to be Earl Grey, Hojicha (my favorite), Chai, and Golden Milk (tumeric). All the tea lattes were extremely well flavored with minimal milk which made it perfect for a flight. The seating is very limited but thankfully we were able to squeeze three people at a two person table. The ambiance is very minimalist and there are no bathrooms in the cafe. read more

I came here based on the high ratings that it got online, and got a regular hot chai latte to go. When you first walk in, there's a long, narrow hallway that has a really cool interior with lots of cool modern wall art and furniture. There's a limited menu, but they have solid tea options. The chai latte was flavorful and just what I needed! Their chai doesn't come pre-sweetened so if you're wanting a sweet chai latte, you're going to have to add sugar yourself. I would come again for a chai latte and maybe to try their tea flights! Their seating is a little limited though so it might not be the spot to pick if you're trying to meet up with a friend and stay for a while. read more

Small chai bar, in an unexpectedly simple space. Friendly owner wins you over with the focus and care that he exhibits when brewing the chai. The menu features drinks that can be served either hot or cold. The minimalist design aesthetic is perfect, and there's enough space at the communal table to get some work done. I ordered the golden milk and fell in love with it, and my date ordered the chai. Both were perfect for the polar vortex days, and in fact we returned the next day with the same order. The owner remembered us and I was happy to tell him that we enjoyed our drinks so much that it warranted repeat visits. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! Great for a casual date or for a solo hangout with a book or laptop. read more

The aroma that erupts from this place out into the storefront is powerful enough to pull you in to try one of their soul-warming chai lattes. I've walked by this place so many times that I finally had to just come in here and check it out for myself. The chai is being made on the stove fresh to order and you can really really taste the difference between an ordinary chai tea bag, you might get from the grocery store, and this warm, hearty, Nicely spiced chai that kind of just warms your soul on a cold day. Highly recommend. I have learned from my South Asian friends that chai on the stove is the only way to go. If you're looking for a place to get some work done on your own in a nice intimate space, and have some quality chai and you're looking to not have coffee for once this place is the place for you. Although, I believe they still do coffee drinks. read more

This is such a cute hole in the wall cafe! I saw it on Google maps, decided to swing by, and it's now one of my favorite NYC cafes. The decor is very simple but chic-- there's a coat rack, outdoor seating, several mirrors, and chairs throughout the cafe. The barista was really welcoming and you could watch him brewing the chai with great care. The lattes are all made with oat milk and you can order them hot/cold. You can also order loose leaf teas and a tea flight (choice of 4 teas). I first ordered the hot chai latte (creamy, flavorful, and perfectly sweetened) and I went back for a hot golden milk latte (made with turmeric and very yummy if you like turmeric). I tried my friend's hojicha latte and it was earthy, nutty, and almost chocolatey. If you're ordering in, the barista will bring your order to you on a mug and a plate. It's small and cozy and is a lovely setting to sit and chat with a friend! read more

It was a cold day, and I wanted something warming. The Hideout popped up on my search, and I'm so glad it did. I ordered a hot chai. The chai is aromatic. The spices were so comforting. The ginger particularly warmed me up. The tingle in my throat was a familiar, welcomed feeling. The tea is smooth and creamy. I love that the chai comes to you piping hot. However, the low design of the cup handle and the upward sloping edges of the plate, make it hard to pick up the chai without the heat being too hot on the back of my fingers. This is the perfect place to wind down and relax and have a good cup of tea. read more

Honestly, one of the best chai spots there is. While walking there, you can smell the aromatic scents from their chai down the block. It's actually crazy how intense it was. I was literally drawn to this place. Chai is on point and this is definitely a place to try out for chai lovers. The space is small with limited seating. It's really popular on the weekends; however, it does clear out closer to the late afternoon. This is another really great spot to get work done when it's not as crowded since they also have wifi. The service here is A+. Staff members were extremely kind and checked up on me to see if I liked my drink or needed any water. Their friendly demeanor was a great start to my day. read more

We came here to wait out a dinner reservation in the area after being surprised that this place was open around 6 PM. Super pleasant surprise as we think we have just found THE best chai / rooibos tea in NYC. Hidden gem in LES Ambiance is super chill, small space but really has everything you need. Beautiful room. I wish I took a picture !! Not a ton of seating though but we were able to sit a full family at their long table inside. We got the iced chai / rooibos teas with oat milk. The chai was incredible, spicy and creamy with just the right amount of notes. It felt really "deeply" flavored in ways that other chai I've had in NYC and elsewhere hasn't been. The rooibos SLAPPED, the pepper note was unlike anything I've had, and I'd highly recommend to anyone who's into tea. The guy manning the counter (sir, are you the owner?) was very sweet and patient with our large party, including my parents and a teenager. Cannot wait to be back!! read more

It's cute. You walk downstairs into the small tea 'cafe'. The are several delicious teas to choose from, to enjoy in house, or to go. I really like Earl Grey tea but the Chai tea here is completely aromatic with a wonderful balance of spices. It's pre-made with oat milk which provides some sweetness. The tea is served pretty hot. My suggestion is to wait a few minutes and let the tea cool. For me, I could appreciate the flavors a lot more. The person serving the tea looks like the owner. He may not be, but he's totally invested in customer's happiness and his service skills are great. I tasted the Earl Grey tea, it's very good also.

Really good chai--complex, creamy, and rich--in a very tiny cup. I nursed this chai for over an hour because it was sooo delicious and because...you just don't want an $8 chai to disappear too quickly. Tastes like ambrosia and priced like it too. The owner was working there on a weekend; he was super kind and also warms the chai right there. My drink came out super hot, to the point where it would have been painful to carry out, so decided to sit for awhile and read. The space is small but has a couple of chairs set up for couples, a communal table filled with the laptop crowd, and some chairs outside. Due to the price point, I would not make a habit of going here regularly (even for the six-serving bottled chai which is slightly more affordable), but could be a great option if you want to treat yourself or enjoy a special drink with another chai-lover. read more

The cookie I was most excited for was the corn cookie and the chocolate chip also looked really good. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed by the black & white cookie because for some reason I thought it was a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips, but it was actually just a regular cookie with black and white chips lol. The cookies themselves were really solid though. Nice light crisp around the edges with a chewy center without being overly gooey or underbaked. Definitely on the thicker side too, which I liked. Next time I'll have to try one of their espresso drinks!

They had the viral fruit pastries we've been seeing everywhere, and they were just as good as they look, fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. The bakery itself is so cute.

Unfortunately, the answer is NO, not worth the $6.50, maybe worth half the price. The chocolate flavor is barely there, almost nonexistent. In other words, the glaze was only for show.

Mango Gelato. Very tasty!

The interior itself is antique, quaint, and there's minimal (but some!) seating for you to enjoy your tea at. One of my favorite parts of this shop is that their tea menu is all around the shop, right on their walls. So, you walk around the shop, look at the different teas (organized by type, caffinated/non-caffinated), smell them, and read the labels. I had a lot of fun doing this! Their prices are good and their teas are amazing. Definitely a cool experience!

They have promotions once in a while like BOGOs, so when that happens, wait times to get the drinks can be very long. I recently bought bogo drinks and the order line was empty, but the pickup line was long. It took about 30+ min to get my drinks. I'm so used to matcha and jasmine flavors now, so I wanted to try something different. I had the tongmu lapsang salted cheese milk tea and I liked it. Never heard of tongmu lapsang but Google says it's a type of smoked black tea from China. The drink had notes of hazelnut in it. I never had a nutty, chocolatey tea flavor combo before so it was refreshing to taste.

I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

I ordered an iced matcha einspanner ($6.95) with oat milk ($0.75) and loved that it already comes with a shot of espresso, so it was essentially a dirty matcha einspanner. I tried each layer on its own before mixing everything together and it was all really good. The matcha cream is the right amount of sweet and creamy and you can taste the matcha with just a hint of coffee. Since I'm a coffee fiend I added a bit more espresso when I got back to the hotel and it tasted even better while still keeping the matcha as the dominant flavor. Next time I would ask for less ice since it was freezing that morning, but on a warmer day the ice level would be perfect. Would love to come back to try their other drinks or order the einspanner again as a hot drink.

If texture doesn't bother you (liberal amount of black sesame!), I'd suggest getting this latte (10/10). Both pastries were great in their own right. For my second matcha of the day, this matcha was like your everyday/average matcha. Can't go wrong, but it wasn't mind-blowing. If you're in the Theatre District, I'd definitely recommend popping in for a drink & a treat!

There is some counter space, but mainly for standing purposes. I ordered a standard Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35) and my friend got her usual Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8). Docking 1/2 point bc the matcha is pre-made. I'm a fan of the whisking process bc I do believe there's a craft to matcha overall. Surprisingly, my drink tasted fine and my bev was a good color, so I was pleasantly happy. We waited less than 10 min for a table to open up, but you have to be there at the right time, otherwise you prob just grab your drink + go. Overall, glad I tried Kijitora. It's not my first matcha choice, but it was decent for a standard matcha latte. Their specialty matcha drinks look to have mixed reviews, but I'm personally not a fan of sweet drinks.

I haven't had enough strawberry matchas in my life, but this was indeed a very delicious strawberry matcha. The matcha flavor is there and the strawberry jam is sweet and not overly thick.

If it's within vicinity of wherever im at, id def stop to get a drink again.

I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
