chais

Fragrant Indian brews

Chais is the plural of chai, the spiced milk tea popular in South Asian cuisine and Western coffee shops.

The word comes from Hindi for tea, so "chai tea" is technically redundant—though widely used.

The café offers several different chais, from traditional masala to vanilla.
