Kelly Irving

Best in SF. Similar to the Aussie dextrose powder chai . Not quite "proper" chai but no where near as sweet and sickly as the syrup served up elsewhere. Samovar has more authentic Indian masala .

Jenny

Perhaps overpriced but delicious, and a great place to work with lots of natural light and outlets. People working there are also super nice. And fancy lemon water

Emmiliese Clemm

You can choose between lots of different spice vs. sweet levels. I like the Sir Spice A Lot best, and recommend getting it with almond or oat milk . They also have solid breakfast sandwiches .

Vincent Tang

The chai is amazing and the selection is seemingly endless! Hazelnut milk ?! Grab an onigiri too! It's made in house. Animal positive!

Paul Novarese

Absolutely 100% no doubt the best I’ve experienced in my travels. It’s a bit out of the way if you’re downtown but worth walking a few extra blocks.

Simon Willison

Had work leaving drinks here from 5-7pm and it was the perfect venue for them - fits a large group, has non-alcoholic and alcoholic drink options, not too loud and they serve excellent cookies

Takeshi

Bubble Chai Tea is the best! Spam onigiri is great too. They have now wifi too.

Sophyan Julio

Be aware that the chai sold here is made from powder . It's not made fresh from scratch with brewed tea leaves. Beautiful space though.

Yash Kadaru

Everyone will ask you to get the Tiger Spice chai ... nah.. get the Orca chai ; it's the same but much better. Best chai I've had.

Vanilla chai (sweet) and avocado toast , toast is plentiful and good for the price (currently $11) in this location

Andres Novoa

They can blend their chai mixes for you! The Tiger Spice with the Elephant Vanilla is a good one!

Chloe Fan

I get the tortoise green chai with chia seeds every time I see here. You can just grab and go from the fridge .

Starr Strickland

Really great tumeric chai . Open hours are weird though but worth the stop by if you can catch them open

Michael McCallam

Grab coffee or a beer - good for work or just reading

Stella Novena

Flamingo vanilla chai is outstanding! Sweet and tender flavor.

Jared Roussel

Love the look. Chai base is a little too sweet for me, but I enjoy the spicier varieties on ice.

Sarah Ball

If you like spicy but not too sweet, get boldly spiced chai with one of the nut milks . WiFi pw is tigerspice

Joshua

Was super excited, but then threw it away. Iced Dirty Elephant. It was grainy and flavorless, not spicy or creamy. Disappointed to see they use a powder mixed with milk -- why not brew your own tea ?

Mary Dawson

Vanilla bubble chai is lovely but service was unreliable. Be prepared to wait a while!

Whitney R.

Try all the David Rio chai flavors you wouldn't bother buying a whole canister of. :-)

Mark Josephson ✌️

Power Tiger rocks your world. Shot of espresso takes to the next level.

Qiqi Xu

you can't go wrong with this place. it is pretty pricy tho

Daron Yondem

Pretty good place if you are a chai person. You might want to emphasize "extra hot" if you are not ok with moderately hot drinks tough.

Angel Max

All the chai teas and the pastries , too!

Bommy

Expensive but large seating area makes it a good meet & chat spot. Staff seems confused so service is clunky.

Shannon Z

Almond , Soy, Hazelnut & Macadamia nut milks !

Carolynn Choi

???? + ???? is a great mix!

Akshay Soni

Tiger Spice Chai - best chai I had.

Yas Ab

They use powdered substances to make your "chai ". Absolutely gross tasting and I threw mine out. Make your own chai masala and taste the difference. I added ginger to mine and it wasn't strained, wtf?

Vivian

Booth seating !! #productivityCommences

It was better than I expected. I ordered Chocolate Chai .

Ashley Mowrey

This place is way too expensive for what it is, an inauthentic chai "bar" that provides chai that is not noteworthy and will burn the roof of your mouth off if not careful.

Nedra

Say "yes" to a receipt. It has the bathroom code on it.

Pavlo Grozian

Tiger Spice is the best

Jiexi Cao

Really sugary drinks, barely taste the chai . Trying too hard to be trendy ...

Wendy Lin

So many different types of chai !!

Saliem

Pretzel croissant ?! Mind blown

Saliem

The buttery croissants

Sam Reynard

Alyssa W

Omg they have AC !

Anton Shuster

Chai 's pretty good, but the food options are mediocre.
