    Divine workplace interior! Woodsy and warm. Smells lovely and can sit comfortably. I would recommend the tumeric dirty chai

    Stopped by recently one afternoon, was expecting great things from all the high reviews but was left underwhelmed. Walk up counter service. Its tea, guess im missing something but when I asked for decaf options for my afternoon visit it became a difficult situation? Was hoping for a decaf tea or green tea, not so though. My order taker was completely confused when I asked for a no caffeine drink? This place is obviously popular with, a spacious modern interior with plenty of sitting areas inside and out. Wound up with an herbal, floral mix, it was okay but weak and not very good. Not bad, but just did not meet my need. My friend enjoyed her Chai but said similarly about the whole experience. Pricey for a weak herbal decaf. Even let the mix steep an extra 4-5 minutes to no avail. Again, this place looks like its very popular with the areas locals but it missed the mark for me, ordering a decaf tea in the afternoon should not be that difficult. Was just looking for a nice decaf green tea or black tea even. 2.5 Stars rounded up instead of down, for the nice outdoor sitting area 01145

    I missed to take a picture of my Spiced Apple Chai-der since I was taking my drink to-go, but what a warming place Chad's Chai is! The inside is so cozy - I wanted to spend my whole day there. The employees are super kind. The drink selection is awesome!! I really appreciate the caffeine-free options as well, since I usually get decaf, and you don't see many decaf teas. The Spiced Apple Chai-der was perfectly sweet, and it warmed me up for my walk. It was the perfect comfort drink. Love this place!! Excited to see their winter menu soon!

    Fun blended teas and cute open space. I think this is a great space if you're newer to teas and want to try fun, funky flavors. I'm partial to single origin teas and like more of the classic no frills oolong, sencha, matcha (not latte) - and as a huge fan of dobra I recognize that this caters to a different crowd. And that is totally okay and will welcome any shop that opens up the door to more tea lovers! They did have some single origin teas served gong fu style - so I will say that it does have some options for those who would so desire. They do have some savory cold food options in a fridge, like cold noodle salads and some fun pastries that also cater to allergen sensitive folk.

    Ever since Chad's Chai opened I've been hearing rave reviews but I never visited until last night. I'm happy to have experienced it for myself and it definitely lives up to the hype. When you walk in, it's a full vibe. Very minimalist decor with lots of pale wood. You immediately feel relaxed, soothed, comforted. It was evening so I wanted to purchase caffeine-free options for myself and my friends. For myself I ordered the Sundown Chai, and my friends wanted a Chai Latte and a Masala Latte, all with the homemade plant milk blend. When the drinks were set upon the counter the aromas were amazing. I felt as if I had entered a spice market. My drink was a masterful blend of flavors, just the right amount of sweetness, spice, and creaminess. Happiness in a cup. There's a great merch section that includes a little fridge with noodles and delicious looking desserts. I hope to return soon and give them a try .

    My first time at this cool modern concept of a tea house and the spiced apple cider is basic and good. It's warming me up! Bf and his daughter had the pumpkin pie chai and I tasted it, it is more like a decadent dessert. Very good service here, the girl taking orders is super sweet and patient. It is a great use of space and they are open till 9 PM so come and get some treats!

    If you a chai lover and you are in the Winston Salem downtown area, I implore you to stop by Chad's Chai. What a cute little spot for a meet up, get some work done, or just relax with an AH-mazing cup of chai. I got the original black chai and when I tell you it was chai perfection, you better hear me----it was PER-FECT-ION!!!! The beautiful spiciness won me over with the very first sip. The customer service was amazing very willing to take the time to entertain all of my questions, and give me some very welcomed suggestions. Next time I am in the area, I will definitely make a point to stop in

    Loved the atmosphere and I certainly enjoyed the chai. I think my mistake was ordering the flight rather than one I was for sure going to like. But then again, this was my first visit so I wanted to try a variety. I definitely would go back and maybe order something a little bit more tailored to my tastes.

    Chads chais is a great addition to the downtown! As a tea drinker, this is a great hub for me to pass the time and get some work down out of the house. They have a great selection of lattes and interesting looking baked goods that I have not yet explored. I love the venue, it is contemporary and botanical with cute floor tables available. I got to share a drink with this gorgeous fellow Yelper on a date night and we enjoyed a warm end to our evening with two chai lattes.

    I have been here several times now and I'd like to say it's one of my favorite tea spots... EVER. Such a beautiful interior space, central location, original menu, and great community space. There's not one, not two, but THREE gluten free treat options ... which is so awesome! The Filipino coconut cake, love cake, and focaccia bread were so good. I've had their matcha drinks and also a handful of chais. I can't wait to go back and truly don't know that I've had the same thing twice because there's so much to try. New favorite spot to do work.

    I had a great experience here! I don't always want a coffee and this is the perfect place to have ample options that are not just tea-based. The location is great- in the art's district, where everything is walking distance. They have a ton of street parking and they have a parking lot in the back as well. They have so much natural light coming in and so much seating. I came here to get some work done for a few hours and it was very comfortable with wi-fi. There were so many different groups of people here as well- people meeting other friends, and other people like me who were getting some work done. They have a really unique Japanese tea-style seating area on a platform that I would love to sit at sometime. I ordered a a blueberry ginger matcha and it was incredible. I love all things ginger, so I was excited to try it. Their matcha is not grainy or grassy- they made it perfectly and so quickly. The only con I have is that the drink was pretty pricey, but that could be because of the matcha shortage happening. Would I go back? Yes and I already have since this first visit!!

    Non dairy chai latte
    Ellie F.

    Tea lovers, this one's for you! When you walk in, you can read the tea guide as well as smell samples of their loose leaf teas. They also have tea "on tap," typically 4 options, that you can sample. I had their original chai as a dairy free chai latte, and bought several bags of loose leaf tea. I loved the open, airy environment with natural light and there were so many drinks I wanted to try! I will be back!

    Stephan M.

    I have always been a coffee drinker and in the winter any warm drink will hit the spot! Ever since Chads Chai opened I find myself always gravitating towards other warm drinks and their Chai is always amazing. Will be back to try all of the different drinks.

As we were looking at the menu, they noticed that I was Filipino and even mentioned some items that weren't on the menu. She asked if I liked Ube (I LOVE UBE) and offered to make me an Ube latte! Not sure if maybe they plan on adding it to their menu or creating a seasonal or limited menu because it definitely wasn't listed, but I'm so glad she did because oh my goodness that might have been the best Ube latte I've ever had. A lot of times I find the coffee taste overpowers the Ube, but the way she made this latte I was very impressed. I could taste the Ube right away. Sad this place isn't closer to me. Not sure when we are coming back to the area, but if we ever do I am definitely coming back to try more of their things!
