It all started with a handwritten recipe book.
In the early ’90s, our founder, Noman, arrived in the U.S. carrying his mother’s cherished chai recipes. What began as a way to stay connected to home grew into a shared dream. During the pandemic, he and his son saw the need for comfort, connection, and culture—and in 2023, CupsnChai was born.
More than a café—this is our philosophy.
At CupsnChai, we believe in doing things the right way—with real ingredients, bold flavors, and heartfelt service. Every team member is part of our family, and every cup is crafted with care. Our mission is to create meaningful moments and authentic connections through South Asian chai, street food, and hospitality.
This is your space.
We’re here to be more than your favorite cafe. We’re your neighborhood hub, your cultural escape, your cozy go-to. Whether it’s a quick cup, a long conversation, or a casual meetup, CupsnChai is where you feel seen, welcomed, and inspired—one cup at a time.
