Chaiwale & Co.

Found this little gem in old town orange. They have really good masala chai. And yes... it's chai, not chai tea :)I tried their masala chai with almond milk - really concentrated and can tell that they make it there. They advised the chai is already lightly sweetened in the making. It's not overly sweet and just a tad enough to enjoy.In the cold weather, get yourself a cup of chai and enjoy it there. They have some sofa chairs and tables. I see some people being very comfortable there, hanging out for girls time, playing some games that they also provide...Seems like they have a lot of regulars.They have their merch to sell on the side.Indoor and outdoor seating are available.

Vibe: I loved working from home here! It a lively and friendly place to work. They have a mix of table seating & comfy seats for chatting. Drinks: I got the Iced Karak Chai and it was soo yummy! I loved how sweet and flavorful it was. Apparently it's stronger when you drink it hot so keep that in mind but would definitely get this again! Service: I was intimidated by the drink choices but the staff were really friendly and answered all my questions with no judgement. They talked to all of the customers and were very sweet. Other: Theres a couple of outlets available and a limited amount of street parking. They also have pastries here they make in house.

I absolutely love to come here for the free WiFi and the best drinks. I met one of the employees Quincy and he was really friendly with me and I'm thankful for that. I was also really intrigued by the aesthetic decorations in this place. The place is really welcoming if they were open at 2 am.

This place is so cute!! The staff is great, and you can definitely feel it's a family owned business. The chicken butter burrito was delicious, and tasted just as good the next day as well! I think this is a wonderful little café to catch up with friends or family, and sometimes they have live music, which can definitely add to the ambience.

I've been following this establishment on my social media for a while, and I was so happy that I finally got to check it out. The vibe, decor, and ambiance were lovely. I liked the details they added around the place. For example, they have kettles hanging from the ceiling. Their food is delicious and full of flavor. The service was excellent. A lady welcomed us and greeted us upon our arrival. I will be going back to try other items on the menu. Try their donuts! The rose matcha one is delicious.

After traveling to India, we were looking for authentic Chai in SoCal. Chaiwale is the real deal! We have tried all of their Chais (we highly recommend the Saffron Chai!)The brothers who we see here all the time are very friendly and welcoming. We are excited to try their burritos next time (Butter Chicken Burrito??)

Great place for a tea and dessert!!! We had the chai marsala tea and the rose latte. Both were delicious!! We also had rose pistachio loaf, which was amazing! I wanted another slice. They have a large selection of desserts. I will definitely be back!The staff was helpful and explained the menu in detail. The business was clean and nicely decorated. There is a lo of street parking.

My friend and I really enjoyed coming here. There are so many delicious-looking items that it took us a while to decide and look at the menu. The folks at the register were so nice and offered information, help with choosing, and answered all of our questions. In the end, my friend got the saffron chai with oat milk, I got the karak chai with whole milk, and we split the butter chicken burrito, mango lassi cheesecake, masala chai scone, and mango milk cake. Everything was very good. My friend really enjoyed her saffron chai with oat milk, and my karak chai was delicious. My favorite dessert items were the mango ones. I think I just prefer the mango flavors, and they were nice and moist. The masala chai scone had great flavor but was very dry, as my friend and I have noted a lot of scones in general to be. I think the butter chicken burrito could have been spicier, but I do have a higher spice love and tolerance than the average person. I'm definitely interested to come back and try more items!

I passed by this spot all the time in the Circle before I finally stopped in and I wished I came here sooner! Amazing quality and selection of chai, delicious desserts, and creative decor. The service is also always fast and kind, too.I like to get the masala chai, so rich and good, and I've gotten the chicken tikka burrito, which is very delicious, and the kulfi tres leches cake, which is legendary.Love coming back here!

You can just walk in, order and grab a seat inside/outside. This was quite possibly the best pistachio latte I have ever had! Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try anything from the food menu but I will be back! Parking: there's a parking lot behind and there's street parking
