I got a Cub Chai which boasts ginger and spice more than sweet, and it was perfect for the rainy days weve been having. The space is open, welcoming, and located near the Civic center BART station. Delicious cup of chai!

I had the elephant chai and it was delicious service was good, the peace looked funky, pricing was ok Unfortunately it looked like there was maintenance or renovation work being done and I was there at an odd time, but generally it looks like it could be quite pillar and cool.
