Chiyaba

South asian/nepali style tea place.Rose hip tea blend was good. Seating can get full rather quickly on weekends so expect some queue. Cashless payments only, english menu is available.

A hidden gem for chai lovers! Rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced—this place takes chai seriously. Chill vibes, kind staff, and a perfect escape from the city rush. Pro tip: Go for the masala chai and pair it with one of their homemade snacks. Total win.

I found this cafe in a Japanese website and visited in a rainy day, I’m so glad I find this local gem. The interior is very tasteful and most importantly this is one of the best chai I have ever had, the spices infused nuts are great additional

Chiyaba was long on our visit list when it opened in 2022, but alas covid wouldn’t agreed to our travel plans. 3 years later, we arrived to this charming and charismatic space with a sleeping toddler, quite worried about his admission since we have a stroller on hand. But any reservation that we had was quickly put to ease when we were warmly invited by the tending staff who spoke perfect english to let ourselves be at our own comfort inside. It was inviting. We were surrounded by an alluring scent of spices that was playing softly in the background. Enough to be noticed, but not overwhelmingly attention seeking. The host introduced to us the menu and recommendation based on our preferences. The drinks were crafted in front of us and brewed to perfection - both hot and cold. The experience was a big highlight of our trip in Tokyo. We want to specially thank the shop manager who gifted us with such a hospitable stay and memorable servings of chai. Arigato gozaimasu.

The Cold Strike Mountain with Mini Sel Roti and Spice Nuts (¥1520) was very good. The drink smelled lovely, and I could taste the different spices. The nuts were also tasty and complemented the drink. The only thing I was not a fan of was the mini sel roti, as it was hard and rubbery, as if it had been sitting out or reheated.

Tried Nepali style chai and it was very good. I particularly loved the chaipresso where you get the best of both worlds. The sets come with small snacks which go well with the chai. The atmosphere is very warm and peaceful, it’s nicely decorated as if you’re transported into another place.

The Chaipresso was AMAZING so many flavor notes! The Strike Mountain (Masala chai) was very flavorful. The ginger notes hang after your done. The rice cookie was so flavorful as well with the thyme herb standing out! Excellent chai! I've got to come back yet the others! Be prepared to wait to sit inside. It's worth it.

A friend took me to this place, and it was lovely at first sight… everything from the decor to the vibe, service, tea, lighting, and staff. I felt welcomed and at home the moment I set foot in Chiyaba. The tea is made with intention, and the flavors/aromas are rich. The owner (Asumi) is a beautiful spirit. She was very warm, stylish, caring, and kind. Also, Akira put a smile on my face every time I was at the tea house. I will continue to recommend this tea house and will always return when I am in Tokyo.
