I’ve tried many chai lattes around and think that Yafa Bakery & Cafe (https://maps.app.goo.gl/zAJ2TQJeeNzAUdFc9?g_st=ic) on Somerville Ave has the best, most flavorful chai — most similar to what you’d get in India! (And they have lots of Middle Eastern treats to accompany your chai).

Am curious to hear other recommendations!!

Yafa would be my pick too! Very kind people running the bakery and the chai is perfect. Very similar to Indian chai with cardamom

Also the owner just seems like a beam of joy every time I walk in. Even if his chai and food was crap (which they aren't) I'd still probably go once a month just for the good energy.

I checked 'em out today. I didn't see chai on the menu right away, I ask if they have it, he goes "you can try our chai!" and promptly pours a sample. It was top notch, so I got a big one. Yafa seems like a great addition to Camberville I will be back!

To you and all the Yafa recommenders... wow that chai slaps! Very strong spice flavor (cardamom and another I couldn't quite place) with a good amount of tea. It was absolutely delicious on a cold afternoon.
