Cupsnchai — Restaurant in Ann Arbor

Ikram Nawabi is such an amazing soul! From the moment we walked in, his warmth and genuine hospitality made us feel completely welcome. The way he served us was truly phenomenal every detail was handled with so much care and attention. You can really tell he’s passionate about what he does and takes great pride in making sure his guests have a wonderful experience. The Chai was absolutely perfect rich, aromatic, and brewed to perfection with just the right balance of spices. The cookies paired beautifully with it; they were fresh, buttery, and full of flavor. You could taste the quality and effort put into everything. The café itself is stunning, with a cozy and elegant design that creates such a relaxing atmosphere. Every corner feels thoughtfully decorated from the warm lighting to the artistic touches that give the space its unique character. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, have great conversations, and truly enjoy your time.

Overall, Ikram and the café have created something really special. The combination of excellent service, delicious Chai, delightful treats, and beautiful ambiance makes this spot a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to...

Awful all around.

Coming in, we were excited to try the coffees. The menu had a lot of options, and the theme of the restaurant seemed nice. We ordered 3 coffees, 2 of them just black coffee.

I am not sure what's wrong with their black coffee. It could've been the filter not being replaced, but it had a rancid smell, like it's rotten, and the taste was even worse, extremely bitter and disgusting all around. I couldn't take more than one sip of it.

We informed the staff at the front. They remade one to try, and it was the same exact issue. They just stated that it's fresh. They didn't offer any solutions, nor a replacement with another drink, nor a refund.

We left the drinks with them, and left. It woukd seem to me that this is normal for them.

Edit: The owner responded this is a fake review, so in addition I added my in person transaction. I add a lot of review as can be seen on my account, so sometimes I wait and do them all at once as I've done now.

Its sad really. They'd rather just discredit the review, than fix the problems they're having. There is also another review stating the same issue, so clearly it's not one single...

Cute chai place!! I’ve gone to a couple pregames/tailgates with spiked chai from this place which has been FIRE but finally went to the real thing!! I got the karak chai which was delicious and tasted like genuine chai in India (more like spiced black tea vibes) and syd got the amore chai which was more french vanilla vibes. Came here again and got samosas which were good but not the traditional casing (maybe baked instead of fried?) and their chicken wrap which was pretty fire! Vibes are kinda like middle eastern cafes with like a gold and white marble vibe, and lots of tables for studying it has your back when the other cafes are full!! oh and Noman is the NICEST OWNER!!!

My one recommendation would be to offer smaller more affordable sizes...
