I am not a fan of chai and neither is my husband, but we were pleasantly surprised and we really enjoyed it! It is more cinnamon forward and I think that is why we like it. We will definitely return as we'd like to play on one of the two billiards tables they have. I do wish they opened just an hour earlier though. Thank you guys for a...
