Our goals & history
After 14 years in Seattle’s tech industry, working at companies like Microsoft and startups, we found ourselves yearning for something more personal—a cozy space to unwind after work, grab a late-night bite, and sip on something that felt like home. That craving led to Chai Sutra.
Born from a deep love for Indian chai culture and a hunger for flavorful, quick bites, Chai Sutra is our dream to bring a taste of India to Seattle. It’s more than just a café—it’s a modern-day baithak. A place where conversations flow, flavors burst, and community thrives.
Whether you’re craving an authentic cup of chai, a bold coffee, or a vibrant meal with Indian flair, pull up a chair. We’re here to serve moments worth sipping and stories worth sharing.

our food philosophy
At Chai Sutra, every ingredient tells a story—of sustainability, tradition, and conscious choices.
We believe good food begins with good intent. That’s why we serve organic, locally sourced, handpicked ingredients, embracing a plastic-free, meat-free approach that’s kind to both people and planet. Our menu proudly features vegan options, staying inclusive while celebrating flavor.
Rooted in the rich traditions of Indian chai culture, we bring you not just authentic chai, but also exceptional coffee, irresistible quick bites, wholesome large plates, and decadent desserts inspired from around the world.
Every sip and every bite is crafted with love—because nourishing the soul is just as important as feeding the body.
