Piping hot chai with Parle-G biscuits—it’s a classic, comforting combination that’s been a staple in South Asian homes for decades. Now this timeless duo’s getting a delicious upgrade on New Jersey and California’s whimsical mobile chai station, La Chai Cart.

Founded by diehard tea lovers, La Chai Cart is a gourmet chai and sweets station that comes bedecked with decorations as mouthwatering as the spread. Lotus Biscoff cheesecake bites. Ras malai tres leches cake. Chaimisu. Is your mouth watering yet?!

Full of sweet treats, this cart is a paradise on wheels (well, classic vintage wheels). And the best part is that it’s all customized to your aesthetic. Whether your event’s theme is a Bridgerton-inspired garden party or a sleek modern fête, there’s a La Chai Cart setup to match.

Location

La Chai Cart is located in Lomita, CA on the West Coast and in Woodbridge, NJ on the East Coast.

Price

La Chai Cart lets you choose from an array of packages based on the number of cup servings. Starting from an $800 package that serves 100 cups up to a package serving 500 cups, you have 9 service options to choose from.

Each package comes with carts that are fully decorated according to your color scheme with matching assorted dipped tea biscuits. Sugars, cups, stirrers, and small plates are included. They also offer a refreshing range of beverages like traditional teas and flavored lemonades.

You can also go for their scrumptious specialty add-ons like Chaimisu or Tres Leches shot glasses for an added cost.
