Abbotsford Cafe Known For 3 Things:
Donuts, Chai Lattes, and Friendly People.
We serve the highest quality food and drinks. Our food is locally sourced.
Yes, we’ve got coffee and we definitely have tea but come in and you might notice that we’re a little different than regular coffee shops. We opened our doors on the 1st of December back in 2011 and we’ve grown with one core concept in mind, Love. This has allowed us to create a thriving community of friends and family who share our values. It doesn’t matter what background you come from or what religion you follow we are all human. Everything we build and create comes from this foundation; we hope you’ll come along for the journey.
-your local Abbotsford cafe
SippChai Cafe opened its doors on Dec 1st of 2011. The idea was to be an alternative to the mainstream way of things. Today, life is busy on the go. Fast pace, fast service, fast food, deadlines, and drive-throughs. Where people don’t have the time to sit and enjoy their beverages anymore. And, even if they do decide to stay and relax, the seats are always hard and uncomfortable! Well, not here at SippChai Cafe. Every seat in the house is comfortable. Almost like a living room away from home. Being Indian, we put our focus on Chai (tea). The tradition of Chai is an old ritual. When guests come over they are always greeted with Chai. It’s a time of sitting back and enjoying the moment. Whether to be social or just sit back and relax. We do offer more than just Chai. Serving all local products, we have Ethical Beans Coffee, Birchwood Dairy Ice Cream, Circle Square Donuts and some homemade food such as Wraps, Soup and Butter Chicken. Breakfast Lunch and Dinner.
It was 2 cups of tea, one in India and one in Germany that help change my perception of life. Now our slogan is, “Helping change Lives One Cup at a Time”. We are very community oriented and sponsor/donate to many causes.
Come check us out. You will be back.

This place came highly recommended. We didn't have time to stay and enjoy the ambiance for long but picked out some donuts (the peanut butter chocolate one was amazing!), a Chai Latte & Chai frappe.

Started off well, friendly staff!Ordered a coffee, an americano, cinnamon coffee cake (delicious and moist) and a breakfast English muffin with egg, ham and cheese.Sat down with our coffees and cake. Waited about 15 minutes for the English muffin. They forgot to make it. Another few minutes and was told their English muffins were moldy, so I opted for a bagel withe the same ingredients. Another five or so, I got a nice looking breakfast bagel with everything very fresh looking. Unfortunately the bagel wasn't toasted, the cucumbers slices were almost a 1/4" thick, no ham and I couldn't tell how the egg was cooked. All I know is that is was a solid UFO shaped nugget in the middle of the bagel. I tried to eat it without making a mess but it all just slid apart. The egg was hard cooked and the whites appeared shredded. Like I said, I've never seen an egg look like this before.All I can say is that whoever prepared it, it looked like it was their first attempt at it.

The owner is super friendly and personable. The donuts are really good and the sippchai latte is nice. I don’t love how there are no posted prices. I like to be prepared when I pay and sometimes choose items based on price as inflation is out of control.

Just dropped by for a coffee and found a huge assortment of fresh donuts, too. Staff are awesome! Everyone so friendly. Chai latte was so flavourful. I couldn’t resist the donuts. Took home six. Already tastes two…… so yummy. Will definitely return.

Had a great experience here. The Sip Chai Latte is a must if you haven't tried it. Very unique flavor and taste. This clearbrook location is the right one to go to. Very good homestyle food that doesn't make you feel sick. Reasonably priced and friendly owner/service! Will be back and tell others. Also they have the best Donuts in Abbotsford hands down. Enjoy!

We stumbled into this cafe by accident - by all accounts it should have been closed, as we came in after closing hours, but the owners and proprietors were kind enough to brew up two of their chai lattes for us, as well as being patient enough to explain the process and options available. Add to the fact that it's a lovely, cozy space with a relaxed atmosphere and you have a winner of a coffee spot here. Check it out!

Jas has provided an amazing and welcoming environment to everyone. While the drinks and service are fantastic, the opportunities that he has provided to performing artists of all types is what really makes this place (and the artists) shine. He clearly has a love for the community, and that showw in everything that he does.

Fantastic Chai! Friendly owner and relaxing interior. Outside tables are fun for casual meetings with friends. Even though it's pretty noisy in the area, you can still hear each other well enough to engage. Convenient location if you're headed either direction on highway 1.

One of our families favourite places to stop and enjoy a cup. Always exceptional service and a warm atmosphere. Today we stopped by twice. The second time to have their wonderful Chai milkshake. Yum.

Found this little gem while out for a drive. We weren’t sure from the signage outside but we thought we’d check it out anyways. Cute place! Eclectic decor, super friendly owner and my chai latte is damn good! Hubby said his coffee is good and so is the cookie! Worth checking out!Added note: I should mention that they offer house made butter chicken which we didn’t order! Drat!! Next time!

Hands down the best Chai I've had. My Starbucks Chai latte's just don't cut it now. I love the involvement in the community as well, and the events planned in the cafe. Keep up the good work! 🙂

You can tell the owner really cares. We went in for a coffee on the way to camping and he was super friendly, not in a fake Starbucks way. I ended up getting the chai and it was seriously the best chai I’ve ever had! My partner got a latte which he said was alright.

It really is the best. Cozy atmosphere, more teas to choose from than you could ever choose from, and ownership is pretty great, too!If you haven't been, you've gotta go. I'd give 10 stars outta 5 if I could!

I needed a place to study and was not from this city. This place was a total hidden gem. Big comfy chairs, an extra charger for every phone, gender neutral washrooms, relaxed/ laid back atmosphere and the owner is funny! Good coffee/tea and super accommodating! You should definitely check this place out!

Cozy and inviting. Coffee is fair trade and organic, but they are really known for their excellent Chai drinks! Staff makes you feel welcome and encourages you to stay. You'll want to stay to try more than one of the vast selections of teas. Good luck picking one. Or just go straight for the Chai!

Once you go, you won't help becoming a returning customer! Love it there, best customer service in town, good prices and the most delicious chai tea and butter chicken. A real authentic gem in Abbotsford and you'll love the atmosphere. Good place for groups or by yourself and a perfect place for a nice date!

Jaz is great! He knows and exemplifies customer service better than any other business owner I know. As you might expect, the chai is excellent as well. While sometimes it is a bit crowded, it offers nice atmosphere and very comfortable, even cozy, seating.

Locally owned with plenty of seating. If you're looking for a quick stop or a place to settle in with some friends, SippChai is worth the trip. If you come at the right times of year, there are even festive decorations. Plenty of tea and coffee options, but it doesn't stop there. Soups, milk shakes, food options and more are all available.If you're looking for something a bit less commercial, they won't disappoint.
