"Steps from the UC Berkeley campus, Elaichi Co. pours piping-hot, just-poured chai blooming with aromatic black pepper and cardamom, offers a full espresso menu, and hosts rotating pop-ups (from collaborators like Nani Khatai and Babo’s Concept Kitchen); owners Muhammad “Mojo” and Zainab Joyo frame the shop as a celebration of Pakistani drinks and culture and a space that helps preserve a longing for home." - Paolo Bicchieri
