The Chai Spot on Mott Street

Come relax in our beautiful tea lounge, purchase from beautiful handmade home and fashion goods and The journey begins February 2016!

Based on the successful model of The Chai Spot, where we have been able to touch many peoples hearts, provided income support to many women in Pakistan, sent children to school and more than anything started a discussion of peace beyond tolerance, where you fall in love with each other's differences! We will take chai tea, products made by women in Pakistan through Sughar Foundation and hit the ro

ad to at least 10 states where these discussions are a necessary step to coexistence. Here is a quick brief of the next steps:
We map out states and cities to visit, share them along with a calendar

- Buy a truck that tows a little food trailer for the chai and products made with love by women in Pakistan

- We begin work with women in small villages of Sindh and Balochistan in Pakistan to bring their handmade treasures to sell along with the chai

- We buy a second hand food trailer

- We host a community event in Sedona to paint the trailer in traditional Pakistani truck art! (More about it here: http://www.mangobaaz.com/pakistan-truck-art-aro...)

- We take off. Going to towns in selected states and cities and meet people at social, religious and educational gathering, have productive discussions and find common ground

- We report back about true humans, their true stories and their experiences of America present day

- We change mindsets, support women in Pakistan, send children to school and more than anything, start a discussion of love and co-existence that needs a little nudge

🌿QUICK FAQS ABOUT THE RECENT SALE
OF !

🌟 Why did we sell our Manhattan location of ?
David and I run 4 businesses, manage nonprofits and charity projects, and recently had our first baby girl! Things got too busy in our lives in 2022 where we both felt burnt out and decided that it was time to put our plan of franchising into action! We are making more changes in our lives as we walk into 2023, so that we slow down, recover and be ready to do more big things!

🌟Is it a complete New Ownership?
We have sold a license for to the amazing .nn in a structure where the Chai Spot will run more like a franchise, keeping the integrity of the place alive and continuing to give back to community projects in Pakistan. However, you might see new yummy items on the menu, fun new events, and updates that add value to the experience! ☺️💃

🌟 What does a franchise model mean for Chai Spot?
If this experience works, it will help us grow Chai Spot across the United States, where we plan to build and sell locations, or even partner with awesome people to build new locations. For now, David and I are aiming for a slower life to give baby Serafina an experience of childhood that I had growing up in Balochistan!💕

🌟 What happens to Sedona?
We launched the Sedona location using our wedding money after 6 months of our marriage in 2015! Both of us worked nonstop for 3 years to build it and learnt so much about working as a team, building a team, and running a complex business like this one. The Sedona location holds deep memories for us and we plan to (Insha Allah) never sell it🙏🏼

🌟 Are we going to build more Chai Spots?
Yes! When David and I first got married we decided to open a Chai Spot in each state to build bridges between USA and Pakistan, so no one else has to go through such hardship when bringing their two worlds together! 🥳 (More about our love story in ). We plan to continue working on that mission once we are rested 🌿

Ending 2022 with the biggest news of this year! David and I have sold our location!!🎉

This year was a year of growth for both of us as our companies grew and projects in Pakistan increased. But this growth brought a kind of clarity to us that we didn’t have before.

We both want to minimize our responsibilities, to create more space in our lives for slower things. More time in the wild.🌵More time with families. More time in general.

And hence mid 2022, we began the process of looking for people with heart, hard work and integrity to take one of our babies from us as a franchise. ✨Our very dear Manhattan location of

We also knew that doing this will set us up to create more franchises of this business in the future when we are ready.

We couldn’t have asked for better people than .nn and her brother Hamid who are the epitome of what this space is all about.❤️Who value the charity projects we do and who are in this business to build bridges between nations.

As the clock strikes 12am in 1 hour here in New York, I sit here with nothing but gratitude for all that life brings us. 🙏🏼 The space we created with all our hearts in 2018 will now be loved, cherished and protected by good hearted, hard working people. I couldn’t have asked for more.

Happy New Year Everyone, may you all be blessed 💕🙏🏼 - .Brohi
