Menu Highlights
Rooted in Heritage,
Brewed in Birmingham
Chai & Crumbs was born from a simple idea: bring the rich chai culture of South Asia to Birmingham's high street. Our founder grew up watching her grandmother brew chai on the stove — cardamom crushed by hand, milk simmered low and slow, served with warmth and conversation.
That same family recipe is what we serve today. Every cup is brewed fresh, every dish is 100% halal, and every guest is treated like family. We're proud to be part of Birmingham's story — a city that celebrates diversity, community, and great food.

Loved by Birmingham
The best chai I've ever had outside of my grandmother's kitchen. Chai & Crumbs is a genuine taste of home in the heart of Birmingham.
We use them for all our corporate meetings. The catering is always spot-on and their team are brilliant.
Perfect brunch spot. The halal breakfast is absolutely loaded and the coffee rivals any specialty place in Brum.
