Alta coffee in Newport (Chris’ recommendation, I have doubts but it’s okay. Ordered a mixed chai (between spicy and vanilla) and it was $7.75 but it looks giant so. Always follow your intuition because this is some weird oaty tiger chai thing. )

Bay books coffee (coronado) (this is that weird ass powder shit that’s like weirdly vanilla and sweet, idk it was exactly what I expected because it was one of those places with like a stupid amount of drinks with frappe‘s and milkshakes and shit)

Better buzzed in mission beach (I need to figure out the actual flavor notes of tiger chai bc I can’t keep going places saying it tastes like tiger chai because none of you know what I’m talking about. it’s just like this sickly sweet shit anyways this KIND OF tastes like tiger chai, lowk fruity? I would say points for cinnamon but you can’t actually taste any spices anyways.)

Blue bottle Newport?!?!?! (Had to order double beverage when I saw that blue bottle had Chai now! It’s very strong, just like a pretty concentrated spice flavor. I think more nutmeg than anything but it’s a real dark color and it kind of has that fruity flavor. Leaves your mouth a little dry after each sip? Meh, won’t get again)

Coffee box Carlsbad (lowk just milk)

Luna Coffee bar (cayucos) (p solid, a little weak but not too shabby for a torani syrup coffee shop)

Seaside surf cafe in La Jolla (sweet and prominent cinnamon flavor not creamy but not completely thinned out either, bonus points for cinnamon on top)
