sit and sip

Welcome to Sayali Café — we saved you a sip :)


Sayali Café is more than just a place to enjoy a cup of tea, it’s a space created by two South Asian best friends who wanted to bring a little more softness into the world. We built Sayali because we craved drinks ( and a community ! ) that celebrate joy, ease, and real connection in a world that moves too fast and glorifies constant hustle.

Here, cultures, stories, and people come together. With every sip, you taste the warmth of tradition, the intention behind our craft, and the comfort of moments that feel soft, safe, and familiar — like a warm hug from home.

At Sayali, every moment feels a little more special, and every visit feels like coming home to yourself.
