North Fork Chai Co.

Great coffee and pastries. A small, homey place with tasty treats. I highly recommend the scones!

My husband and I finally got to visit North Fork Chai this morning and it was amazing!!! We got the signature chai which was possibly the best I’ve ever had. Not overly sweet and had all of the spice you expect from a great chai. The breakfast sandwich and burrito were both delicious and the chipotle aioli spread was so flavorful, definitely get extra for dipping! Last but not least, we split a strawberry oat crumble scone…so fresh, lightly crispy and with a buttery tender crumb. Needless to say we will be back as often as we can!

Anytime I’m driving up to Truckee, or just making my way that way, I will stop by NorthFork Chai. As the name says, they are known for their chai (and even sell it as a concentrate!), but do NOT sleep on their breakfast! Especially their breakfast sandwich. When you order the breakfast sandwich, it’s like a build-your-own, and they have different greens, cheeses, and spreads to choose from. You can also add avocado or meat for additional charge. They sell a bunch of their homemade ingredients in their cafe as well, which I love browsing through. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area, or going out of your way (it’s worth it!)

A great locally owned coffee and tea house. Out of the way, but worth it for the quality and lower prices. They make their own chai, and the best scones in the region!

Amazing place,amazing owners! and best spot in all placer county !

Like a hug in your mug.

This place is incredible! From their barista pulling perfect espresso shots, to the beautiful latte art he pours while in a casual conversation. Their food they sell is fantastic. I haven’t tried it all but I love the vinegars and of course the Chai. First timers go for the dirty Chai. You won’t regret it! And in PSL season go for the Pumpkin Chai.

No indoor seating so chilly morning sunrises are cozy with everyone in line trying to stay warm. And bring a big blanket to wrap up in on the front porch.

My wishlist:
Outdoor heaters for their cute outdoor space
Gluten free food options, they have a very limited selection
Soy milk
Open at 7

The chai and food are bomb, the hours are not. I understand the wholesale aspect, but what local shops sell your scones and food?

Adorable cafe near Auburn with lots of local goods to buy. Absolutely delicous dirty chai and a tasty breakfast sandwich. The girl working the counter was really friendly too. A great stop to/from Tahoe on 80.

This is my favorite scone place. I used to drive up for my mom and I a few times a year, but haven't been there since she passed unexpectedly. But I was driving by this morning and decided to stop. They've added a lot more seating with a lovely open ambiance. And an avocado toast with egg salad that changed my whole day, it was so good. Worth the drive!
