Masala Chai in West Edmonton

About Our Masala Chai

Real masala chai isn’t a tea bag — it’s a slow simmer. We brew strong black tea with milk, crushed cardamom, fresh ginger and a house spice mix, then boil it karak-style until it’s rich, aromatic and just sweet enough. It’s chai-house culture, brought to the Callingwood neighbourhood of West Edmonton.

Hot Mug Cafe is a true Indian café: espresso drinks, specialty beverages and lassis share the menu with chai, so there’s a cup for everyone at the table. Settle into our cozy seating for a chai date, a catch-up with friends or a quiet work session.
