The best Chai Latte is one where sweet and spicy is not too overwhelming but at the same time milky enough to balance the strong flavours out. For the uninitiated, Chai Latte is black tea infused with the aromatic goodness of spices and herbs and finished with steamed milk. This might not be everyone’s cup of tea and may very well be an acquired taste.

A staple in most Australian coffee shops, Chai Latte is not common in Singapore and it is even tougher to find a good one. Fuelled by our love for Chai Latte, we have made it our mission to suss out the best Chai Lattes in Singapore. Without further ado, here are the best Chai Lattes in Singapore according to an enthusiast.

CRAFTSMEN SPECIALITY COFFEE SIGLAP V

Having been around since 2014, Craftsmen Speciality Coffee has gone on to establish several outlets across the island. Here, the Chai Latte (S$6) is well-bodied and comes with a cinnamon stick for those who love that extra kick of spice.

Not enough spice for you? They’ve got you covered with their 7 Spice Chai Latte (S$7).

OLLA SPECIALTY COFFEE

Unlike other establishments, fresh chai is used for their Masala Chai Latte (Soy) (S$5.50). The difference between fresh chai and powdered chai was apparent in the aromatic cup of tea – we could taste the subtle sweetness from the honey that the leaves were preserved it as well as the strong kick of spice. What you get here is full-on chai that is smooth and enjoyable.
