Est. In A Warm Cup, Melbourne

Every sip
needs a dip.

Welcome to Chai Biskit — a slow-brewed chai counter and Indian snack kitchen. Come in, pull up a seat, and let a hand-simmered cup of masala chai and something fresh off the tawa do the talking. This is a place built for staying a while.

A Short Lesson

What is chai, really?

Not a tea bag left to steep, and not a syrup pumped into steamed milk. Real chai is built, not brewed — loose black tea, milk, and whole spice go into the pot together and simmer low until the colour turns and the kitchen smells like it. That's what gives it the rounded, almost creamy body a quick steep can't fake.

It's also less a drink and more an excuse. In homes, offices, and street corners across India, chai is what gets poured when someone needs to sit for a minute — chai pe charcha, "chai and conversation," is practically a compound word. We've just moved the ritual to a Melbourne counter.

🌿

Cardamom · Elaichi

Floral and a little sweet — the backbone of almost every masala blend.

🫚

Ginger · Adrak

Fresh-crushed, not powdered, for real heat and warmth in every sip.

🌰

Clove · Laung

Deep and slightly smoky — a little goes a long way.

🪵

Cinnamon · Dalchini

Rounds the blend out with a gentle, warming sweetness.

⚫

Black Pepper · Kali Mirch

A sharp finish, traditionally the first thing added when someone's coming down with a cold.

Our Story

A familiar feeling,
a long way from home.

“Chai has always meant a pause in the day, a seat at the table, and someone to share it with.”

We’re Bhumika and Vivek, the brother-sister duo behind Chai Biskit. For us, chai has never been just a drink. It's the first cup of the morning, the “come, sit for five minutes” that turns into an hour, and those little pauses in a busy day. And somehow, there was always a biskit nearby.

So we brought that feeling to Melbourne: authentic chai, nostalgic bites, and a counter where everyone belongs. Pull up a seat. We’ll put the kettle on.

With love, Bhumika & Vivek — Founders

01

That simple ritual is what inspired Chai Biskit

We wanted to bring the warmth and nostalgia of the chai we grew up with into a modern Australian café—keeping the flavours familiar, the experience welcoming, and adding our own Melbourne touch.

From a comforting cup of chai to the food that takes you back home, everything at Chai Biskit is about creating a place where people can pause, connect, and feel a little bit at home.

The best moments don't always need an occasion

Sometimes, all you need is good company, a hot cup of chai, and something to dip.

Growing the same way we started — together

Chai Biskit began with two people who believed good chai brings people closer. We're not an untested idea on paper — our kiosk inside Southern Cross Station has been trading successfully in one of Melbourne's highest-footfall environments, giving us real experience in fast takeaway service, commuter demand, and consistent quality at pace. Now we're looking for franchise partners across Australia who share that same belief — same roots, shared vision, a cup fuller together.

  • A genuine love for chai culture and hospitality
  • A high-footfall location — retail strip, transport hub, or shopping centre, anywhere in Australia
  • Hands-on involvement, not a passive investment

This is an early-stage enquiry, not a binding application — we'll follow up personally to talk through fit, territory, and next steps.
