Bondi Chai at the Grey Gum Cafe on Putty Road

Happy Easter from Bondi Chai

Wishing all our fans a Happy Easter - remember that both chocolate and hot cross buns taste better when washed down with a nice hot cup of Bondi Chai. Hope you all get a chance to relax with friends and family :)

BONDI CHAI IN DEMAND

There is never a dull moment at Bondi Chai central - and that's the way we like it. Have had cafes contacting us from Cobar (NSW) to Cowes (Vic), Moora (WA) and Copping (TAS) in the last 24 hours all wanting Bondi Chai for their customers :)

What do you like about Bondi Chai??

I need your help - we guess you must like Bondi Chai because you're a fan but we just don't know exactly why you like Bondi Chai? Is it because we use natural ingredients and no nasties? Is it because you use milk and not hot water? Is it because we've won lots of gold medals? Or maybe because you just like our name?? Tell us what we got right so we can make sure we keep doing it right - look forward to any feedback you are willing to give :)

Bondi Chai available at Kool Spot Cafe, 12 Carnarvon Street, Broome

We love to hear from people around the country serving Bondi Chai - and for all of our far flung fans we are happy to tell you that the Kool Spot Cafe at 12 Carnarvon Street (Chinatown) in Broome are serving Bondi Chai. So if you're a local or just visiting Broome make sure to drop in for breakfast or lunch 7 days a week and say hi to Vinka and the team.

Bondi Chai at Red Annex, Traralgon

We try and spread Bondi Chai far and wide (not just the capital cities) - for instance, if you live in Traralgon then you can get your fix at Red Annex. We'd love to hear from any fans around the country who live outside the main cities and where you get your supply of Bondi Chai :) Let us know how far we've spread??

Bondi Chai Single Serve Sachets available at Crisp On Creek, Mount Gravatt

If you are one of the many people in Brisbane who bought some of our single serve sachets at the Good Food and Wine Show and now can't find them again, I am happy to tell you that Crisp On Creek at Mount Gravatt are now stocking these packs. Still working on a few more outlets - if you have a deli or grocer near you that you think should stock them let me know :)

Bondi Chai at Gluten Free Foods, Mornington Peninsular

If you live on the Mornington Peninsula (Vic) then you are in luck - Gluten Free Foods Mornington stock our 250g packs :)

Bondi Chai - GLUTEN FREE

Did you know that Bondi Chai is GLUTEN FREE? In fact, we believe that we are the only chai powder that is - how? Because we make Bondi Chai to mix with milk and not water (like all the other chai powders) then we don't have to add the wheat based thickeners :)

Central Coast Outlets for Bondi Chai??

To the fans on the NSW Central Coast we need your help. We don't have anyone stocking our product in your area and we are desperate to get someone onboard - the Central Coast definately needs Bondi Chai as much as the rest of the country! Are there any outlets you would recommend so we can make another attempt?

Congratulations to Elixir Coffee

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the team at Elixir Coffee for their medal wins at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show :)

If you're in the CBD make sure to drop in for a warming chai and say "hi" from us.
