With gentle chatter in the background and the enticing aroma of freshly brewed chai wafting through the air, Buffalo Tea Chat instantly feels like a home away from home.

While the menu boasts a range of delectable options, the fuchka stands out as a must-try item. This innovative take on a beloved street food delicacy bursts with flavor and texture. Each crispy, delicate ball encases a delightful potato and parsley filling, tantalizingly spiced to perfection. Customer Scott Creary raves, “Get the fuchka!

One bite reveals a flaky crust that cradles a warm, spiced filling—absolutely delicious, according to Ayesha Khan who described it as having the “perfect amount of spice.” And how about pairing your food with tea? The café serves an array of teas, including the highly praised jaggery tea which receives accolades from patrons like Ikra Islam, ensuring that every sip is a blissful experience.

Get the fuchka! Amazing range of flavor and texture in every adorable, little, crispy ball of wonder. They’ve got some heat, but the heat compliments the potato/parsley filling masterfully. The price is another selling point. You get the most delicious tea of your life for $2!

We had a great experience We tried the milk tea, green tea, and jaggery tea all of them were absolutely delicious. My husband especially loved the jaggery tea. The owner’s warm and welcoming attitude made us feel right at home. Highly recommended

Such a cozy café! The cha tastes just like home—rich, milky, and full of flavor. I tried the vegetable chow mein, samosa, and fuchka, and all of them were delicious. The chow mein was perfectly stir-fried and not greasy, the samosa had a flaky crust with a warm spiced filling, and the fuchka was spot on—crispy with tangy tamarind water that reminded me of back home street food. The owners are so kind and welcoming too, makes the whole experience even better. Definitely my new go-to spot!

Love this neighborhood tea spot!! Everything we had was amazing and had a true taste of Bangladesh. The fuchka shots were so fun and innovative (tasted delicious too). And the piping hot shingara was my personal favourite with the perfect amount of spice! And of course the cha in cute clay cups were so tasty. Definitely recommend!!

If you are looking for a place that still makes food with love AND flavor then look no further. Everything is made fresh to order so expect a small wait time but it is worth it. You HAVE to try their version of “fuchka shot”.. their cha was amazing taste.. This is my very first sudden visit but I'm already looking forward to the next….

Excellent hidden gem! It was one of the few cafes open until late night so I went. Loved the cozy atmosphere but even more liked the owners' kindness. They recommended an Indian tea for me and it was absolutely delicious (tastes like a black milk tea but sweeter). They even offered some free food to try. What a charm.
