Kataluma Chai Company will open next month with a grand opening weekend Oct. 16-18 when patrons can get a free cup of chai latte or free scoop of ice cream during the opening weekend. A ribbon cutting ceremony is slated for Oct. 14.
The gourmet tea cafe at 1470 Main St. will offer chai teas, coffee and bagels, breakfast pastries, and desserts, in addition to free Wi-Fi and study areas. (I don’t know about you but I think we could use some decent bagels within walking distance of downtown.) The cafe is leasing about 650 square feet from the adjacent Niece’s Pieces.
It’s the first Kataluma Chai on the East Coast, with existing locations in Lakewood, Colo. and Silverdale, Wash. Rahway residents Aisha Thomas-Petit and Danielle Etienne decided to open the cafe after a visit to Colorado.
LOVE Chai tea. I'm looking forward to this! I hope they do well!
Hopefully is fares better than A Little Bit Healthier which is now out of business.
Yay! I'm excited for a new place to hang out in downtown. Hopefully a lot of people will support their business.
what better way to support them than to organize a Rahway rising reader meet there?I'm game.
Poeple lets get behind the decent stores in this town . Instead of the four hundred babershops that open up
Mark, have you heard anything about VOCs found in Rahway water?
Nope. But what are VOCs?
Well? What are VOCs?
We went last week The place was great. The people could not be nicer. We look forward to spending many nights there
(I'm not the original poster about VOCs, just a guy who lives in Rahway and knows what they are.)VOCs are Volatile Organic Compouds, a class of pollutants with a variety of known and suspected health effects. Technically, any compound including carbon (organic) that is in the gaseous state or boils (volatile) at a low temperature, is a VOC.The Safe Water Act regulates concentrations of some VOCs in water.Tetrachloroethane, your favorite dry-cleaning chemical, is a common VOC (which is why the marketing pitch "organic cleaners" always cracks me up — all dry cleaners are organic). Methane is another.I haven't heard anything about VOCs in Rahway water, but I'd like to, if they're there.
