Cuppa Chaii becomes the first chaii brand to open in a UK railway station
South Western Railway customers at Vauxhall Station can now enjoy an authentic range of chaii, specialty coffees and juices—alongside freshly prepared paninis, parathas, pastries, and traditional South Asian snacks—thanks to the arrival of Cuppa' Chaii, the first ever chaii shop to open in a UK train station.
Cuppa' Chaii's expansion across the UK builds on its successful Wimbledon flagship, emphasizing its commitment to authentic South Asian flavors rooted in family recipes from Karachi since 1966. By blending tradition with modernity, the brand aims to foster community connections through warm, inviting atmospheres, high-quality ingredients, and a unique culinary experience that celebrates heritage while appealing to contemporary tastes.
“Opening at Vauxhall marks a major turning point. Transport hubs are ideal for a grab-and-go product like Karak Chaii, and we’re proud to be pioneering this space,” commented Dawood Bush, Franchisor of Cuppa Chaii.
Established in 2022, Cuppa Chaii currently has stores open in The Broadway, Wimbledon, Vauxhall Railway Station (first chaii brand in a UK train station), Wallington High Street, Bromley High Street, Fallowfield, Manchester and Nazimabad, Karachi (international). We also have a healthy pipeline of stores including Birmingham, Shepherd's Bush, Newcastle, Slough and Edinburgh (our first in Scotland, target launch Q1 2026).
We are looking for partners across the UK. Hospitality experience is preferred but not essential. Contact us today to find out more…
