Varli in Williston Park: Chai Review

Varli in Williston Park, New York serves three different kinds of chai, or tea. They also serve Indian street food.

Although I’ve had a number of delicious meals there (including breakfast on the weekend), this review will focus on the three types of chai that Varli serves.

I visited Varli in Williston Park several times before writing this review of their chai. It was important to me to try their different types of chai on different visits.

Review of Humble Cafe in Williston Park

Although Humble Cafe in Williston Park focuses on high quality coffee that it roasts on the premises, it also has some very good tea choices–particularly for tea lattes. In this post, I’m happy to share my reflections on the cafe’s vibe and what it offers tea lovers. (This post was updated in June 2024.)
