A Deepdale cafe for donuts and chai
Local, not a franchise. Open from breakfast until late, every day of the week.
Chaii Stop is a cafe at 169 St Paul’s Road in Deepdale, Preston. It opens at 9am every day and stays open until 10:30pm, or 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, so it works for a desi breakfast, a late chai, or a box of donuts on the way home.
The donuts are what most people come for: they come up in 131 Google reviews. Chai comes up in 103, from karak to pink tea, and desi food in 85, with the breakfasts, parathas and samosa chaat named again and again. There’s a newer grill menu too, and Mum’s bread and butter pudding, a homemade recipe.
It’s a local business run by Usman Hussain and his team, not a franchise. At the counter there’s a phone jail: lock your phone away for your visit and you get a discount on your bill. Chaii Stop also has shops on New Hall Lane in Preston and in Blackburn; this site is for the St Paul’s Road cafe.
“The staff are always attentive, friendly, and welcoming… Well done, Usman & team.”
