Walk into Blossom Chai Cafe on Historic Murphy Avenue and you’ll notice something most “Indian cafe” listings don’t prepare you for: the menu doesn’t stay in one lane. Yes, there’s masala chai, brewed fresh with cardamom and ginger. But there’s also bubble tea steeped in jasmine and oolong, Korean-style shaved-ice bingsu piled with mango or strawberry, wood-fired-style personal pizzas, and grilled Italian paninis sitting right alongside pani puri and samosa chaat. Blossom isn’t trying to be one thing — it’s built for a downtown Sunnyvale crowd that wants all of it in a single stop, steps from the Caltrain station.

This guide breaks down every section of that menu — chai and coffee, boba and matcha, lassi and juice, Indian street food, dessert, and the panini/pizza line — the way it’s actually organized at Blossom, so you know what to order before you’re standing at the counter. It’s also the hub for four more-specific guides published this month: a National Watermelon Day feature, a real explainer on what separates fresh-brewed chai from a syrup-based chai latte, a guide to Blossom’s role in the Saturday morning Sunnyvale Farmers’ Market routine, and a back-to-school snack-and-study guide for families settling back into the fall schedule.

Chai and Coffee: The Foundation

Blossom’s chai list runs deep — Masala Chai, Tulsi Chai, Rose Chai, Chocolate Chai, Ginger Chai, Saffron Chai, Kadak Chai, Cinnamon Chai, Paan Chai, Cardamom Chai, Pink Chai, and Pistachio Chai all appear as distinct offerings, brewed with fresh tea leaves for every single order — nothing pre-made, nothing reused, straight from the cafe’s own stated brewing philosophy. Alongside the chai sits a full espresso bar: Filter Coffee, Espresso, Americano, Cappuccino, Indian Latte, Matcha Latte, White Mocha, Chocolate Mocha, Indian Coffee, Chai Latte, Dalgona, Dubai Pistachio, Peanut Coconut, and Spanish Latte, all listed as 12 oz hot pours, with iced versions of most of these available in the 16 oz cold coffee lineup.

Boba, Milk Tea, and Matcha

For the boba crowd, Blossom runs a full Taiwanese-style program: Osmanthus Oolong Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, White Grape Oolong Tea, Hojicha Roasted Green Tea, and Peach Oolong Tea in the regular boba lineup ($4.99 each), plus a matcha bar (Mango Matcha Latte, Strawberry Matcha Latte, Passion Fruit Matcha Latte, Black Sugar Matcha Latte, all $5.75) and a milk tea bar (Jasmine Green Milk Tea, White Grape Oolong Milk Tea, Hojicha Roasted Green Milk Tea, Peach Oolong Milk Tea, Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea, Thai Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Oatmilk Latte, Matcha Milk Latte, and Taro Milk Tea, all $5.75). A Fruit Tea line (Lemon Jasmine Tea, Strawberry Jasmine Tea, Mango Jasmine Tea, $5.50 each) rounds out the cold tea case.

Lassi, Milkshakes, and Fresh Juice

The Indian side of the cold-drink menu holds its own: Mango Lassi, Shahi Lassi, and Namkeen Lassi at $6 each, plus a milkshake line — Badam Milk ($7, almond), Pink Milk ($5.49), and Mango Nada ($7.50, a blended mango milkshake). Fresh juice options include Orange Juice, Carrot Juice, and Mix Juice, all $6.69.

Indian Street Food and Chaat

This is where Blossom earns its “Indian cafe” identity most directly. The Indian Street Food section runs Chole Mutter Kulche, Papdi Chaat, Samosa Chaat, Sev Puri, Dahi Bhalle, and Aloo Chaat (all $8.49), Samosa Bun ($5.49), Spring Roll ($4.99), Paneer Kulcha ($8.50), and Pani Puri ($6.99). Pair any of these with a chai and you’ve got the cafe’s signature combination.

Quick Bites: Irani-Style Buns

Blossom also keeps a short menu of Irani-cafe-style buns for anyone who wants something faster than a full chaat plate: Bun Maska ($3.99), Bun Jam ($4.29), Malai Maska Bun ($4.49), Nutella Bun ($4.49), and Cheese Chutney Bun ($4.99). None of these require a kitchen wait, which makes them a practical grab for a commuter catching the train, a parent picking up a kid after school, or anyone who wants a bite alongside a chai without committing to a full plate.

Bingsu, Tiramisu, and Dessert

The dessert case leans Korean and Italian at once. Blossom’s bingsu line — Choco Fudge Bingsu, Mango Magic Bingsu, Caramel Biscoff Bingsu, Strawberry Snowfall Bingsu, and Tiramisu Bliss Bingsu — is priced at $13 each and built for sharing. The tiramisu case runs Tiramisu, Mango Tiramisu, Chocolate Tiramisu, and Strawberry Tiramisu at $9–$9.50, with a $4 Brownie for something smaller.

Pizza, Sandwiches, and Panini

The savory side rounds out with Malai Paneer Pizza and Achari Paneer Pizza ($10), Farmers Market Pizza, Tandoori Paneer Pizza, and Cheese Pizza ($9), plus a sandwich and panini bar: Bombay Sandwich, Tandoori Paneer Sandwich (both $12), Peri Peri Chicken Burger ($12), Peri-Peri Veggie Burger and Tandoori Veg Burger ($10), and paninis including Chicken Pesto, Smoked Salmon, Chipotle Chicken, Brie Fig Prosciutto, and Ham & Brie (all $12). Two composed salads — Asian Chicken Salad and Greek Salad ($15.99 each) — plus a Muffuletta Salad ($12) listed alongside the panini line, and a Maggi noodle line (Masala Maggi $7, Vegetable Maggi $8, Tandoori Paneer Maggi $9.50) fill out the lunch/dinner side of the menu, alongside Salted Fries and Peri Peri Fries ($4.99 each).

Where Blossom Sits in Downtown Sunnyvale

Blossom Chai Cafe is located at 199 S Murphy Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94086, on Historic Murphy Avenue, a short walk from the Sunnyvale Caltrain station. Hours run Monday–Wednesday 11 AM–11 PM, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday 11 AM–midnight, and Saturday 9 AM–midnight — among the latest closing times on the block, which makes it a natural stop for a late dessert run as much as a morning coffee. The same block also hosts the Sunnyvale Farmers’ Market every Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM at the Murphy Avenue and Washington Avenue intersection, so a market run and a chai or bingsu stop pair naturally on weekend mornings. The cafe also offers catering for office meetings, school events, and parties, and its delivery service area extends beyond Sunnyvale into neighboring Peninsula and South Bay cities.

One Cafe, Many Reasons to Stop By

That range is exactly why Blossom’s calendar of occasions changes by the week without the menu itself needing to change. A Saturday-morning market run pairs naturally with a bingsu. A commuter grabs a Bun Maska and filter coffee before the train. A family stops in after school pickup for Maggi noodles and a mango lassi. And once in a while, a genuinely seasonal moment — National Watermelon Day, a study-session detour during back-to-school week — gives regulars a reason to try something they’d normally skip. The menu doesn’t change to chase those moments; it’s simply broad enough to already have an answer for most of them.
