Buns in Sunnyvale
The bun line is Blossom's nod to the Irani cafes of Mumbai and Hyderabad, where a soft, slightly sweet bun and a cup of chai is the whole order. Five buns are listed on the ordering page: Bun Maska (butter), Bun Jam, Nutella Bun, Cheese Chutney Bun and Malai Maska Bun (cream and butter). They are the fastest food order at the counter, the cheapest way to turn a chai into a snack, and — per the cafe's own back-to-school blog post — the pickup for anyone in a hurry. The Samosa Bun, a samosa pressed into a bun, sits on the street-food page but belongs to the same idea.

Why Blossom Chai Cafe Buns
Bun maska and chai is the pairing the menu is designed around, and the chai is brewed fresh for every cup. Irani Chai, on the chai list, is the historically correct cup to order with it; Masala Chai is the one most people do.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is bun maska?+
A soft, slightly sweet bun split and spread with butter (maska), eaten with hot chai — the signature order of Irani cafes.
Which bun is savory?+
Cheese Chutney Bun — cheese with green chutney. The other four (Maska, Jam, Nutella, Malai Maska) are sweet or buttery.
Do the buns contain nuts?+
Nutella contains hazelnuts, so the Nutella Bun does. Ask at the counter about the others if nut allergies are a concern.
Can I get buns delivered?+
Order online for pickup, or delivery within 8 miles of 199 S Murphy Ave through the cafe's online ordering (Innowi-managed) — confirm your address at checkout.
