pronounced "chai chai," this cozy little teteria is one of my very favorite establishments in the city, rivalling only a granja or two. modeled after the teahouses of prague, it's tucked away, far from the maddening crowds of las ramblas and c/ ferran, and it serves a mean spicy chai, garnished with a hot candied orange slice. if they still have the one with canary sprinkles, get that, but i think it might have been taken off the menu. anyways, there's a bike rack outside, a bookshelf full of borrow-able books in english and spanish, and a great, warm atmosphere. they also serve mate, for all you argentinians out there. highly recommended for a rainy day, or any day for that matter. the people who work there are also awesome and possibly quadrilingual. but they'll tolerate your attempts at spanish, which is wonderful. just be aware that when you're looking for it, st. domenec de call doesn't connect with ferran. i got a little lost the first time i headed over.
