Description: Since meeting in 2010 at the University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!), we've traveled across the country and around the world, experiencing unique flavors along the way. Our passion for food and travel led us to California and Asia many times and when we returned home, we couldn't find locations that satisfied the cravings for tastes we loved, especially when it came to certain drinks and desserts.

Instead of continuing to search for this experience, we decided to bring it right to Connecticut. ChaPapi is a tea and sweets shop that specializes in tea-drinks and Asian sweets, including our favorites: mochi donuts and taiyaki soft serve. We want to embrace more diverse flavors to a growing town brimming with possibilities and share how much more potential West Hartford can bring to a growing community.

Operating Since: July 2023
