As a recent Instagram post by Uptown New Westminster noted, “something is brewing in Uptown!”
For those who don’t know, Chaiiwala goes beyond tea: while known for its delicious chai, it’s also a great place to find breakfast, lunch, and snacks, both sweet and savoury.
While we don’t know exactly when Chaiiwala will be opening, we know they are hiring for a number of positions, including shift supervisors and kitchen staff. Those interested should reach out with their resume via email: [email protected]. You may also want to check out their Instagram: @chaiiwalaca.
