After her kids left home, this Atlanta mom built a thriving chai café
When Monica Sunny's three sons left home for college, she found herself facing an empty nest. Instead of slowing down, she turned a family tradition into a thriving Atlanta business. What started as brewing authentic South Asian chai in her kitchen for friends and neighbors has grown into The Chai Box, a café known for handcrafted teas, Indian-inspired pastries and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.
