DIRTY RABBIT · S'AGARÓ
The best chai latte near Girona
"Best chai in Girona" is a search with context. There are options in the city — some better than others. Outside the city, on the Costa Brava, the selection narrows.
Dirty Rabbit is in S'Agaró, 35 minutes from Girona. We're straightforward about the distance. If you're already on the coast or the drive doesn't matter, this is the place. If you're in central Girona looking for something within walking distance, there are city options worth checking too.
What makes a good chai latte
- Real masala chai isn't a generic powder blend — it's cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and black pepper in a specific proportion. Awachai, the supplier we use, makes the blend in Isère, France, with 100% organic ingredients. The result is more complex and less sweet than any syrup version.
- Cold doesn't ruin chai. Iced chai is one of the most underrated formats in Spain — few cafés have it outside summer. We carry it year-round because Awachai's spice blend holds up perfectly cold, and some people prefer it that way.
- Dirty chai isn't a gimmick. It's the most-ordered version among people discovering chai for the first time — La Cabra espresso adds energy and the masala adds flavour. Together they work better than they look on paper.
Where to find good chai latte near Girona
In Girona city, some specialty cafés pay attention to their ingredients. For masala chai specifically, the selection is thinner — most still use syrup.
Dirty Rabbit is at Avinguda Platja d'Aro 275, S'Agaró — 35 minutes from Girona. If you already have a reason to be on the Costa Brava, the detour is small: we're on the road between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Platja d'Aro.
Three chai versions year-round: classic hot or iced, iced chai, dirty chai with espresso. Plant milk available. €3.50 to €5.
Why chai latte is everywhere but good chai is rare
Girona has a café scene with more care than average for a city its size. But real masala chai remains a minority. The pattern is predictable: places working with quality spices are the same ones working with specialty coffee and slow-fermentation bread. It's a standard that crosses the whole menu, not an isolated choice.
The Costa Brava, being more seasonal and tourist-driven, has a lower density of this type of place. The ones that do exist tend to stand out for it.
Frequently asked questions about the best chai latte near Girona
What's the nearest chai latte with real spices to Girona?
There are options in the city, though most use syrup. The nearest one we know with real organic masala chai is Dirty Rabbit in S'Agaró, 35 minutes away.
What's special about Awachai's masala chai?
Awachai is a producer in Isère, France, making an organic spice blend — cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, clove, black pepper. No fillers, no added sugar in the base blend. The flavour is cleaner and more complex than a standard syrup.
Do you serve chai cold in winter?
Yes. Iced chai is available year-round at Dirty Rabbit. It's not a seasonal offer.
Is dirty chai suitable for someone who doesn't normally drink coffee?
It has espresso, so it has caffeine. For anyone sensitive to coffee, plain chai (without the espresso shot) is the better option — less caffeine, and it releases more gradually.

S'Agaró has a nearby beach, the Conca seafront path, and quick access to both Platja d'Aro and Sant Feliu. If you're in the area, there are reasons to stay longer than an hour.
