Someone Crashed Their Car Into A GTA Chai Bar & The Store's Response Is Hilarious (VIDEO)

"We acknowledge that our chai is to die for but please be patient and park your cars outside."

Scarborough's Chachi's Chai Bar may be too popular for its own good because some customers are literally crashing through their front door.

A vehicle drove straight through a parking lot and into the cafe's front door on March 15 at around 3:40 p.m., Toronto police told Narcity.

Chachi's Chai Bar posted a video on their Instagram showing surveillance footage of the crash and its aftermath. Their cheeky caption asks customers to "please be patient and park your cars outside the cafe before attempting to order," even though they know their "chai is to die for."

In the video, a group of customers can be seen dining at a table by the front door as a car slowly approaches the shop. The car then drives through a parking spot and over the sidewalk before colliding with the door.

Thankfully, no one was injured from the crash, according to Toronto police, but the storefront didn't go unscathed.

Video footage shows the glass door shattered and what looks like structural damage to the outside of the shop.

Despite the damage, Chachi's Chai Bar took a playful approach to the incident, writing, "Despite recent events, we would like to clarify that we are not offering drive through services at this time."

Chachi’s Chai Bar told Narcity their biggest concern is the safety of their customers and the driver and that they are “are incredibly grateful that no one was hurt.”

“We are unsure of the extent of the cost of damages as of right now but have been reassured that everything is structurally sound and that we are safe to resume operations.”
