| - Their official name is Nohohon Tea Room and...it's literally the size of a room.
The interior is nicely decorated and gives you the whole japanese tea house feel. They also share a washroom with the ajisai AYCE next door, so you're getting the luxury service there.
There's a tatami mat up front where you can sit if that is your preference. Otherwise, there are wooden chairs available if you would rather not feel like an emperor.
It's a japanese themed tea house so you have options like matcha milk tea, houjicha milk tea, yuzu lemonade, taro smoothies, or momo oolong. They also provide hot pots of teas if you're feeling less sugary.
Bubble Teas come in small, medium, or large cups, with soy or almond milk, as well as one free topping (tapioca, lychee jelly, grass jelly, or red bean). You can also customize the sugar or ice levels, but you'll have to take some initiative there. I didn't think about it and ended up with ice in my drink. The price is about the same as other tea places, if you include that one free topping.
Vicinity is accepted if you use that rewards program (you might as well, since most tea places offer it).
There is usually only one or two people working behind the counter so if there are others in line already prepare to wait a few minutes.
I ordered the green haze with almond milk and tapioca, which is a matcha latte with hints of hazelnut flavour. The drink was enjoyable, though I found there is not as much matcha flavour but maybe the milk and sugar diluted it. The tapioca was great though: large and chewy, unlike a lot of other BBT places.
It's a nice place to sit down after a meal nearby. Well, if you can find a place to sit.
