| - This place is ridiculously cute, colorful, and cozy, with a huge selection of loose leaf teas. They offer teas by the pot only, except for iced teas (during warm months) which come by the cup. They range from $3 to $4 per pot depending on how fancy the tea is.
The staff here has been friendly every time I've been. They are always keen on offering suggestions if you ask! Last time, I was struggling between going for a fruity tea vs. a chocolatey tea, and the girl working suggested this chocolate peppermint tea blend that was not on the menu but that she had made for herself the other day. I tried it, and it was AMAZING!
My experiences with the food here (from at least a year ago) have been great as well. They have their own pastries as well as a selection from a nearby bakery. Savory offerings include grilled cheeses, soups, and sometimes specials.
One small gripe I have is that their teapots tend to, for whatever reason or another, leak some tea leaves and residue when you pour into your cup. I suspect it's because the filter is not super fine and so small bits from the tea mixture can fall through. It's never been a major problem, though.
You can always find fun, seasonal specialty drinks here too (e.g. hot apple cider in the fall), in addition to coffee, if tea isn't your thing. Newspapers and reading materials are usually available to pick up, and there are board games in the back. This is a great place for a rainy (or cold) day!
