| - The Algebra tea house is a wonderful spot to get a coffee or tea, have a snack, and spend a bunch of time working on your laptop or reading a book. The tea is great, the food is good, the prices are reasonable. The service is slow but friendly, and speed doesn't matter so much if you're planning on hunkering down for a while.
The ambiance is very quiet, homey, and earthy. The tables are all set up to be comfortable for a long stay while you work or have a quiet conversation. There's a little wood fireplace in the back, and plenty of couches and comfy chairs.
Most of the food I've tried are the middle eastern themed sandwiches (like falafal or shawarma or kabab). They're all tasty, though fairly simple. When I've been to Algebra, there has only one person working behind the counter, and that has made service pretty slow. When you're settled in for a while to get some work done, however, slow service isn't a big problem. Particularly when it's friendly!
Overall, a wonderful, quiet, homey atmosphere with decent food and tons of different teas. Check it out!
