| - I was expecting to like Algebra Tea House - it was recommended by my fiance's cousin (who is awesome), and I LOVE tea. When we arrived on a freezing day after Thanksgiving, we were enamored by the cozy, eccentric, and fun interior. Shelves are filled with bags of loose leaf tea to buy, handmade mugs, tea accessories, and some grocery products, including an Israeli spice mix. Various tables and chairs are scattered around, mostly in the back where a cast iron stove had a nice fire going.
We ordered tea and settled at a table to chat with a friend who had arrived a few minutes before us. He already had tea and a sandwich (which he said wasn't that great). Our tea arrived and despite letting mine steep for awhile, I took a sip and couldn't taste anything! I was really disappointed because the description had intrigued me. Oh, and I was cold, so the warm water was not as helpful as it could've been.
I will say that I quite enjoyed the bathroom - funky door, and hand lotion for customers too! Very necessary during the cold, dry days of winter. And at least the girl working there was super nice and friendly, and chatted with us when we found out that she was originally from the Philadelphia area. Would I come back? NOPE.
