| - I'm not downtown as often anymore, but when I do, I will definitely stop by here as often as I can.
Pros:
No powder and refined sugar used at all
Macha drinks are hand made
Very nice owner
Cons:
No sitting area
There aren't too many places in the city that serve Japanese green tea. When my GF heard about this place it was a given that we would come here. The place is a very tiny place. You have the counter where you order, a small padded bench on the side and a little open space in the middle. Very minimalist which works for this place.
They have a good selection of drinks to choose from. You have milk teas, macha, sencha and some fruity selections as well. One thing to note is, unlike a lot of bubble tea places, this place uses no powder of any sort and no refined sugar as well. Also, I don;t know about all drinks, but the macha drinks we ordered were all hand made. You can really taste the difference.
The owner of the place is super duper nice. She was very helpful and had a ton of knowledge behind her products. When it comes to tea, my GF loves to ask questions and she answered them all in depth. She always has a pleasant smile and makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in.
The only thing I can remotely gripe about is there are no seats available here. There is a small padded bench to the side and that's it. This place is strictly take out more or less. Being downtown, you're usually on the go so it shouldn't bother most people at all.
I have a new fav place to get my tea fix downtown. I'm not down often, but when I am I'll be sure to try and stop by again.
