| - Neat new gourmet tea cafe. A bit hidden and easily missed, but they've got some fantastic brews. This is likely going to be my new go-to place for when I need to just get work done.
Went in because I needed a place to sit down and Starbucks next door was closed. This place is relaxing, comfortable, brightly lit, open late, and they give you a bowl of FREE POPCORN! Plus the servers check on you but don't really bother you, total bonus.
The teas were amazing! The waitress gave me a free sample of their cold special tea. I don't know what was in it, but it was like drinking a field of flowers and berries at the same time.
For my order, I opted for the hot ginger tea which at first glance on the menu gave me some sticker shock ($4.50 for tea is looks a bit steep ;)) but when it came out, it was a massive mug probably 1.5 times the size of a cappuccino mug (or as I like to say "bowl cup"). The tea was zippy and flavorful, way better than a bag of tea from the nearby big-box cafes.
They also have cake by the slice, but I didn't have any. They looked really good though and a few people came in and out just for dessert.
All in all, for spending less than $5 on arguably one of the top 5 cups of tea I've had, free popcorn, free wifi, and 2.5 hours of productivity, I'm really hoping this new spot stays for a while.
