| - Had pretty high expectations for Algebra Tea House, considering the 4 stars on Yelp, but it just wasn't my cup of tea (sorry I had to..).
The place is cozy, artsy, and unique, but a bit lacking in seating area. The tea menu was quite extensive, and I ended up ordering a house chai tea latte while my friends ordered some loose leaf tea. I love my chai tea lattes, but this cup just didn't cut it for me. It was pretty much a very watered down chai tea latte. I took a sip of my friend's tea and it, too, tasted watered down. For a place that is known for their teas, they should do a better job making them.
The prices seemed okay at first, but upon second thought after tasting the teas, I realized they were overpriced (unless you count the extra cost of water). We also waited for quite some time for our teas. While I understand it takes time to steep tea for optimum temperature and flavor, the time it took for our teas to be ready did not result in quality tasting teas.
In short, unless you like drinking watered down teas, I would skip this place. If you're a chai tea latte fan like me, you're better off making your own chai tea latte using Trader Joe's spiced chai tea.
