| - Dobra Tea is a unique experience, and everyone should come at least once. From the outside, it looks like any other tea shop, but once you walk in, you will be able to see why it deserves a special mention. There are little rooms spaces, designed like a Japanese tatami room except with carpet instead. There are also table spaces in the case you don't feel like sitting criss-crossed... whichever you feel more comfortable. You are given a tea menu and a bell. You ring the little bell when you're ready to order. The server's really patient and respects your space. The teas are loose leaf teas, and are generally of okay quality--I tried the rolled and roasted oolong teas--but the environment definitely makes up for it. The environment is generally dim (some rooms are brighter than others), so if you come to do work, I'd suggest keeping your work to your laptop. Otherwise, the ambiance makes it also a good place to go to in a casual afternoon date with a friend or significant other.
P.S. If you come during the weekdays, and you can come around lunch time, there is a lunchtime special from 12pm to 2pm of getting a hummus and pita platter with a pot of tea for $12!!! I just missed it... And I decided to get the hummus platter anyway. It's significantly a lot more expensive doing it that way, but worth the experience, right?
