Went with a friend on a whim and wow! Talk about a tea wonderland. When we got our drinks, they come in this huge beer mugs if you get them iced, and they were heavenly. The environment is so chill, lots of people smoking and drawing and talking. Will absolutely be coming back here!

The entrance to the cafe is in alley 39! Not on Yale or 1st :)
The service was good,
the cashier was so nice, but she doesn't speak English very fluently, and it was somewhat difficult to communicate, especially with the noise of the cafe as a whole,
and the atmosphere was decently good too, a lot of people were studying and chatting.
Our drinks however were another story,
I got a taro smoothie which was definitely good but it wasn't great, the taro flavor was present but a bit weak, and also it was overly sweet and it felt like a mask to the lack of taro flavor,
My little brother however got a honey mango iced boba, it was horribly sweet, it tasted like a lemonade syrup and it screwed up the face of anyone who tried it (four of us did and each of us had the same reaction, it was SO badly sweet and sour.) it would've been better if there was 2/3x as much water.
The boba in the honey mango iced boba was overcooked and mushy, and the boba in the taro smoothie was undercooked and crumbly.
We will be coming back to try their hot teas since they looked really good though, and the atmosphere was very nice.

Giant mugs of tea with a large variety of loose leaf options. And, the staff is kind and helpful.

Extremely unwelcoming environment.. I was disrespected by the cashier despite the fact I was a paying customer for YEARS… I will never again be returning here… Hopefully there is a change of ownership in the near future.

Shan Murphy
Good tea, but whyyy do you let people smoke cigarettes by the OPEN door? It absolutely reeked and I felt dizzy trying to work. Gross!

This café is fantastic! I’m not sure why there are negative reviews about the owner, he was incredibly kind and took the time to explain the different teas to us. The space is large and welcoming, with a spacious outdoor patio as well. I ordered a hot chai tea, while my husband opted for a cold tea. They offer a wide variety of teas tailored to different needs, like headaches, sinus relief, and other ailments. I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be coming back for more great tea!
Cashier was very rude and threatened to kick us out! There were 6 people in my group and threatened to kick us out because we only bought 5 drinks instead of six, considering their “1 drink per person policy”. Seems a little harsh for a little tea shop, has the attitude of a bouncer at a Hollywood club…Cashier needs to learn to be a little more hospitable…

Maggie was the friendly barista tonight so I had a good experience ordering my drink thankfully. The Peach Blossom tea is pretty but doesn't taste that great. The venue is big with plenty of seating, especially outside, and is the biggest draw. However the cigarette smell outside is a drawback. I came here for my book club otherwise I would not come.
Parking: You'll have to drive around to find a parking spot.

Worker on August 28th at 10:00 PM was hostile to a girl for apparently no reason. I was sitting inside and saw the worker talking to costumers outside and the girl grabbed a cup to pour her tea to go and the owner came in hostile and started yelling at her to not reach behind the counter when the cups were IN FRONT of the counter. She was extremely polite the whole time and kept apologizing and the man kept yelling at her for reaching behind the counter. I will not be coming back to an establishment where the workers act like that towards costumers, it was extremely uncomfortable and disrespectful to observe.
Super cool place. Very chill. Awesome Tea
