So much fun! Been here multiple times. Had so much fun the first time I had to bring back my adult daughters to check it out. Can’t wait for the next trip.
Super fun, great atmosphere, just wish the drinks weren't so teeth numbingly sweet

This is a fun place! I absolutely love it and would go more often if they had more vegan options & more healthy drinks. It's small though and it's hard to park. They really need a better bigger location but it's worth it to go check it out. I would love to give more stars if they only had at least half of the menu be vegan.
Parking: The parking lot is small for as many businesses are in this area.

Must experience if you are fan of Harry Potter, Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons etc., wizard themed place. Very good experience. Drinks are above average. Ice cream is good.

This place was phenomenal! Enchanting atmosphere, excellent service and amazing options! I wish I could come here everyday. This is a Haven for the creative. If you're a cosplayer, lover of fantasy, D&D, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Dr Who, Star Wars and more, this is your new obsession. They have amazing drinks and ice cream for now with plans for expanding the menu to more food options and alcoholic beverages. This place has a hidden door where people can indulge in gaming and more. Every square inch of this place is a feast for the eyes! A great place to bring kids until 9pm. It's a little hard to find, which makes it even more unique, like only those who are non muggles can find the door with the sign for 9&3/4's and once you do you'll be rewarded with an adventure of an evening!
Parking: Plenty of parking right out front.
Kid-friendliness: Even adults will feel like kids again. It is like walking into Wonderland!

Hands-down the most enchanting place we’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. It’s more than just a spot to grab tea or ice cream—it’s a gateway to a magical world where wizards, elves, and spells reign supreme.
Every visit to ELIXIR has been an unforgettable adventure. From the spellbinding decor (complete with floating candles and hidden doors) to the immersive fantasy-themed experience, it’s clear that Cire, the mastermind behind ELIXIR, has created something extraordinary. The atmosphere is truly one of a kind—every corner and shelf is filled with magical artifacts and books, making you feel like you’ve stepped straight into a timeless sylvan-stone tavern at the edge of Middle-earth.
The service at ELIXIR is, quite frankly, legendary. Shoutout to Relicus Arthriticus Capernicus (the friendliest bouncer in any realm), Tree and June—whose whimsical outfits and witty banter perfectly match the fantasy theme—as well as Arieti and Phoenix, two delightful servers we met recently, who added a fresh touch to our latest adventures.
The food and drinks at ELIXIR are equally enchanting. The Draven is my go-to with its perfect balance of coffee and sweet, frothy goodness, while my girls can’t get enough of the “I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-Butter Beer.” Along with the decadent ice cream creations, each potion—err, item—on the menu is a treat for the senses.
What really sets ELIXIR apart, though, is the family-like feel. Cire, Relicus, and the whole crew have made us feel like members of the Secret Wizard Society from day one, and it’s this warm, inviting energy that keeps us coming back.
Honestly, whether you’re looking for a whimsical place to bring your kids (they’ll LOVE it) or simply need a magical escape from the Muggle world, ELIXIR Wizard Academy & Tea Bar is the place to be. Cire and the entire ELIXIR family ensure that every visit is filled with magic, joy, and deliciously enchanting flavors.
We can’t recommend it enough!

Cleanliness bad, a lot of children with sugary drinks so that makes sense. Overhyped. Staff was way too pushy on selling memberships and where we can and cannot sit. Drinks was disgustingly sweet, pure sugar and couldn't even finish it.

Kids were happy but the boba tea was without boba, nobody even didn't tell anything about it. Service was pretty sad, maybe they were tired. Kids liked the atmosphere but I wouldn't go again.

Wowwww this place was amazing.Ok admittedly, if I was an introvert I probably would be really uncomfortable. They have this wizard test that costs about $5 but it's a lot of interaction with the staff where they make you do this smoke bubble test with a wand. Luckily I'm not an introvert! Haha, I still didn't want to do the test though. It was absolutely adorable to see other patrons do the test. We did, however, see a ton of people go into the secret area behind the book case for VIP members. I want to know how to become a VIP member but I don't want to actually become a VIP member, it looks like you can find out if you ask them, but I'm not gonna ask them because I'm shy... I swear I'm not an introvert! The decorations were galore and awesome! Any fantasy intellectual property you can think of can be found here.
Ok...one negative: 2 drinks and 1 mango sorbet were over $40. That's preeeeetty expensive when you're talking just sugar drinks and ice cream. But ehhhh, it was fun.

I would take your large group elsewhere! I arrived a couple week's ago in a group of 10 people for a birthday party on a Saturday night we arrived a little past 9pm assuming they would be open until 11:30 as stated online. We were all going to buy the $100 backroom pass and buy drinks, we were abruptly forced out of the establishment on arrival by the host, long blonde hair girl. Very rude and told us they had just dumped out all the Boba because they were having a slow night. We explained to her we were about to spend over $1000 for my friends birthday party and she just said sorry we are already closed. As we were leaving 2 more people were also turned away. I normally don't leave reviews but this is actually the 3rd time this place has turned me and my friends away. About a month or 2 ago on 2 other occasions we showed up 2 hours before closing and the same girl turned my niece and I away and my friend and I another night. I love everything else about this place but I will not return and I don't recommend going until they have fixed this problem. I don't understand how they can stay open when they are losing $100's a night closing early all the time.

It was a great place. Service was out of sink, and it's small, but worth it.

If you dont want your kid to leave upset and sad dont come to this place. They asked us if we want to take a wizard test for $5 so we agreed. Our son took the test (reciting words) and than he had to catch bubble in the air with a wand. Of course he missed and they told him he failed the test and he can not become a wizard. We told them we will pay again for the test and they said no. Needless to say we left with tears and and disappointment. Cant believe they would do this to a kid.
