Cheery kind atmosphere at the bar, a few tables too. Drink yours at the window and people watch. Great knowledgeable servers; lovely owner often walks through and chats. Large iced or hot tea and tisane (usu. not caffeinated) selection. They'll make your tea double strength on request. Stay as long as you like--read, chess, talk. Wish they had a few things to nibble with your tea.

The first time for everything, the drink I had was very delicious and natural. I highly recommend ?. I do not know what I ordered I had the server surprise me. The service was great she had a wonderful smile, and great conversation she explained how the drink was made and what ingredients she used to make the perfect natural goldleaf tea. Thank you ?. 10 out 10

the absolute best most thoughtful & inventive tea menu i’ve ever seen ! the staff is so passionate & knowledgeable about their teas - they even offered to blend a custom drink for me since i was between two different flavors. such a sweet place, wish they were open in the evenings at least on the weekends, would be such a cozy place to read a book or study!

Love this place. Great vibe. Nice and quiet but not like a library or anything. Space to work in the back and gorgeous front window bar seating.Tons of loose leaf teas available and big menu explaining all the sourcing of teas and about them — and an actual menu of blended drinks you can pick from. And open to any customizations.I wish they were open longer hours, this would be phenomenal weekend nights.

"Enter as Strangers - Leave as Friends"I work right above Gold Leaf so I know it well. The staff is nice and the teas are fantastic. There is ample seating along the beautiful stone bar. It's definitely a place to check out for tea. My favorite is iced red rooibos.

I decided to try some new tea and went to Gold Leaf with a friend. It was awesome, both service and atmosphere. I highly recommend the matcha!

This place is just awesome. Large selection of teas, with a nice descriptive menu to help you find tons of gems. The tea-risitas ? are great, friendly, and help suggest nice drinks based on a few simple questions. The shop wall is filled with storage containers giving it legit bar vibes.A few tables nearby to work if you’re not a bar person, but the stools and main area are nice enough to make time fly while sipping. If you need a switch up from coffee, give this place a try.
The teas here are always good. This is Princess Peach, flavor is not strong more of a light fruity taste but really good with 7 pumps of honey if you want it sweet but not overly sweet ?

I've been coming to Gold Leaf Spice & Teas for years and I feel that they have more than earned a review. I come here at least 1 or 2 times a week not only due to the fact that they make the best tea out of any place I've ever been to but because I have not once had a bad experience with the staff out of the at least 100 times I've stopped by. It's the consistency in tea taste and friendliness of the staff that keeps me coming back. I have and will continue to recommend this place to anyone who has the desire to find a great tea spot, just be warned: you won't want to go anywhere else after trying a few teas here.
An actual tea bar! With actual good stuff!Great selection, lovely seating and vibe, very tasty tea. Relaxing to sit and sip. Love this place, will go back.

Helpful staff to talk you through all the teas and flavors. Sold by the glass or ounce.
If you're a tea lover and are looking for a place that really understands tea--and has an enormous collection of teas--you must check out Gold Leaf. Also the servers really know their stuff about all the teas available.
