Super lovely staff!! The tea and spice selection is great too. I'm often disappointed with masala chai from cafes, but theirs is great!

I love the wide variety of tea selections and the shop feels cozy! I came to try out the matcha as it was mentioned highly in past reviews. It was a bit disappointing because I could barely taste the matcha flavor. We tried both of the iced matcha latte and matcha lemonade and it could really use more matcha to better match the cup size. I’m sure the teas are great but if you enjoy a stronger matcha flavor, it might not be suited for you.

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 ?
