Everyone very nice. A Wiccan vibe but still an herb and liquor bar. An earthy environment but not potions store despite the look. I did not drinkbut I purchased a few fair priced teas.

I saw 5 for food basing it off the amazing drinks. They do have pre packaged snacks which the adult snack pack was so good w dark chocolate almonds and fresh cut cheese. But the drinks were the show. The bartenders are so talented. I'm not a bourbon drinker but the male bartender made this smoked marshmallow drink that changed my mind. It's a small space but totally worth it!!!!

What an amazing space! The drinks are amazing, the atmosphere can’t be beat, and the staff are personable and knowledgeable. For a small place, the bourbon selection specifically is incredibly impressive. The bartender surprise is great in that they do check in for basic preferences and dietary needs. Definitely worth a stop!!

Such a cute little hole in the wall. First time visiting and the drinks were delicious and staff was so nice and accommodating. I was anxious about the space being small but it was intimate and worth it. Will go again :)

Love this place. An unassuming speakeasy next to a fried chicken place . The drinks were awesome, and the place had a good vibe!

UPDATE: So happy to hear that owners are opening a larger store. Also now that I know outside food van be brought in, my husband and I (including out of town relatives and friends) will be multiple repeated visitors to this unique place. I appreciate and thank the owners for responding to my review. The knowledge they provided negated the minor issues. I only wish other owners would respond in such an attentive and personal way.It's a magical place to relax and feel like you are on vacation abroad - Paris, London, Toronto or domestically - NYC, San Francisco. I'm not exaggerating. One of the most innovative places in New Haven county. We have been 2x - once for tea and once for mocktails after a musical event where cocktails flowed and the over-served concert patrons prevented it from being comfortable or relaxing. So it was such a surprise and delight to discover this inventive venture in Wallingford and explore the variety of delicious elixirs after such an event.I only wish the evening hours were longer and menu was more extensive. But the owner advertised the tea aspect... But the menu for evening hours could be improved. While the non-alcoholic drinks were appreciated, the limited menu is a determining factor in choosing another place.Plant - based appetizers in the evening would be a good idea. A similar place in Manhattan offers meatless Buffalo wings, sliders and vegetarian sandwiches and appetizers.However I highly recommend at least one visit - correction - multiple visits since the owners accommodate outside appetizers. There are so many different and unique drinks to enjoy.The menu for tea time is perfect to accompany the distinctive teas offered.

Great hidden little place like a speakeasy

this is literally my favorite spot to go. i sometimes go after work and it’s my favorite way to wind down after a long shift of standing on my feet all day. the atmosphere is amazing and the staff are absolutely incredible. Jeremy and Sarah are so welcoming and kind. they really make you feel comfortable. the drinks are so immaculate that i actually find myself disappointed getting drinks anywhere else. their drinks aren’t just drinks, they are art. they really put their all into it and im so impressed. i am constantly telling my clients, friends, and family to check them out. the decor is absolutely gorgeous and you can tell they put a lot of thought into it. i HIGHLY recommend checking this place out!
