Super nice place and super nice people!

Wow loved this place so much. The vibe is so great - the attention and love in the decor and space is echoed in the drinks too. The cacao was delicious. Highly recommend.

We went for the first time to experience a sound bath which was amazing! We go there early to check the place out. It was so great! Caleb was so friendly, the kombucha was first rate and I’m picky and the golden milk was the best my friend ever had and has been drinking it for years. Well worth a try. Can’t wait to go back for tea ceremony and more.

Amazing drinks. I had coffee and it was probably the best coffee I have ever had. Good ol hippie Gainesville atmosphere. If you looking for a wonderful place to get a coffee and other drinks this is a great place to try.

Visiting Gainesville this is my go-to spot for the tastiest and most creative iced matcha experiences. Beautiful garden to sit in. Brooke and Caleb have put their heart into this place, and it is clearly felt

Always a calm and welcoming atmosphere. If you are into tea, herbal drinks, or a simple cold brew, this is the place for you. They have kombucha on tap, too!Their menu is expansive but not lacking quality. They have opened my eyes and soul to a plethora of new teas through their menu. Additionally, Caleb is very knowledgeable about tea and the nuances of each one they have. My favorite is currently between three- Genmaicha(green tea with a nutty/popcorn flavor twist due to roasted rice kernals), Cha Goa (a resin tea with sticky rice notes), and Grandma Ai's(a black tea with notes of cherrios and apricot).Howl offers great indoor and outdoor space for studying, meetings, remote work, crafting, reading, and chatting with friends.With monthly workshops, community events, and an overall loving and supportive environment, this is one of my favorite places to go.Bluejay/Brooke holds some of the most beautiful, emotional, and spiritual events that help center yourself and connect to the earth.Howl offers body work appointments, though I have not attended any yet. I have heard high praise from others, though!They have some of the most up to date accommodations for individuals with disabilities to access the space in town, as well! Something that I really love and hope to see other buildings implement.100/10 would recommend.

Drink menu is inspired! tea and espresso lattes plus so much more. Unique options curated with love. Healing and so fun to be in the space. Thank you!

Wish they would not appropriate indigenous medicine such as sage, and palo santo. The over harvesting and normalization of profiting off of indigenous sacred smudging bundles in white spaces, (it is a white person run business)sends a message. Please self educate so that BIPOC folks dont have to all the time.. Please do better, there are so many other herbs you can use to create smoke bundles. Grow your own!?

It's a cute little tea place that caters to people interested in spiritual practices. They offer services, community gatherings, sell crystals and cards in shop. My daughter LOVES their unicorn tea.
