Best cup of chai in the city! Played some chess and sipped tea all afternoon, can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday.

Chai is good but $7 for a drink is overpriced imo. Inflation I guess. Dairy milk alternatives don't cost extra which is

Nice spot for sure, with a wide range of teas. Most cafe's are coffee focused, only offering a few tea bags, this place has tons of tea brewed loose leaf with care. There are very few seats though so keep that in mind, its a small place, i think there are 4 tables 2 of which are 2 tops. Had a really nice relaxing time here for sure.

They seemed slightly annoyed we came in, but otherwise fine. The house brewed chai is heavy on green cardamom and anise, so tasted very medicinal and yet watered down. It definitely didn't "change me" the way the intriguing sign outside said?My 4 year old got the fairytale candy cane and loved it!

What a gorgeous masala chai blend, I just fell in love. I tried it at home and it was great. I've ordered the homemade drinks and they are delicious too. I like that their packaging is more eco-friendly. If you like to make loose tea at home, you should check this out.

I got a herbal tea it was great. I felt amazing after. The vibe of this place was very calming as well. Great all around!

What a beautiful and quaint ship tea shop. Very much enjoyed the "simmer down" tea and courtyard area in the back.It's cozy and seating is limited but if you can snag a seat, I promise you won't regret it. Very serene and peaceful and the variety of tea was impressive!

A beautiful space to sit and enjoy a pot of delicious tea either alone or with friends.

In a neighborhood that reminded me of NYC's Greenwich Village is this unassuming shop. A few comfy seats are in the front, a small seating area in the rear and seats outside in the backyard.You can scan a QR code to see their menu or get one that's printed. It is quite an extensive menu of teas, which are brewed to order, hot or cold.If you bring your own container you get a discount. My companions knew this and came prepared.I ordered a hot chicory chai. The chai was nicely spiced although I didn't get the chicory.We were able to sit for a long time enjoying our teas. There were a couple playing chess, a person reading a book and others just conversing.Quite a nice little shop and you can also buy loose tea leaves to take home.No pictures as our travel mugs didn't allow for it.

We walked in right just as they opened with the smell of freshly steeped spices of chai floating in the air. It was a great place to go after our breakfast. We hung out on the back porch on a sunny winter day. The seating inside is cozy. Tea herbs in bulk or small amounts available. I would like to come back and enjoy a pot of tea next time.
Fun small local tea shop. v friendly staff and patrons!Ordered the chai. Huge menu.Hope to go back to try another type.

Nice and cozy is the best way to describe this super chill Tea Room. They carry a nice selection of tea. And all the staff were super nice to me and friend who made the call to Check out this place.They made me a custom 13oz Spice Ginger, lemon w/ lemon zest and aged honey. I have bad social anxiety and that tea was both delicious and refreshing.It help me enjoy my food and I just felt better over.They also have a nice outdoor seating area with small fire chest that keeps you a bit warmer.You’ll enjoy yourself. Try the house blends as well.

I go here whenever I'm homesick for chai - they have an excellent masala chai, tea sourced from Assam, all the nice spices and everything. You can get a small cup, a large cup, or a pot that usually has 5-6 small cups. The ambience is ideal for relaxing with a buddy and reading a book.

A friend and I came here for tea yesterday. The woman behind the counter was so kind and gave me amazing recommendations and let me try the sugar to see if I wanted to get a little jar of it.Tea was 10/10 for me - I got a jasmine tea which the employee said was very decadent. When I put one of those sugar cubes in it... sublime.My friend got the vegan chai. I took a taste of it and didn't love it but maybe a different milk (she had almond) would have made it a lot better. That said, I've had a chai at Starbucks with almond milk and it was delicious.I'd definitely come back again, it was a fun spot.

Thank you so much for making an authentic, exceptional, high quality chai latte. The perfect blend of spiciness and sweetness. No other chai like this in Philly.
