 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolute gem! Prices are unbelievable (in a good way!) for their pots of tea to drink in-house. If you are a beginner to drinking loose leaf tea especially, could NOT recommend enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful tea shop. There are so many great choices with hot and cold teas and also a few sweet treats and sometimes quiche. The service is fast, prices are fair, the ambiance is good, and you even get to pick out your own tea cup!

Also they have an almost pastry that is just like the Dutch letters I used to always get as a kid! So so good!!! Cute shop, not ever a bad time to go!! Great place to have a chat, or study, or if you’re working from home, this would be my “office” for a few hours.. lol that place just vibes relaxation!
