I believe the owner (?) was trying to encourage me to get a Philly cheesesteak pastry and I may have, except I had more of a sweet tooth today. Whatever breakfast cravings you have, I'm pretty sure this place has you covered.

It's incredibly inviting, with a fun theme and a beautiful mix of mid-century leather furniture and warm wood accents that make you want to hang out for a while. The young lady who helped me was an absolute 10 out of 10. My wife enjoys a very specific type of iced coffee, and I always get tongue-tied trying to explain it because not every coffee shop can recreate what she's looking for. She listened, understood exactly what I meant, and absolutely nailed it. She was genuinely friendly, patient, and a pleasure to deal with. She also talked me into ordering some sort of creamy orange, dirty coconut concoction that I'm fairly certain I could never successfully order again...but whatever it was, it was phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. As a general rule, I don't tip at places where you order at the counter. I've always felt tipping is reserved for servers who are taking care of you at a table. But exceptional service deserves to be recognized, and the friendliness, knowledge, and genuine hospitality I received earned them a well-deserved 20% tip. If you're looking for great coffee, a unique atmosphere, and people who truly enjoy what they do, The Kraken is well worth the stop. To those about to nosh, I salute you!

My goal was to find a place to take my mom for tea. After some research on IG/FB and Eventbrite I…read morestumbled upon Main Street Tea House in Elizabeth City NC. They had a Mother's Day event advertised for $35 per person. This would be their final event for the season as they will be closed till fall to operate as an Air BnB. I called on the phone to make reservations, and it was quick and easy. The woman who helped me over the phone was super polite and upbeat. She ended our conversation with have a "tea of a day". I thought that was the sweetest. My mom and I arrived after a 1hr drive from the Virginia Beach area, dressed for tea complete with our fascinators (fabulous fancy tea hat). This house is an amazing site from the outside and even better on the inside. It had brick stairs leading to the entry and a wide front porch. We entered the Tea House and gasped and how beautifully decorated the inside was. To the left of us was what appeared to be the living room area of the house with a fireplace. To the right of us was another room dining room sized. Both rooms were brightly decorated with 5 tables in one room and 5-6 in the other room. Each table complete with tea settings, plates and gold plated silverware. My mom and I gasped and said at the same time how pretty everything was. After composing ourselves we went to the hostess who checked us in and took a photo of us in the foyer. We were seated at our table, there we met Alyssa our "tea-tress". This lady was the sweetest person ever. She was so pretty in her tea party appropriate clothes, complete with a tiara, like the rest of the staff. Alyssa explained everything to us, and talked to us like she knew us forever. "Our choice" of tea was included from a menu, and a classic three-tiered tray (curate) which had from the bottom up, cucumber, egg salad, and pimento cheese sandwiches on the bottom, scones in the middle, and petit fours, macarons, madeleines, and chocolate truffles from "The Bomb, Hot Cocoa Bombs & Treats" on the top tier. After giving us a quick education on the tea selection Alyssa recommended for us to start with the warm scones in the middle, that came with lemon curd & blueberry toppings which were absolutely amazing and flavorful. From there my mom and I ventured to the bottom tier for the sandwiches. I particularly enjoyed the fact that although these were cold sandwiches they weren't ice cold, as I have sensitive teeth. The cucumber sandwich was my favorite, the pimento cheese was my second favorite. The smokiness of the cheese was a delicious undertone. I settled on the lady lavender tea with curdled cream as advised by Alyssa. My mother chose the cinnamon spice decaffeinated tea with cream. They both arrived in a healthy sized personal tea pot. My mother mentioned that her tea needed no additional sweetener and that it was perfect. I decided for 2 cubes of sugar which was available at the table. We thoroughly enjoyed the tea, scones, sandwiches, and desserts. One of the best additions was a mimosa option served in a tea cup with a strawberry seated on the rim of the cup. A pleasant surprise was being satisfied from the variety of items available on the curate. We needed no extra food at all. We were even given some butter mints as a gift for having this experience at The Maine Street Tea House. We wrapped up our Mother's Day tea, and explored a tiny bit and got to learn about the house itself. I loved the photo in the foyer of the fireplace room, before the tea house was decorated and officially in business. We also enjoyed the hat wall leading to the restroom in the hallway where customers could try on hats and wear them as they enjoyed their tea time. I can't wait to come back in the fall with my daughter. Thank you Maine Street Teahouse & Alyssa for making my Mother's Day memorable with my mother.

The entire teahouse from top to bottom was beautiful and very clean. Alyssa made sure we had enough blankets to keep us warm. Snacks and drinks we each liked and variety of teas for us to enjoy upstairs. The tea party breakfast was amazing, fresh, and incorporated all our likes. Being able to pick out our tea sets we dine with and a hat to wear just was the cherry on the top. We all travel from different areas and have made this our annual mother and daughter stop. The 3 to 4 hour drive is well worth it. We look forward to our next stay in 2026!​​

There were several flavors to choose from all sold in packs of three with a few variety packs. I decided on lavender (I think it was actually lavender lemon) and pistachio cranberry. The lavender had a lovely subtle flavor of lavender and did not taste too floral or soapy but it did taste & feel a little stale. The pistachio cranberry had a nice little tang from the cranberry but was still on the sweet side. There were several other options in the cases that looked delicious so I'd definitely go back for another try! Enjoy
