Rites of Spring, a herbal blend of lavender, peppermint, and citrus peel really hit the spot! They use triple-filtered, reverse-osmosis water for all of their teas & coffees.

Great coffee shop addition to Lawrenceville located inside Lawrenceville Market House. Their…read moreoriginal store is in the Southside, but the coffee here is just as good. They also do breakfast sammies! I love that they offer a different variety of espresso drinks than the other coffee shops in the neighborhood, which is a nice switch up. They have a drink called "The Allegheny" which is a twist on the espresso frizzante using Italian sparkling coffee, citrus, and cream. But my favorite has to be the Cubano latte which reminds me of growing up in Florida. There's also non coffee options like a London Fog, chai, and matcha! This is a great option to grab a cup and sit outside the LV Market House patio. Plus, there is parking in the back. They are only open Friday through Sunday currently which is a bummer, so I'm hoping they add more hours as their business grows.

It was nice to see that they support other local businesses and were selling honey made from a local family. They even had honey comb. I can see why this place is rated so highly!

They had a few other items for sale like local honeycomb, tshirts, mugs, etc. They didn't have a line when I ordered around 2pm on a Saturday afternoon, though a group had settled in at the table and couch space behind me. I ordered the smallest size latte with one of the spring featured flavors- honeysuckle. The latte was around $4.25 after tax. The cup was about 8-10oz and the frothed milk art on top was pretty. I thought the latte was balanced and had a nice sweetness to it. It was perfect for a colder day in March.

My only complaint is the pricing ($8+), but the quality is really good so I'll definitely will be back to try more of their special!
