    Found this truly vegan place in Mankato which is very rare. Amazing, quint atmosphere with carefully selected and unique teas. Wonderful Vegan food! You barely know the difference. Will definitely be coming back for more!

    What tea shop doesn't need a piano and classic sheet music? Now if only I could play...

    I had been told of this place long before I set foot in the shop. And, to be honest, it was everything I'd hoped it would be. Situated in a charming side avenue off one of the main streets in Mankato, the interior feels surprisingly roomy for how small it is, helped in large part by smart furniture placement and high ceilings. The owner is smart and pleasant, ready to help you find a good tea to drink in store or take home with you. What I particularly like about the shop, besides the fun name, is that it - much like my favorite pubs - there are options to expose you to a variety of drinks fairly cheaply. There are tea happy hours, where you can get unending pots of tea for a low price or, more attractive to me, you can have options to try smaller samples of many different kinds. Another great thing is that the tea is sold in multiple sizes, so you can get what fits your needs best. 1oz, 2oz and 4oz bags were the most common, but you can also bring in your own canister and buy by bulk weight. And there are different kinds! One of the things I really like about the selection in this place is a) how they categorize their inventory so as to not overwhelm you and b) the mixture of familiar (Earl Grey! English Breakfast!) and more unique/creative blends that are super fun to explore. A lovely place to visit with a few friends. So what did I end up getting? Here is what my restraint netted me: Almond Oolong Matcha Pu-erh Chorange (chocolate orange, obv) Blood Orange Pu-erh Hazelberry Roasted Chestnut Lady Londonderry (wasn't this a Beatles song?) White Chocolate Puer

    Curried jackfruit sandwich, hot apple chai tea.

    Rain delay for softball found us this quaint tea cafe. VEGAN readily available. Great selection of teas available hot or cold. I had a fabulous curried jackfruit on marble rye. The staff were very knowledgable about the teas. Would definately return if in the area again.

    This is by far the best place in Mankato to warm up, satisfy your aesthetic ambience desires, and refine your tea palate. Better than anywhere else. Really inexpensive. Great tea.

    A man, standing behind the counter at 507 Poke Bowl like a Greek god who accidentally wandered into…read moremy life. Majestic hair that looked like it belonged in a slow-motion shampoo commercial. Strong arms that could carry the weight of my emotional baggage and a week's worth of groceries. A smile like he already knew all my secrets--and was cool with all of them. His shirt--tight enough to show he definitely works out, loose enough to leave me desperate for more. It clung to his chest like it was blessed to even touch him. And every time he reached for the sriracha mayo, it lifted just a bit, revealing a flash of sculpted abs like a celestial reward for my devotion. Bowen. That was the name on his tiny name tag, as if that could possibly contain the full force of his cuteness, his power, his divinity. Just five letters, but it hit me like a freight train of longing. And then, like fate was being cruel on purpose, he said it-- That casual, heart-melting, "Hey, how's it going?" It sounded like a wedding vow to me specifically. Like in another life, we had already lived together, grown old together, and now he was just checking in from a memory. I stood there, stunned, heart pounding in my throat, my soul leaving my body and floating somewhere above the seaweed salad containers. I should've run then. I should've taken my spicy tuna bowl and left like a sane person, like someone with boundaries and dignity. But instead, I stood frozen in front of this shirted Adonis, already planning our shared Netflix queue, our future cat's name, and how I'd explain to my family that yes, I met the love of my life in line for poke. 10/10 would go again. Thank you, 507 Poke Bowl. And thank you, Bowen. You were the final straw.

    This was my 2nd time coming here and decided to bring a friend! The food was super good and I've…read morebeen looking for a good ramen place to go to. The staff is always super nice and I even loved the boba we got to go! If you're looking for good ramen or boba, you definitely should stop by here.
