My grandma loves it too, and we're both huge fans of Carol--she's the sweetest, kindest part of the experience. Whenever Carol is there, the whole visit feels amazing. She always helps me pick new, fun teas and knows exactly what I like, as well as what my grandma might enjoy. I also struggle with sleeping, and the Sweet Dreams tea from here literally helps me--it's become a must-have for winding down at night. If you're a tea lover or just looking for a friendly, welcoming shop, Old Town Tea Merchant is the place to go, and Carol makes it truly special. We were even able to do a wine and spice pairing at my family's restaurant it was a blast.

I liked that they had kid's cups. The sushi was super spicy and the presentation was fun. The interior is casual with Asian decor items like lanterns. The service was prompt. The location is prime and in the middle of the Old Town area. The bad: The chicken was tough and seemed microwaved. It lacked grill flavor and the rice also seemed old. The vegetables weren't tender and also were lackluster in flavor. Food was all served in to-go containers even though we dined in. It was unappetizing to see miso soup in a 1/2 filled plastic container. The interesting: We were the only diners there on a Thursday evening.

Attention Management:…read more I am staying at a hotel across the street and just returned from this local am/pm It was just going on midnight but I am going through a divorce and after a long week and rough night.... I needed red wine and chocolate What I didn't need? Was the awful treatment I received from this horrible excuse for an employee I walked from the hotel across the street and had chosen to bring along my fashionable personally monnogrammed shoulder bag bag as I'd intended to load up on a bunch of snax for my dog and myself. And again, it's just across the street from my hotel so the bag would be perfect to bring back my wine and snack attack items. Or so I innocently thought This guy was mopping the floor when I let myself in I offered an unreturned smile and cheerful greeting and made a shy humorous apology.... if my shopping would mess up his floor... expecting him to say, "no problem" or something more welcoming instead of the silent mean dirty scoul he shot back at me. Yikes! But I've been house hunting all day and this was my only chance to get a few supplies to bring back to my hotel and unwind I was browsing for jerky and snack mix and .... Then ? He shouted across the store "Excuse me?" He yelled at me over the isles that separated Us "You're taking too long and you have a back pack. "How do I know you're not stealing " he accused. I'm the one and only person in the store and he never took his eyes off me. Yes. It was the first time Id come up for air all day. I was trying to enjoy pucking out some much needed and rare treats. I wasnt aware there is a time limit. Id been in the store less than 3 Minutes. I kept reminding myself that he couldn't possibly mind that I had the nerve to shop in the store. But I still took care to take as few steps as I could to respect his still wet mopped floor. I was startled and offended and fustered When he couldn't take me being in his presence anymore. Apparently... So I quit my browsing and felt I had to get out of there I was the only person in the store besides this very angry employee behind the counter. He clearly couldn't wait to have the place all to himself again He was angry with me for being there since I first had the nerve to show up I was so taken aback and insulted and suddenly felt so uncomfortable I did not want to be in this store with this angry man I gave up my quest for creature comforts and raced with whatever I'd gathered to the counter he towered over and I Thrust the items I'd had the little time to gather onto the counter and started to apologize for giving him my business but he was so rude and angry and impatient. Like he'd never been so disgusted by the nerb of someone bothering him at this hour I could not get out of there fast enough Of course I realize that places like this can be dangerous at night But I'm a 57 year old woman wearing designer clothes and being as friendly as can be I'm white and attractive and well enough dressed. Not that any of this should at all matter It's just.... I've never been profiled and accused and ever felt so incredibly unwelcome in any store like this before He had me so flustered and was overly dramtatic as he sighed and paced with irritation and impatience as I searched my bag for my credit card with a very unexpected nervousness and as I felt all of the impact of his rushing me out of his store like I had no right at all to bother him and invade his personal space He atared at me like he was trying to make me feel incapable of paying. Making mocking pffft sounds like a woman like me wouldnt have the money or something.... I know. Im making it sound ovearly dramatic Trust me If it wasn't ? I have many more important things to be doing than to figure out how to submit a Yelp review because I'm so upset right now I don't know what he needed the store for all to himself like that but CLEARLY this customer was terribly unwanted Again.... I'm sure his job comes with unsavory characters from time to time But is Saturday just before midnight okay to go to am/pm? Or is that too late for a nice lady like me to shop at your store? I was weary of people out this late But the street was quiet as can be There was no one in sight at all Who knew the creepy person I'd dreaded running into being out so late at night? Was in charge of the mini mart? The am/pm employee was all over me and with his insults and vulgarity I seriously worried about someone outside causing me grief so I took this bad ass trip right across the totally bare and empty well lit street in a nice middle class suburban area at my own risk only to find the streets safe and that danger lurked within This guy had no right to ruin My night like this Unkind Unfair Not Right
