This was fine on a nice evening, but left me wondering why their online ordering system defaulted to a fairly generous tip from a price that wasn't low to start. They had some interesting menu options and I appreciated the light flavor of the grass jelly in the tea I got, but the actual tea flavor wasn't that strong.

You can see the full menu, control your sweetness and sugar level, and add extras exactly how you want. DMV folks who are picky about their drinks will appreciate that. I've tried the vanilla taro, mango sticky rice matcha, and the passionfruit tea. All were good, but the vanilla taro definitely takes the cake. Smooth, creamy, and always on point. If you're in the DMV and looking for a solid drink spot that never misses, Spot of Tea is worth the stop.

There is plenty of seating to enjoy your drink inside or eat poke from the other place. I ordered a hot taro coconut milk drink with boba and coconut jelly at 30% sugar from the kiosk. It cost $9 and the service was reasonably fast, but the drink had so many issues with it. The temperature was lukewarm at best, and it was cloyingly sweet. There was no taro in the drink afaik, which means they probably used taro flavoring. The boba was soft with no bounce or chew to it, and the coconut jelly felt so flat as well, not chewy. Gong Cha used to be one of my favorite places to get boba and now I will no longer be going there.

The restaurant I very clean and the decorations are really pretty. We ordered soup dumplings and noodles and our food was ready really fast. I ordered the veg spicy and sour noodles and they come with an egg and crispy pieces of corn and a lot of boi hot which I love. The flavor was spicy with a hint of lime for the sour flavor. My husband ordered the beef noodle soup and he said it tasted amazing. Our chicken soup dumplings were full of flavor and a lot of broth inside. This place is really similar to Yu noodles which is one of my favorite places so if I'm ever in the area again I would go to this place for soup dumplings. Our server was really sweet as well.

Our order was brought out faster than I expected, with our mains coming up before the apps. Although not as spicy as I was hoping for, the spicy mapo tofu with noodles was really good.

I also tried the pan fried dumplings and spicy wontons in chili oil. Both were just okay. I'll be back when I'm in the area to try out additional items.

This seems to be a family-owned shop with a good variety of breakfast and lunch sandwiches (which can also be ordered during breakfast hours). Since it was early, I went for the Downtown Breakfast and chose bacon (instead of sausage) on sourdough. Everything is freshly made and they use real eggs (made your way) and fresh bacon. While the sandwich was good, I'm giving Bread Me Cafe 3 stars because the coffee was super weak and they use really cheap lids, so I ended up spilling hot coffee on myself and so did two other people with me. Plastic cutlery was also super flimsy and we had forks break while trying to cut breakfast items.
