Great Chai latte and crepes…read more We stopped in here on vacation earlier this month. I was kind bummed that my favorite local coffee spot had closed up awhile back (RIP A Different Blend), but super excited to see this cute little tea shop located in the downtown shopping district. I spotted it by chance, but when I saw that East Tawas had an actual tea room, I was there in a flash. I dragged my husband out of the gift shop we were in and we headed over to check it out in person. I wasn't even all that hungry, but I was a bit thirsty and with my curiosity definitely peaked, I took a look inside. It looked every bit as friendly and inviting as one might expect a small town tea shop/cafe to be. It looked and felt every inch the indie tea house that it should be. My husband and I ordered two iced vanilla Chai lattes and some sweet crepes to split between us. Honestly, my latte tasted so delicious, very well-made with a nice, natural vanilla flavor. Whatever syrup they've using, it must be high-quality. My drink lacked the artificial aftertaste often found in inferior syrups (or ones that are past their freshness date). Overall, the latte was great and the service was relatively expedient, even though the person waiting on us seemed to be working alone. My husband doesn't even usually order Chai lattes because he's been burned a few times before when ordering them, as have I, but he was suitably impressed as well. The crepes were amazing, rich with fresh fruit and a nice whipped topping. The crepes themselves were excellent, and while rich and sweet, they weren't too sweet, either. They were some of the lightest crepes I've ever had. I would order them again in a second. While I wasn't that hungry, I was slightly annoyed that I decided to split the order of two crepes with my husband because they were so good. They were cheap, too- about $4.50 for two. I noticed the large selection of bubble teas that were on the menu. I happen to like bubble tea, but didn't try any while we were there. The list of flavors looked impressive. Maybe next time.

Coffee is still garbage. Decided to try it again because…read morewe're walking back from the beach. The "regulars" to this place must really NOT know what coffee is. When you order a latte or something similar here, you basically get a "beverage" that's mostly your creamer of choice and an ever so slight hint of coffee. Again... Gas station coffee is better and higher quality than what you get here. All these 2+ star reviews are just liars. Unless this place gets replaced or new owners who KNOW how to make coffee take over, this place is just pointless for coffee.

The cafe was cute; nothing elaborate but clean and interesting. Seating is limited. We ordered decaf mochas and found them to be piping hot, a bit thin tasting and a little too sweet for our tastes. It was good, but not excellent. Prices were a little more than Starbucks but not appreciably. The bakery items were limited but looked good. Fun mural outside and very close to all the action in Houghton Lake. Definitely a stop worth making when in this area.

Next time, I'll try something else. Their tea flight looked interesting but I was short on time.

The customer service is also not the best. I've heard multiple employees - from new ownership and last - talking in the back room about customers. On top of that, the service itself is okay. They give you your drink and that's about it - no other service.

First time and last time here.... The owner was super rude!…read moreWhen I asked if they had jasmine green tea. He could have just said no but when I ordered just a plain iced green tea, he seemed offended because I didn't want his wife's pearl boba. We paid $8 for two 32 oz green ice teas....the tea tasted like tea from a fountain/soda machine....not good at all. One friend ordered a green tea with no ice, and the owner said there was a "50 cent up charge" because my friend wanted no ice....no big deal but it was how he said it....so rude! And finally, my other friend had the Dragonfruit tea, which he said was good (but the pearls were the best). Just providing an honest review. I have been to many tea and boba shops, this is by far my least favorite. It is located in a cute little house and has a drive through. But I still would not recommend because that man that took our order (owner) was just so unpleasant. Is this a Michigan thing? This is the second place that treated up poorly! I will take my money elsewhere
