They have a single stall bathroom that is clean and cute and ties in with the theme! I grew up drinking lots of tea (always without flavoring) and it's been fun trying the different varieties and flavors they offer. I've come by their store a few times, most notably a few weeks ago when I brought my in laws who were visiting. Drew patiently spent over half an hour answering their questions and giving suggestions and help before we got in line to order. We bought some tea leaves and got a tea flight and a ginger rising latte with oat milk. The tea flight was a nice way to sample and the ginger rising latte was amazing. I usually drink tea with just water but every once in a while I love a milk tea and that one was perfectly warming, comforting, and tasty. The tea flight came with 3 teas of choice, a card explaining more about the tea and where it came from, and some loose leaf tea so you can touch and see what it was like before it was steeped. They ended up buying more tea especially after enjoying the tea flight and the latte. My FIL had many questions to ask about tea, storage, tea plants, etc and he ended up speaking to Katie and Sara who were so patient, kind and helpful. They were so gracious with their time and my FIL was very happy someone spent the time to share so much information about tea. They also kindly gifted us a tea sampler which he was excited to try. Throughout the time we were there, we watched the trains go by multiple times. It is a bit of a pain to get stuck behind one and you never know when they'll come and when they'll be done passing. So plan accordingly if you need to get there/leave by a certain time. They do have a great view of seeing the trains go by! In total we spent about 2 hours there and they absolutely loved the experience. I came back with my husband recently so he could check the place out and we saw Drew again! He remembered I'd come by a few weeks ago and I told him how happy my FIL was that he learned so much through Katie and Sara and Drew mentioned Katie is a VP of the company and Sara is a tea sommelier (such cool jobs!). It was so kind of them to take the time to answer a boatload of questions even though I'm sure they had tons of work to do. Everyone we interacted with here was warm, passionate, helpful and patient. I would highly recommend coming here to try some tea and enjoy the setting. Thank you again, Drew, Katie, and Sara!!

The staff was incredibly friendly and it was enjoyable to sit and watch the tea factory in production. While we were enjoying our tea. They have several parking spots in the front and good hours for being able to enjoy a cup of tea after work.

I chose the og bobas coated in their brown sugar. This is perfect if you're indecisive like me or bringing a friend and want to compare flavors! It looked like a slow day for them as we were the only people in the shop. However there are lots of seating and the staff was super friendly and suggested we get one of their rice balls too, so we got the salmon and tuna - which we got to go, I noticed only later that they also have rice ball flights too! Which means I have to go back another time to try another.

The issue I usually have when visiting a new boba shop is what sweetness level to go with. I am normally a half sweet person when they offer everything (0/30/50/70/100). On the menu they had 50/75/100, so I went with the 75 which was too sweet for me. For my taste, I would go with 50% next time. Got the sweet mango drink which I was pretty happy with for flavor.

I wanted to visit the last time I was in Portland but didn't have the opportunity. So I made it a point to visit on my trip and convinced my manager to come too. The cafe is so quaint and serene! As a Japanese cafe, it has lovely art, crafts, and antiques around. I loved the overall space and vibe. It's a nice place to work or hang out with friends, too. Plus, all the workers were kind and helpful, and the items came out quickly. When you enter, their counter offers a wide menu of food and drinks. It can be overwhelming, but in a good way! They have seasonal and traditional items. I got the Pumpkin Matcha Latte with Soy Milk, a Salmon Onigiri, and a Matcha Brownie. My manager got a drink, onigiri, and dessert as well. The matcha latte was yummy! It was creamy, more pumpkin-forward, sweet, with a hint of earthiness. The brownie was very dense and not like a typical brownie texture or consistency. It was heavy on the matcha, and the walnuts had a nice texture; I wish it were chewier! The onigiri was a bit disappointing, and I'd skip it. There was a decent amount of salmon, but the nori was soggy, not crispy like in Japan, and the rice kept falling apart. As a Japanese person, I have high standards for my onigiris, and this wasn't it. I recommend their drinks over their food. Behind the Museum Cafe has such a nice vibe whether you're visiting or living in Portland. I would come back for their drinks! You'll find them across from the art museum off SW 10th Ave.

We came twice in a day and appreciated how quickly they made drinks on the spot! The workers were very efficient, kind, and checked on us. My manager and I got a variety of drinks. We got the Black Sesame Cream Latte, Ube Latte, and Ssuk Latte. The Black Sesame Cream Latte is strong. The cream was super thick and creamy, and it was a struggle to mix and sip. It wasn't too nutty, but it was still good. The Ube Latte was good! It was very creamy; the ube flavor came through, and it was delicious. I didn't add any coffee, and it was perfect. The Ssuk Latte was my absolute favorite! It was so good, earthy, and herby. The milk added a bit of sweetness. It was my first time trying it, and I'd go back just for it.

I enjoyed the minimalist packaging and how the ingredient list in the back had a supports section that included the blends' health benefits. Tea wise, it was really nice. The flavors of the tea blend really comes through and it was not too sweet. It was a comforting cup to enjoy in the quiet morning while it was still not too busy. I also tried their milk oolong and it was rich, aromatic, and had a underlying sweet note, which was really nice. The teahouse had a minimalist design, with ample space all around. There are two outlets available and would make for a nice study/workspace. If you're ever in the area, this is a hangout spot.
