    Yay! They are finally open! I have driven past Exploring Tea and More a few times wondering when they will open. Then there was an announcement on Facebook that they had opened their doors. I was expecting something different when I arrived. I was thinking something like Starbucks, but it's like going to the back of Cost Plus where all of the coffee and teas are. This is the store version of that. There is a wall of different teas that you can smell. There's some cool mugs and glass mugs with a steeper. There's different steepers, I got one a dolphin on a chain. There's honey; I got the cinnamon honey and it is really good. I got the pirate blend because it had this interesting aroma. The tea is good. I was also offered a sample and it was good tea. I think this would be a good place to come and play board games with friends.

    I love this place. They are so knowledgeable. The prices are super fair. My only complaint is you can't smell the teas online to order!

    “Went there for the first time expecting a small little shop, but it's a very nice place where you can order tea and chill for a little bit or you can grab loose leaf teas for home.”

Owner/operator Katie Fokias Wheeler was born in North East England, where she lived until marrying an American soldier from Weiser, Idaho. Today, Katie and her family live in Kuna. She named her business after a historical home she and her husband visited on their honeymoon. Katie sells her baked goods and preserves at local farmer's markets, as well as event/bazaar booths. She also takes custom orders of just about anything British, including savory items. To find and/or contact Katie, join her private Facebook page, or you can call her. I have included a photo that is a screenshot of her Facebook page. I visited Katie at the Meridian farmers market, which she frequents. KM and I bought a variety of items. Some of our favorites were the Cherry Bakewell Tarts, Jam & Coconut Sponge cake, Scones, and Shortbread. We also enjoyed getting to try the "Royal Wedding" Elderflower Sponge cake. If you recall, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a Lemon-Elderflower cake with raspberry filling for their wedding cake. I can't say enough good things about this unique business. Whether you're planning a tea party, want to surprise your favorite Anglophile, or just want to purchase some delicious treats for you and your family, Cragside Downs has exactly what you are looking for. Highly Recommended!!!

    The best British food in town! The only thing that beats the food is the owner, extremely lovely.read more

    To say I was disappointed would be an understatement of the year…read more I went in last night to scope the bakery offerings. I saw empty trays of butter croissants, palmiers, and chocolate croissants. The prices compared to what is being offered in Boise was less expensive so it seemed like Paris Banh Mi sold out of these items. I gathered my daughter and my French mom the next morning to get to Paris Banh Mi at their opening to only find that those empty trays from the night before were still empty. I walked up to the young man at the cashier and asked where were all the croissants, palmiers, and chocolate croissants. He tells me, matter of factly, that what they have is out on display. To be clear, what was out on display was two or three offerings of bakery goods that didn't look fresh or even appetizing. If you're going to be a French bakery and have trays with the words of Croissants, Palmiers, and others then stock it OR Remove them as it is false advertising. Matter of fact, take out the Eiffel Tower by the front door while you're at it. There's NOTHING FRENCH or PARIS related here. I will never come back. It was embarrassing experience.

Their broth accommodates those that has a mild spicy level. Beef is tender and the pho is amazing as well. I still think they could still switch the plastic bowls and spoons to reusable and sustainable bowls is all. We did get their spring rolls but it was 2.5/5 for us. Noticed they used iceberg lettuce and could use more traditional herbs such as mint and a different type of lettuce. Felt like there was more iceberg lettuce than the actual protein and noodles. The peanut sauce was a bit sweet and had a more jelly consistency. Drinks and pastry was delicious! Danish was still warm and drink was much needed for a sweet taste. Fast service and cute setting

Bat Man and Marvel comics were his go to. So, coming to this joint only made sense. Yoooooo, this has to be one of the dopest comic book stores around! As soon as you walk in, everything catches your eye! You have Deadpool right at the door. You have beautiful display cases with the most realistic characters in them. Funko Pops nicely organized on shelves. Comic books neatly arranged in bins nicely labeled. It truly is a prestine store. We looked around for a bit. I was just in awww at how cool everything was. My husband was mainly doing the looking. He didn't really find anything that caught his eye. He has a pretty good collection but didn't find what he was specifically looking for. All good cause there's always next time! The gentleman that was working today was really nice! Even though he was mid conversation with another customer, he still greeted us! Very loudly and happily too! The set up of this joint is cool! And the fact that they serve coffee here so you can chill and read a comic is dope. I wouldn't mind sipping on a coffee chilling with my husband while he's vibing to a comic. We both look forward to coming back and seeing what kind of new displays and comics they have.

We got a handful of drinks ordered for us and our kiddos. I usually do a fruit tea but decided to switch it up. So I went with the creme brulee matcha today. It sounded legit. I love creme brulee and I love matcha so having them both together seemed like a winning combo! My drink was decent. It honestly didn't really quite look like the advertised photo, that's what sold me as a visual eater. I was hoping for more caramelized sugar in the drink. The matcha was gritty. And it could have been a hair sweeter. The drink was good but it could have been better. I'm sure we will be back. My sister loves this place and with summer coming up, we gotta keep hydrated. I'll probably stick to my norm and grab a fruit tea the next time in.

Our water cups didn't even have the chance to get to empty and we never waited around wishing someone would ask if we needed anything. The service was great. I would love to tell you the food was equally as amazing but it was definitely a miss for our tastebuds. My husband and I both ordered the Kinya Ramen, and for something that is meant to be a signature dish, it unfortunately lacked cohesiveness. Now I'm not saying it didn't have flavor, because there were many flavors in the ramen. The problem is that they didn't work together. The umami flavor you typically find in a rich pork broth was missing. Almost as if the ramen ingredients were sitting in a water mixed with a bit of garlic oil and nothing else. The chasu was tough to chew and the egg was cooked perfectly but had an almost vinegar-like bite to it. The gyoza was just okay. We also ordered sesame balls that were overcooked. We really wanted to love it here. On the bright side, the location was clean and our waitress was very attentive.

Loved this place and this breakfast is what we have been searching for here in the treasure valley! The lady taking our order was also so sweet and nice! We ordered 2 papusas, one revuelta, then a jalepenos/cheese, two of their coffees that were on the specials hot and iced, avocado toast, two chocolate milks, chilaquiles, and a pastry desert. We have been searching for a while for the perfect chilaquiles in the valley, and finally found it! Man, this was the most traditional one we have found...mo joes/the griddle, they don't even come close! This place takes the cake!! So flavorful and I feel like we don't need to even try any other place for the remainder of the time we are in the treasure valley. Papusas were amazing! Made with love and tasted so fresh! They have the pickled sides and salsa. Coffees were delicious! Loved the hot one with the breakfast, we tried both iced and hot just to see which one we would like more with our breakfast and the hot one paired perfectly with this perfect breakfast. Kids said it was the best chocolate milk they have had. Not sure if there was anything special about what was in there, I should have tried it. All I know is they didn't leave any milk left in their cups. Wife and son shared the avocado toast and when I read the reviews on the avocado toast I didn't think avocado toast could really be "amazing". I was wrong, wife said that it was the best avocado toast she's ever had and agreed that she didn't think it could be that great, but it was! They have cream cheese and some oil they have on it? I don't know but they devoured it. Pastry with the fresh fruit on top was so good! Flaky crust and custard paired perfect with the fruit, we all shared it and took it down! Very cool set up, lots of plants, great music ( old school tunes were playing), and comfy couch by a fire place. All in all so glad we found this place and this is one place we will continue to go to. I wish they were open Sundays, but that's just me being selfish :p. AMAZING food and drinks!
