Tea
Emmaly N.

Love that this place has masking days!! The tea-rista was very sweet and helped us choose which teas we wanted to try. I got a jasmine tea and it was exactly what I was hoping for! They also do refills on hot water so you can enjoy your tea for as long as possible!

Just up the hill from my nail salon. Have meant to stop by in the past and finally dropped in last week after an appointment for something refreshing on a warm day. Greeted friendly and not rushed to order. Friendly and helpful staff. Scanned the menu and decided on a iced herbal tea to avoid caffeine-at 5:30pm. So many wonderful selections to pick from. Can't remember the actual name but went with notes I knew I would enjoy and was familiar with. Hibiscus ginger waited for the tea to brew and enjoyed looking at the current art exhibit on display. Quaint shop with seating to enjoy you beverage of choice but also lots of selections of leafs to bring home to brew along with local brands like Sugimoto matcha.

I was looking for a place that had a large tea selection and oh boy did I find it! I walked in and was greeted by this lovely human being who was welcoming and gave me a make yourself at home vibes. The menu was organized and categorized by different types of teas you could want. I was trying to decide between 3 different black teas and she let me smell the leaves to decide which one would satisfy the tastebud gods that are here to serve...anyways, I went with this black tea with a rich honey creamy note and oh my was it hitting every single corner of my tongue in pure delight. You must complete this side quest and come here to try all the teas. You might become addicted to trying it out. Needless to say, I have to come back here every time I visit Washington now.

Super cute, super cozy tea shop. Lots of really interesting mixes and i love that they serve in french presses. We got there in the morning and i think it was the owner gave us the coolest tea tasting experience. FOR FREE. AMAZING. You can really tell how passionate she is about tea and we learned so much and had such an engaging convo. And then in the afternoon they had a tea/crafting session so we chilled, crocheted, and had some tea. Like I said, super cozy.

Tasty tea!!! Very kind service and knowledgeable, hard working staff. The ambiance is cute and cozy. There are only a few tables so nab a spot if and when you can. They do have a strongly encouraged mask policy too - so come prepared or be ready to put one of the provided ones on. Very cool community events that they host too!

Fantastic neighborhood treasure in Wallingford. Excellent education from store staff about variety of teas. Plenty of tables to sit and enjoy but also take out is very easy. They have excellent snacks from a local bakery. The great place to come and work or enjoy conversation or pick up some tea you have never tried before.

Tea Connoisseur- finding the neighborhood tea gem shop evoked the feeling of utter joy. I am from Darjeeling and sipping quality Darjeeling tea here made my day! Staff is very friendly and very cute wizard ambience. I will be back again with friends to try their wide collection of teas.

Iced tea, chess club in the outdoor patio area.
Mariya B.

I recently learned of this place through Eventbrite (they offer various events at the cafe and definitely recommend checking out their upcoming events). In particular, I learned about their chess club and decided to give it a try. Chess club was super fun. It was a relaxed and laid back atmosphere. 4 of us showed up, and one of the barista's was super helpful at explaining the rules of chess and offered to play with us as well. We ended up getting our iced tea and playing chess outside bc it was a nice evening out. The tea was phenomenal and they had a good variety of flavors. The barista was also helpful at helping me narrow in on what I want (ended up getting a tropical fruit tea and 10/10 would recommend!). Overall, lovely experience. Can't wait to go again!

Treats too! So excited to try this place!

My husband and I came here during the summer of 2020 during COVID. Such a bummer we didn't have a good experience because we're avid tea lovers! We go to the NW tea festival every year and drink tea daily. It sure is fishy that EVERY single review except this is 5 stars! We had a super weird experience. Staff was not friendly. They didn't acknowledge us for quite a while- no hello, no goodbye, we had to ask to even order anything. The tea was nothing to write home about. The interior was bland and not well thought out. I never give low reviews but it was such a weird experience! There was only 1 seat so we had to sit on each other's laps. Would not return.

Showing off a haul of tea and things I bought. There is a sharing cup for gongfu cha, a few 1oz bags and a variety of sample sized bags.

Hood Famous - Coconut Pandan Cheesecake

Calling this ube cheesecake a little purple slice of heaven may be an understatement. It's that…read moregood. I'd heard a lot about this singular item; how it became a Seattle iconic bakery pickup dish and the people who rave about it. Due to it closing somewhat early, I'd never been able to make it out there though, until now. And there was no question about what I was getting. As someone unhealthily (literally) obsessed with cheesecakes, this is right up my alley. This is unlike any cheesecake I've had. The first thing you feel is the immediate richness - characteristic of the very best. I want to feel like I'm consuming something that's going to shorten my life when I eat a cheesecake. This absolutely delivers on that promise; it's got a mouthfeel that lingers and makes you feel its presence even after the last bite is gone. The tiny-bit sour, heavily deep and cheesy flavor is complemented by a texture that's supremely soft. The crust is also great - while not as hard as other crusts I've had, this is unique as its made with coconut butter biscuit. What makes this one unique is the same thing that makes it purple. Its ube flavor combines so well with the normal cheesecake flavor that I can't believe I haven't had this combination before. The slightly-sweet, vanilla-forward, coconut-hinting, earthy nature of the yam balances out the cheese perfectly. The only thing practically missing is a touch of salt for something truly awesome. The only downside here is the price is 9 bucks. That is a lot for a cheesecake piece that's pretty small - roughly 150g. Overall, this absolutely ranks up there with some of the best cheesecakes I've had. 9.75/10

Great pastries that aren't too sweet, high praise for Asian pastries in general. I tried the…read morepopular ube cheesecake and pandan cookie. While I enjoyed both, my favorite is the cheesecake. Cheesecake isn't my favorite cake either, so I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Coffee was fine, I would stick with the pastries here. Overall, it's a cool space to hang out and catch up. Menu leans on the pricier side

We got the…read moreLavender Vanilla Skies milk tea with the creme foam on top and the horchata milk tea with creme foam. I enjoyed the lavender one and it was very pretty when I first got it. The hint of lavender is subtle but the creme was very good! It was nice and sweet and light. The horchata drink was alright. It was cinnamon milk tea in a way and mixed well with the creme. The drinks didn't take too long to make so no complaints there. The place is in a food court so it is just a little window. It is cute on the exterior but not much else.

Jardin is an interesting boba spot with a ton of unique flavors. Albeit the (specialty) drinks are…read moreslightly pricier than usual, it seems they also include crema by default. As part of the Uwajimaya food court, it's easy to get in and get out or grab a drink for the road, plus there's validated parking. They also have sandwiches, soup, and donuts. I'd stick to just the drinks though. Plenty of other options in the food court. While I thought some drinks were good, I thought the overall experience was average. I ordered on at 5pm on a weekday and noticed the "Happy Hour Specials" so I decided to also snag a sandwich. Well, that advertisement was a lie. Their menu advertises 20% off for the combo of a sandwich and a drink while their digital screen shows 10% off with a soup (without the limited happy hour). In the end, I paid about $20 with tax and tip for a sandwich and a drink so they clearly did not honor the happy hour. It's not much at the end of the day, but false advertisement is a bad user experience. Overall, the service is very mediocre. Menu does not make it evident that sugar and ice levels can be adjusted and the employees cannot be bothered to ask. Same with any milk substitutions. Once you receive the drink, it's evident that sweetness can be adjusted at least, still unsure about the ice. Plus the experience with the combo showed apathy. Turkey Grilled Cheese Sandwich - I had ordered food before but saw the happy hour and went for a sandwich. My other food was ready quickly while this grilled cheese took close to 25 minutes. My drink was ready 10 minutes before so I was just left waiting. It's a solid sandwich with a strong amount of cheese but lacking in the protein. Not worth the price. Uhi Empress Milk Tea w/ Boba - first of all, boba is pretty solid. Flavorful with fair sugar coating and chewy, only lacking a bounce. Uhi is another purple yam like ube but originates from Hawaii. Flavor is very similar, so ube and taro enjoyers will appreciate this drink. Jardin Pink Milk Tea - as one of their signatures, I knew I had to try it. The flavor is a watered down lychee jelly and while lychee jelly as a topping tastes fine, this liquid form just tastes off. Not very sweet as a drink but also lacking flavor. More like water with mashed up lychee jelly without the texture. I would honestly never get this drink again, but the others were good. Banana Breeze Milk Tea - good old fashioned banana milk! If you've ever had the little cartons or banana milk tea from a spot like Boba Guys, this is very similar. Banana is flavorful and sweet but the tea helps prevent a sugar overload, so the drink is balanced.
