Came in right after opening and it was only us and the two workers who took our order and made everything. Loved the cottagecore vibes. Couldn't believe how large a menu such a small place had. Plus that weekly specials board. Everything we had was excellent and we absolutely be coming back.

Whale Tea has a beautiful ambiance with great whale plushies and decor. However, our drinks were…read morehardly palatable. We got a hot taro drink and I heard the milk being microwaved behind where we were sitting. The taro was extremely artificial and difficult to drink through the straw. Unfortunately, after a few sips, it went in the trash. The second drink was another non caffeinated option. I liked the coconut milk, but wasn't sure about the rest of the drink. The jellies were interesting and the flavor... indescribable. I finished this drink though. I liked the ambiance but wish I could get a refund for this drink order.

Ordered the basic brown sugar milk tea to try this bubble tea location. I ordered less ice, and…read morenext time I would order cold with no ice because the ice is overwhelming. 50% sugar was the perfect choice for this drink! It was delicious, filling, and perfect. It's quiet and seems to be a hotspot for students hanging out and studying. We received our drinks quickly as well. My husband ordered a strawberry slush because he doesn't like boba; he wasn't aware his drink would have boba included. At first, he was shocked when he discovered the boba, but he was pleasantly surprised when the boba popped. He said he actually enjoyed the flavor unlike previous boba attempts. We will definitely return if in the area.

Yeah, I totally forgot to review this on Saturday when I actually went. Now that I've made my way…read moreback here, I can now finally work on this review in earnest. I've been meaning to come to this place for a short while now. Honestly, the name of this establishment itself is pretty cool. Loaded Goat? Makes me think "liddy on a stack", and anything that makes me think "liddy on a stack" I gotta go check out. I actually tried to write a review here from the last week, but as I was writing, I'd realized something I don't always come across. I was at an impasse and couldn't finish this review on that visit, so I had to plan another trip here. Right away, I notice that rustic interior that's also quite cozy. There many flavors of coffees and latte to choose from with shots if you want something a little extra. Also, the prices here are very reasonable. I didn't get time to sit inside last time, but this time I had a much more laid-back experience. The vibe reminds me a little of a North Carolina ambiance with a splash of California mixed in for good measure. North Carolina because of the interior, and California because of the music. On this visit, the guy tending to me told me the microwave was down, so I couldn't have my croissant toasted. That was quite alright though since I had 2 more stops to make anyway, with one being about half hour's drive away from here. Besides, the croissant was still one of the better croissants I've had in a long time and seasoned perfectly, so I have no complaints, toasted or not. The coffees I had were the Snickers on my first visit and the Coconut Creme Pie Latte this time around. Both lattes were, indeed, liddies on stacks! They were both GOATED, and honestly I would come here more often if my schedules were more friendly to coming here. I have no complaints about this place period. I don't say this following kind of statement often, but I actually prefer this to Starbuck's! That's just how goated this place is.

Met some friends here and sat by the fireplace, the space was cozy, though it is pretty tight and…read morethe line was out the door when I visited. I like my coffee sweet, so the self-service bar was perfect for customizing. Somewhere they say this is the #1 coffee in the state... I'm not so sure. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but you can tell it has a loyal crowd!

So happy I decided to stop in! I ordered a post workout shake and was surprised by all the choices…read morethey had! You can add things to your shake as well. They have vegan options available as well! They have energizing tea's, shakes, even offer baked protein goods! Was greeted as soon as I walked in and everyone was very friendly and answered any question I had perfectly. A very welcoming feel here. I can't wait to come back to try some of the tea's!

My friend and I were in the area and wanted to pick up some tea before walking around. I was…read moreintrigued by the ingredients which included black sesame, ginger, ube, Pandan, and red bean. I decided to get a black sesame ginger latte with boba. I got it cold with half level of sweetness as recommended by the staff. The sesame flavor was satisfyingly strong. There was just a touch of ginger flavor creating a unique well balanced infusion. Boba had a nice soft texture that was appropriate for this drink, although not the softest boba that I've come across. The shop also offered several options for Vietnamese coffee including variations like coconut. There were a few tables with seats available to enjoy the drinks inside and a plant covered wall with a neon sign (For my bes tea) for photo-ops. The store is cash free, credit card only. The best way to pay is actually through the Snackpass app where you can earn a free drink after a certain amount of purchases. I'll definitely stop by here the next time to try more!

I finally had the absolute pleasure of visiting Crossroads recently. What an outstanding place…read more Super awesome, cool and friendly owner/staff. Inviting comfy space. So far, I have only tried the one latte, the jasmine peach latte, which had peach puree, house made jasmine syrup, house made white tea cold foam and dried peaches. It was probably the best latte I have ever had. While their specialty drinks are only available small & medium, their sizes are 16 oz, 20 oz, 24 oz, so the small is actually the equivalent of some shops' large. I have only heard good things about their baked goods/pastries and they both looked and sounded amazing. I can't wait to try one hopefully very soon! Overall it was as close to a perfect experience as you get. Must try for sure. Immediate top spot for me.

Recently obsessed with this local coffee joint. Been spending the week in North Haven checking out…read moresome spots. Super cozy place, eco friendly with some of the best coffee/matcha. Friendly service at the counter, few tables inside to lounge at. My wife and I frequent the Last Drop in Monroe and this is ultra comparable. Very good pricing and kudos to them for using and making homemade syrups! I am a matcha guy so I get an iced matcha latte with vanilla cream cold brew. My wife has had the special Cherry Cold Brew which sells out quick and some lattes with cinnamon brown sugar, fantastic. I vow to get there early enough one of these days to try their blueberry muffins, always sells out quick. They have a host of other pastries as well, you are missing out if you don't try this place.

The grilled cheese was probably the best item of the bunch. The banana pudding was also pretty good but the pecan pie was burnt and the laminated cake was dry again borderline stale.

Then, wouldn't you know, I'm walking around Seymour, CT and spied the other Tea with Tracy. I didn't eat food, but I did order a hot tea to drink. The Louisa May Alcott from the Author's series. Very good. The shop was nice, but it wasn't quite as nice as the Oxford shop was. The tea product offerings seemed similar though. I've still never done an afternoon tea, but it's on my list. 4.25 Stars
