I was pleasantly surprised to see that not only did they have a wide variety of tea but also cooking spices.

There is a nice little "garden" sitting area with a couple of tables and a few chairs if you opt to sit there and drink your beverage. It's a spot worth checking out if you want a nice, freshly brewed unique tea. Being a small shop, the prices are not exactly cheap, but we love supporting small businesses and don't mind when the quality is high (which it was). Main Street has no shortage of places to pop into, and this is a spot we were happy to have checked out during an impromptu trip to the strip yesterday.

First, let's talk about the good. Champ Donut has great tasting donuts and a wide assortment of specialty varieties. Some are picture perfect and great for posting on Social Media. I'm a donut purist and mostly stick to glazed, however, I've tried some of the more fancy styles they have here like the Creme Brûlée donut and they're good, but I really just prefer to stick to the classics. Champ Donut also has a variety of smoothies and Boba Teas. I tried the Passionfruit Smoothie and it is the kind made from a powder with milk. It tastes fine, but it's too sweet for my liking. The issues I have with the inconsistencies at Champ Donut are with food handling. I've had two instances where I've had croissant sausage rolls, and they tasted like the dough had absorbed the scent of Fabuloso. I'm thinking the dough is not stored airtight. Another time, I purchased a bottle of milk here and it was sour even though it had not yet expired. I think some attention to food storage and handling would bring Champ up to the five stars I know they are capable of. It's a great find in this area and it's a cute shop that has a wide selection of breakfast fare.

Some tourist centric shops have popped up with everything Texas stuff, to send back to California ( that's humor) as well as places like Spice and Tea Merchants that ride the blurry line between tourist and useful buy. Out of interest I stopped in primarily because I respected the fantastic historic building restoration they occupy. It's over the top excellent. Once I got inside and being a cook, I could not help but be attracted to the multitude of prepackaged spices. One in particular jumped out at me. I had eaten at a restaurant in Austin years ago and was enamored with my entres flavors. Inquiring to the chef, he let me know it was aleppo chili I was tasting. All these years latter it jumped out at me at Spice and Tea Merchants and I had to buy. Along with a few other spice mixes and a couple of teas,I left a happy camper.

This place has a lot of snacks, candy, drinks, food and gifts that have heritage from GB.

They have a charming little café in the front if you're not up for the full tea experience, but honestly, if you've never done formal tea before, this is the place to try it. It's a really fun way to celebrate something special! Most of us ordered the Alice Tea Tower, which had a great mix of savory and sweet bites. The tea selection here is impressive. I've been to a few tea rooms in the past and this one stood out because of how many unique teas they offer. My favorite was a coconut-flavored one called Island Girl. It was so unique! Since it was my birthday, they even gave me a small teabag of my choice as a gift, which was such a thoughtful touch! Everyone there was incredibly kind and welcoming. They had vegetarian and gluten-free options too, which made it easy for everyone in our group to enjoy. The décor is very cute and photo-worthy, and the fact that there is parking made the experience even better. If you're looking for a unique, celebratory experience, whether it's a birthday, a bridal shower, or just a fun outing, Pattea Lou's is a great choice!!
