So I had the pleasure of coming in on a beautiful day to grab and re up on some of my favorite teas…read morefrom this beautiful black owned tea shop in Bedstuy and I must say it's always a great experience! The ambiance is really relaxed , artsy, and intentional. I love the chic ness of the tea shop and the wide variety of teas. The service is always nice and I always leave feeling good which is super important to me! The owners a lovely married couple made the time spent popping in worth the while. If you're looking for great quality tea, a welcoming environment, light bites to eat and or a space to chat over coffee and tea this is the space! Will forever be a customer.

The food was delicious. Perfect flavor without meat! I usually reach for meat but this wrap had…read moreplantain, squash, mushroom, kale, and so much flavor. It came with the sauce on the side so you were able to dress it to your liking. The sauce was a chipotle mayo with a little bit of spice which was total perfection. When you can have something healthier while still enjoying it. Starting my day right!!!! The service was welcoming and inviting. I could stay for 5 minutes or a few hours like the woman behind me with her laptop. The space was inviting and cozy at the same time. I planned my next visit with a girlfriend to do a tea flight.

I had a wonderful experience taking an iced matcha class at Kettl on Monday! I signed up for the…read moreclass before I got to NY and was able to work it into my busy schedule of being a cool aunt. My brother and I walked around the Greenpoint area and then he had to go pick up his kiddo from camp, so I explored the area then put Kettl into google maps thinking I was coming early for class to avoid the rain. I accidentally went to the wrong location and then it started pouring. The staff told me the other location was 10 minutes away by foot, so I hauled myself to it in pouring rain. Luckily I wore workout clothes and tennis shoes that day, but my raincoat was water resistant, not waterproof, so I got pretty soaked. I still arrived a few minutes early, and the staff let me take some napkins to dry myself off. The class was at the bar in the back of this flagship location. It was set up for two, but I was the only person who showed. Jayanna led me through a very detailed class, provided handouts and a soba tea cookie along with water, and answered a ton of questions I had. As a daily matcha maker, I knew I had a lot to learn. She showed me how to care for the different tools used to make matcha. We made three preparations: sparkling matcha, shaken matcha, and matcha latte. We went through each with various steps and measurements. She demonstrated what to do and then I would make the drinks for both of us. It was a very fun experience and I learned a lot. I also got to shop after the class with a 15% discount, so I got myself a custom single cultivar matcha called okuju made exclusively for Kettl and especially for lattes, and then some individually wrapped fancy tea bags of matcha genmai and hojicha for Eric when he travels. The class had an hour and a half of instruction and I spent a half hour asking about products and shopping. It is a very nice space and I would love to try some of the unique drinks on the menu plus take more classes. If you love matcha and learning, I recommend taking a class here or at the LA location if you are on the west coast!

Kettl is a bit overrated imo. I tried the shirakawa matcha latte, their highest grade for matcha…read morelattes. I thought it was decent, but I feel like it could've been stronger. It also wasn't creamy enough for a latte. The shiso white peach matcha soda was a fun experimental drink, but I feel like for a matcha drink, the matcha flavor was definitely dominated by the shiso and white peach flavors. It was really refreshing though for a hot summer day. Super adorable store! I want to try the matcha tasting one day!

I absolutely love this place. I first came here for a Yelp event week, where I tried the Hood…read moreHealer and their vegan lentil soup. Both were incredible and I felt immensely better afterwards. I later returned on several occasions and tried their Moon Milk, which is a delicious mixture of turmeric, cardamom, coconut and ashwahganda, the Key to the Garden drink (coconut, nutmeg, cacao, cinnamon and maple), their vanilla chocolate chip cookies and regular chocolate chip cookies. You can get these drinks hot or iced. I had all of them iced! I also had one of the best iced matcha lattes ever from here with sweet coconut milk. WOW. From what I've seen, baked goods change daily and their drink menus change semi often as well, which is exciting!! Outside, there is some seating, lovely items and books for purchase and a window to order, as well as the menu items displayed on boards and items around the space. Inside is quite similar, but with more items for sale and more seating. The vibes are immaculate and this seems to be a space that's community centered and has an emphasis on carrying items made by local artists. Remember to bring cash to tip. I cannot wait until my next visit here!!

When they said secret Garden, I suppose so because I have a hard time finding this spot because it…read moredoesn't outright have any signage that says secret Garden or juice bar like it's supposed to or what you would think that it should so I just think that's kind of weird, but once you walk past the place several times. You realize it's cluttered with a bunch of knickknacks and other games and accessories that. Some of the items inside look like they're either for sale or just meant for display, which is fine, but I feel like it distracts from the main purpose, which is serving food and being a comfortable resting spot. It's no fault of the place, but the vibe is a mix of reggae, African folk music, and incense, and it contrasts sharply with the environment outside. There's an Italian restaurant across the street blasting Frank Sinatra type music, so the clash is noticeable. I feel like maybe the sound could be adjusted or balanced somehow. As part of the promotion, I ordered the vegan lentil soup. It was okay, nothing special but not bad. Then I was served an iced chai latte, and most of the spices sank to the bottom under the ice. After I swirled it, the spices still didn't have much flavor. It wasn't strong or pungent, and you couldn't really taste the spices or feel any of the digestive benefits chai is usually known for. It didn't taste like tea; it was just mildly sweet. I could see myself drinking it with a dessert, but it didn't stand out on its own. The service was friendly. I hope this place the best and want it to succeed but it needs to literally clean up.

When I went to pick it up, one of the staff members kindly pointed out that they actually have a drink called snowy jasmine, which is basically the same as what I ordered. Since my order came out to around $12, she patiently explained everything to me and even helped process a refund, then reordered it for me as the Snowy Jasmine instead. I ended up saving a couple of dollars, which I really appreciated. It might not seem like a big amount, but the fact that she took the time to let me know and help me fix the order really stood out. This is the best service I've experienced at 8ave so far!

The counter was emptied when we first came but it filled up pretty quickly. We just got a matcha latte and one prix fixe menu to share. For the main dessert, we picked the chocolate and hojicha soufflé. The chocolate soufflé was light and airy and not too sweet. It paired very well with the hojicha ice cream and caramel apple on the side. Overall, all the dessert was pretty good but everything was very small and I don't think it tasted that good that it worth $30. The service was also not that great. My husband and I were a little confused when we first got into the store and we weren't sure if we needed to be seated. A lady that worked there saw us but never greeted us nor gave us water until we asked. It took a while for someone to acknowledge us and it just made us felt a little uncomfortable.
