    Our pot of tea
    Sabrina L.

    Be aware that The Steeped Leaf is inside this incredible mall (look at my photo). Our gps said we were there but all we saw was the mall. My daughter spoted the logo on the outside window. You want to stop here and enjoy some tea and their food. The owner was super sweet and we love that you feel like you are in your own space. We enjoyed a big pot of tea for less than $9. Their sandwiches were amazing. My daughter took a photo of hers. It was my daughter's birthday and she was so happy she picked this place for lunch. Also fun was walking around this mall.

    Fruit and cheese tray, so yummy

    I love this tea lounge, it's inside the painted tree. I usually order as soon as I get there and walk around, depending on how many people, it can be a little wait but I don't mind since it gives me time to walk the first half of the store. Great place to have a girls day.

    I love this little gem inside of Painted Tree! It's such a cozy atmosphere for lunch & their teas are beyond amazing! This is one of the places that has the largest variety I've seen of tea. It's always amazing service & the owner is a true tea lover! The food is yummy and healthy. I'm so happy I found this place. The matcha is high quality & the food is flavorful!

    This was a great stop to eat lunch at. And it was in the middle of a shopping mall. Super nice service and great tea and food.

    Today my daughter and I went to the Painted Tree specifically to eat at The Steeped Leaf. We are so glad we did! Tammy was patient with us when we asked several questions about the different teas. She has an extensive choice of teas and the tea she recommended, Jin Jun Mei, was excellent. We had the Prosciutto & Fontina w/ hummus & veggies, Turkey & Brie w/ Tomato Basil soup and Lemon Bar. Everything was delicious and presented well (forgot to take pictures). Tammy was so sweet and attentive. The restaurant is cozy and quiet. We cannot wait to return.

    This week was one for discoveries. Our first discovery was Painted Tree Boutique, which was a good shopping experience, but inside we found our second and favorite discovery, The Steeped Leaf. This little spot is surrounded by shopping booths and nicely decorated locales. What makes The Steeped Leaf unique is that it is a tea lunch spot. Beautified with gorgeous chairs and comfortable looking tables, it is ideal for a stop and drink, or eat, as you will. We were curious and asked about their teas, and were given an impressive menu with many tea selections. Their teas are served by the pot and when I tell you they are incredibly affordable, I am not exaggerating. We paid about $5.00 and change for a 24 oz pot of ginger honey tea, which was delicious. The tea set it was served in was gorgeous, and came with a tiny spoon for stirring. The owner was very sweet and charming, which added to the color and ambiance of this place. While we didn't sample any of her delicious looking baked goods and food, we made a promise to go back for a taste. If the food is anything like the tea, I can't wait to try them.

    So many choices of teas!

    Just had a light lunch and tea at this adorable shop inside the Painted tree boutique. The ladies running the business were so kind and attentive. Food and drinks were made quickly and according to special requests. I can't wait to come back with friends to visit in between shopping!

    The lady who took my order was really nice, she explained to me what type of scones they offered and had available. When I first came in she was cleaning the floors so I assume the employees keep the place really clean. I believe they had music too which brought some comfort while eating my scones. And the scones were really good!! My favorite was the white chocolate raspberry scone. I'll be definitely be coming back here.

    I passed this on the way to my assignment location and began researching this spot. Some google…read morereviews mentioned they are F1 fans and Ferrari people. So I knew I had to check them out. I was able to make my way here on my last day in San Antonio in late March thanks to my flight being delayed and my oh my, I am quite impressed! The older gentleman taking my order at the counter gave me a big smile when I mentioned I heard you have this thing called the serious sandwich here. He told me that they do and then stated "You won't regret ordering it, seriously." Chuckling, I decided on a half order of that along with a side of potato salad and their side of beans. After taking my first bite, I realized the gentleman was right. This is a dope sandwich! Excellent cured meats in the salamar and pair of hams along with the provolone and melted cheddar with the veggies, spices, italian dressing, and mustard. The bread they use holds up well and has a slight crunch to it. If you prefer your bread to have softness to it, you may have to ask if they can substitute a different bread instead of the italian flat bread they use. But I absolutely love this sandwich the way it is! As for the sides, the potato salad has a slight mustard taste and right consistency with a dash of paprika on top; just the way I like it. The beans are charro beans (I think) that are served steaming hot with some pork trimmings mixed in; I may have dipped my sandwich in it a couple times for flavor explosion. What can I say, I'm adventurous! There's some ferrari memorabilia and posters on the right side where some of the high top seating is. As a Ferrari F1 fan, I appreciate them displaying this here along with the track map of the COTA circuit in Austin. The seating area is spread out nicely with plenty of seats/tables and a drink station with some random signs up. All of interest to consumers like us. Definitely recommend coming here for either the serious sandwich or other delicious ones like their meatball sandwich or manhattan. I can't wait to come back and try the other ones but I may just stick with the serious sandwich cause I loved it. SERIOUSLY!

    Have been, twice, taking the food to go. We were at the nearby vet so picked up sandwiches. They…read morehave lots of options for sides. The second time, I saw the reviews with 'skimpy meat' so ordered extra meat. They have chips, garden salad, mac salad, potato salad, etc. We were pleased. They put "dressing" (oil & vinegar m) on the sandwiches, which made them hard to eat, even in the car, so waited until we got home. Service was friendly. Did not eat in but used restroom.

    This is the place for Philly Cheesesteak! Gino's deli is also good, but this is equally wonderful…read more Those are the only 2 places you should consider if you're a cheesesteak snob like me. This cannot be beat. Get the American cheddar (and extra if you love cheese). Get extra red sauce (jalapeno salsa or something). I like my cheesesteak with mushrooms and jalapeños. This is definitely big enough to share unless you have a beast for a husband. Get 2 and put 1/2 in fridge for tomorrow. It gets a tad soggy, but it's almost even better the next day. The bread here is amazing. The staff is super rad. The location and vibe is spot on. Do not miss this secret spot.

    Unpopular opinion incoming: I'm not overly impressed. A good sandwich is one of my favorite things,…read moreso this joint's been on my radar for a while. So, when co-workers wanted to go yesterday, I jumped on it. Don't get me wrong. I love the vibe of this place. I LOVE their story. It's very NY/Northeastern deli feel (they're from Pittsburgh, but you get my drift, right!?). No nonsense. Small inside area. No tables inside. Just enough room to look at the menu, order, and go wait outside. I opted for the chicken bacon ranch on hoagie. What came out was a decent size sandwich, but incredibly messy and soggy. There was so much juice/ liquid the sandwich quickly became unmanageable and just disintegrated. Look, if you're going to serve a sandwich that messy, please upgrade your napkins. It was a one bite - two napkin ratio. The sandwich was good, but the mess and difficulty eating it just took away any enjoyment. Additionally, the flies outside rivaled the worst I've experienced. Do you remember the scene in the Lost World, Jurassic Park movie when the hunters found the Rex nest!? Okay, okay, maybe not that bad, but it was a lot. Hang some fly bags or strips or somethin'. Found price to be a little high. By the time I bought chips and a drink, plus tip: $22. Just FYI: my co-worker disagrees. He thought it was the BEST SANDWICH HE'D EVER HAD. So, yes, go give them a try, but bring a beach towel for clean up.

    Solid no. First time visit, definitely will be no repeat…read more Ordered a hot Italian. Since I've never eaten here before I'm inclined to believe I may have gotten something else, because I've never had a hot Italian with the meat choices this one had. No lettuce, no tomato, no seasoning of any kind, just grilled meat, some onions and grilled green peppers. (Willing to accept this may have been because I was unclear on what came with the sandwich- but including lettuce and tomato seems standard for an Italian). Bread was good, service was quick. Shop was neat and clean, nice decor. Just not a good experience.

    Ambiance is on point. It is a small venue but it is legit. I was assisted by a girl who spoke…read morevery softly and quietly that I had to lean over the counter to make out what she was saying. Then the guy with the slicked hair, looking like a true Italian took over my order like a pro. He knew exactly what I was looking for and offered all the good toppings I wanted. I didn't get the guys name but if all his employees strived to be like him then this shop would be A-OK. I ordered the veggie wrap because I gave up meat for the season. It was delish. I didn't know they also had pepper relish, but The Guy offered it to me on the side. This place has good service. I give 4 stars because that one rep was speaking like a librarian and made the ordering process alil challenging.
