    Very cozy and their teas are delicious. I went with jasmine green tea and got their ramenrrito with the ginger sauce and pork belly. It sounded cool in theory, but tasted like Lo mein in a tortilla

    Coffee? Well, tea can be great too. I got hot pressed Himalayan Black tea, and it's pleasant hints of both bitter coffee and chocolate flavors.... with super nice teapressers? I'm coming back.

    Unlike other tea rooms and storefronts, this is a great café for getting work done. Press Tea is sun-soaked and warm, thanks to the large windows, and there is ample seating, plus an inviting couch. Read more

    Best tea of my life. Iced green tea (served in a pint glass) has a thick head of velvety cream. Rose teapuccino is divine hot or cold. Afternoon tea deal ($22) is basically lunch for two. So good!

    They no longer have unlimited free wifi. Only one hour with purchase. Still worth going for amazing tea.

    Ask for no sweetener (which is sugar based) and they have honey available at the side table!

    Free Wifi. Nice people. Avoid the southernmost window seats after lunch — they get the afternoon sun.
