Tea and coffee (hot or iced) is entirely custom, you literally pick it off the wall. Specifically the tea. You can mix and match it however you like- honestly, it’s a really cool concept, and I’ve never seen it before. It’s only about $4-$5, and the cup is quite large for the price. One recommendation would be to label their cups! Even a waterproof sticker makes all of the difference.
If you’d like, you can get tea leaves by the ounce- dry, same with spices. But, know that it doesn’t count toward your loyalty points (if that matters to you as a returning customer).
They have a nice little public bathroom (I’d assume for customers only), but I will say if I could give a recommendation, it would be to upgrade to a stereotypical commercial paper towel dispenser- one that you just pull down the paper towel and it comes out. It’s more sanitary, and would lead to much less waste. Also… the soap was literally water when I washed my hands- which was the purpose of me going to the bathroom- so, maybe a commercial pump soap dispenser? Idk, just some thoughts!
They have plenty seating. Outdoor, and then three separate indoor areas. One by the window which is bar stools, one by the ordering counter which is a lower bar stool, and then one at the back which is normal chairs. You’ll find something you like.
They have low music playing, which is nice for people who like a vibe- but not too crazy- and they even have a “now playing” thing- which wasn’t up at the time, but I really hope they end up using it because that would be really neat.
Overall, they turned the previous store that was there into a large cafe, and honestly I have no clue how they did it. And they turned their small tea/spice shop into what will now be a Main St staple. I wish them nothing but the best!
The atmosphere is very calming, but light and bright. The barista welcomed me with a genuine smile, and welcomed me. Upon realizing it was my first time there, he politely showed me the options the store gives its customers.
There’s a section for selecting spices, loose tea, cooler items with a variety of drinks and more for purchase and personal use. The register section had a bakery case of fresh goods and also (YAY!)- FREE stickers.
The menu isn’t extensive, but certainly enough creativity to foster interest to any drink enthusiast. I purchased a Mocha (which I believe, comes from the local chocolate shop)and a Shroom Latte with honey and oat milk. The latte caught my interest, and I’m glad because it was SO good! No grittiness or weird aftertaste. You get the earthy flavor, but not smacked with “earth.”
This place is bookmarked on my list
