This place is truly unique -- unlike anything else in the area. The rosebuds are my favorite, but there's a huge and diverse selection to explore, so there's always something new to try. You can enjoy a relaxing cup of tea, pair it with a refreshing seaweed salad, and even play a game of mahjong while you're there. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for anyone who appreciates quality tea and a cozy, culturally rich atmosphere.

There's a ton of options to choose from, whether that be iced or hot tea and varying degrees of sweetness. When I initially walked in, I did immediately regret it because of the size of the line and anticipation that I would not be able to find a place to sit. It ended up moving pretty quickly and being worth it, but it is note worthy the volume of people that were in there. Despite this, I was able to find a seat almost immediately after getting my drink because the sheer volume of seating is rather misleading from the outside. If I lived close to a Scented Leaf, I would definitely be in attendance more because of this experience. It's like Pokémon and I want to catch all the flavors on a rather sizable menu.

Though I no longer live here, they are one of my favorite places to visit when I'm back in town. Their cactus candy tea is my favorite, though I've never ordered a drink from them that I didn't like. They also have a great refill system. You can return back on the same day and get a second refill for $2-$3 and a third refill for free, such a great value! They also sell a variety of loose leaf teas to take home if you want something at home to remember them by like I do. Thanks to everyone at The Scented Leaf for making every visit an amazing one!

Right at the entrance there's a cool yellow Honda bike and the space is split with one wall having mirrors and unique lighting, while the other has a bright neon sign with the business name. I had never tried taiyaki ice cream before but the employee who took our order was incredibly kind and patient while we figured everything out. I ended up choosing the dulce de leche taiyaki and it was delicious! For anyone unfamiliar, taiyaki is a fish-shaped pastry that works like a cone but it's soft and fluffy almost like a waffle or pancake. The ordering process is simple, you choose your base (I picked taiyaki), then a filling (Nutella or custard), an ice cream flavor and up to three toppings. They also offer pre-made combos if you don't want to build your own. Overall, Tea Leaf and Creamery is a fun, unique spot for some really tasty ice cream. Highly recommend!

I recently went to a K-pop event there with my daughter and it was SO fun -- local small vendors, Korean culture awareness, community vibes, music, and just great energy all around. Love love love this spot.

Always stop in if you want bubble tea aka boba tea…read more You can order at the counter, side kiosk if you don't want to wait in line or via online app like DoorDash. I enjoy coming here weekly! My favorite flavors are their milk teas, especially the Hokkaido and Okinawa. Hokkaido has a little more of a nutty flavor compared to the Okinawa. And I love that you can customize sweetness and ice level. There's a lot of seating and parking at this location, the OG, compared to their Campbell location. They also offer fruit teas, smoothies, slushies, etc. and if you are interested in tattoo, just FYI it's tall, fresh taro root, not just the flavored powder so it's different and a little gritty if you're not used to it. Always come in if you're at all thinking about it!

The staff was nice and they explained everything they had, which is a lot. I opted for their cold brew but I think their matcha is where it's at. I never had matcha but everyone in there were ordering them and they looked fantastic. They were made to order which I know is a good thing. The coffee was good I would order again but it wasn't life changing. What was amazing beyond belief was their pastries, they said they were all made fresh daily and they had everything from sweet to savory and all looked great. A few things that caught my eye specifically were their Egg Tarts, Custard Donuts, and their Kanafeh. I opted for the Kanafeh because you don't see this anywhere really. The Kanafeh was all that it should be. It was crispy, had a mild cheese in the center and the bottom was soaked with a honey syrup. It was topped with pistachios which added some salt to it and some crunch. I would go back just for this. I think this place is a must stop!

The interior invites you to take a picture, the music is loud, it just appears to be catered to a very particular demographic. Evidently, that is not me, and that's okay! I ordered the banana cream matcha latte at recommendation from someone who's visited before with the matcha tiramisu. In the latte, I was hoping for a more flavorful banana cream. It had a nice finish and was very smooth, but I wouldn't have been able to guess it being flavored if I hadn't known. Both items were made from high quality matcha, so expect the steep price tag associated. Combined with the baristas being unable to differentiate between drink orders at the end of their bar, I wasn't really amazed given the reputation Brucha has. Maybe I didn't even receive my drink, and the above is all unfounded, but I won't be figuring that out anytime soon.
