Loved their menu as well. Although their mini cakes and other treats appealed to me as well, I opted to try their Taro Shaved Ice (they had 2 other flavors as well...think Mango and Mocha?). Well, their Taro Shaved Ice was PERFECT!!! The shaved ice was nice and dry, and the toppings (Boba, Lychee jelly, and Strawberries...even whipped cream on top) were generous and delicious! LOVED the place...and I can't wait to return! My husband will absolutely loved their version of Shaved Ice...What a treat to come!

It's spacious but still manages to feel cozy and charming at the same time. The vibe is adorable and a little hard to pin down. It feels like a mix between English tea time elegance and a bit of Spanish flair. It's unique and really something you just have to experience in person. I ordered the fancy carrot cake and it was exactly what a classic carrot cake should be. The flavor profile was spot on. Not overly sweet, not bland, just perfectly balanced with that warm spiced carrot cake taste. Paired with a cortado, it made the perfect little caffeine and sweet tooth moment. A great stop if you're wandering around Asheville and want a cozy place to sit with coffee and dessert.

It was disappointing to find out while I was ordering AND reading their menu at the register that said they do have it. Apparently, I happened to pick up the one menu they forgot to update. Server was a bit unfriendly when I asked for it. I went to Chai Milk Tea instead - It was delicious, so I wasn't annoyed any more. The ambiance is immaculate. Well decorated and beautiful - Even the bathroom was gorgeous. The entire place smelled wonderful. It's a perfectly cute spot to spend lazy afternoons sipping on delish drinks. I personally felt the drinks were pricey for what I got, but it was good experience overall.

It's a great spot to read a book at or come to with a friend. The people who work here are really social and kind. My best friend and I were in town and wanting a little afternoon treat. I'm blanking on the name, but I really enjoyed their new watermelon coconut iced tea. My best friend got a butterfly pea iced tea. There is plenty of seating available. If you want more natural lighting you can sit at the front with chair and tables. If you want something more moody and intimate in the back they have lower tables and pillows for a more traditional tea experience. I highly recommend checking this spot out.

I personally really liked the traditional chai (it was very strongly spiced but was delish) I also loved the shop/ tea house aesthetic of traditional floor seating in the back and American seating in the front with regular tables. We had shoes off and sat on the floor. The food was delicious too. We got hummus and some other dip I cannot remember the name of. Service was good although our order was kind of messed up and half forgotten (was waiting for our hummus and had to go back up to ask about it). I will say I was pretty frustrated with the sizes of the food given. We got a hummus and only got four small pieces of bread to go with it. We had so much hummus left and no bread that we ended up having to go back up and buy more. I also was given what felt like the equivalent of 3 teaspoons of honey for a whole pot of chai tea. We went up and got more but I just feel like it's a bit stingy / skimpy I'd recommend coming in and checking it out. Next time I'd love to do more research on types of teas as many were unfamiliar to me

The place looked to be in decent shape, though like much of the region they had water quality concerns that limited what they could do. Upon asking, I discerned that despite the rebrand, they were still offering boba tea in addition to coffee. The tulsi-flavored tea I got was not overly sweet, but the generous popping boba made for enough of a sugar rush. They had a few baked goods. I suspect that operations will improve as the city rebuilds.

The photographs of bondage and words like "slut" are not what I want to look at with my child when I am sipping a coffee. Staff were complaining about pay and customers while I sat and sipped. Also not great. I've worked service industry jobs, we all have complaints, but maybe don't yell about it over the espresso machine to another co-worker who is sitting on the couch. Unprofessional, uncomfortable. Those are words I would use to describe this place. Would've been cool to see books there that were not fantasy. Seems like a pretty exclusive place, catering to people who like anime, bondage, and talking crap. Pretty unfortunate because the place is cute. Won't be returning.

At first I was overwhelmed with the options, but the lady at the counter was nice and helpful with recommendations. We were bummed to have missed out on the lunch since the kitchen closes at 3pm, but that made us even more eager to come back at another time. Both dessert options we chose - the S'mores Tart and Black Sesame Ginger Cake - were delicious! I chose the masala tea with rooibos with oat milk and honey. I loved the way it was served, and even though I usually drink my tea straight, it was fun to experiment with the milk and honey.

Visting beautiful Asheville but craving asian food: big mistake! I stumbled on this Thai place…read morethinking: how could it hurt to get a little fix? Here we go. Drunken noodle is a standard for Thai, and it is very easy to cook. They failed this standard dish and instead I got some kind of saucy-tangy drunken noodle - I believe it was made from a ready-made powder since it tasted chalky somehow. Positives: the meat, noodle, and basil were fresh. The server was attentive and the place was clean - not enough to save the day. I speculate this place is like most second rate ethnic places: Chinese made sushi, Mexican made italian, Laotian made Thai. It somehow does not work.
