They have an upstairs seating and asked if we wanted to sit there, but I didn't want to deal with my kids up the stairs haha We were sat in a booth towards the back. The place could use a dusting, but I enjoyed the fact that this used to be another restaurant and they changed the name to be the same but backwards. From the minute we walked in, everyone was friendly and helpful. There was a salad bar, but none of us decided to get that. We got the onion rings for appetizer which they are apparently known for. They didn't disappoint. The onions were cooked perfectly and the outside was crispy but not hard. The pizza was pretty good. Loved the flavors. Nothing to brag about the kids Mac and cheese. It was a typical Kraft made. My 12 year old son got the BBQ wings and he wasn't thrilled with them. Kind of dry. If you are in the area, give them a try.

It has the cutest little white picket fence. You walk in and are absorbed by different teas, spices, and herbs. And not in a teavana way, this place is so welcoming, like your grandmas house. They had some really awesome, hard to find and unique spices, like myrrh. They also had a TON of brands of tea, different styles, something for everyone. They had a separate room for tea. Pretty much, you can pick anything you want and they'll make a fresh cup for you right there. My fiancé was in love. They sold all the tea accessories, like matcha bowls and whisks, strainers, mugs. Everything you can think of. And then, in the mix of this, is art and antiques. Delicately placed, almost like it was all meant to be there, but you can buy it all. And some cute items too, including some beautiful furniture. We could have hung out for hours here, it's so cool and unique. Highly recommend a stop in.

The egg bites were cold and had a weird texture. The flavor was off too. The other bakery item we got was supposed to be one flavor of a turnover and it ended up being a cherry turnover. Which would have been fine had it also not been cold, dry and flavorless. I would definitely recommend putting them on different trays to tell them apart. On to the coffee... I got a White chocolate macadamia which was tolerable because it just tasted like white mocha with a hint of nutty. Nothing special. I chose a French Madeline for my husbands drink because the way the ladies described it was something he would have liked. However, it was terrible. The flavor was not there at all. We couldn't even finish. The place looks very nice and clean. It has a welcoming feel that makes you want to sit and stay. The girls working were nice. I guess try this place out for yourself... maybe we hacen on a bad day?
