How wonderful to discover this local tea house in the community!…read more I first visited here because of an event that was being hosted. Sampled one of their teas, Apricot Brandy, and it was amazing! My second visit was for a Japanese culture class. Another wonderful experience shared with many along with delicious tea. First floor is cozy with plenty of nooks to sit and be comfortable. I see patrons working, reading or crafting enjoying a drink or a pastry the establishment offers. You can also purchase loose leaf tea they serve as well as their branded merchandise along with local designers. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and I am looking forward to many more visits to the Philosopher's House.

It is a place to gather with like-minded people, expand your horizons and just relax. I recently attended a Japanese sushi class making, it was a blast!

I drove here in late April 2024 for a quick stop. The campus is a pleasant mid-point stop to…read morestretch your legs if you're driving between Asheville, NC and Abingdon, VA. After a quick restroom break at the local BP gas station (which has tons of students), I drove onto campus and parked in front of the main administrative building with a memorial bell tower. There's a nice historical marker on the early days of ETSU - which is a public university. The main campus felt surprisingly empty on a Sunday afternoon, but perhaps students were studying for their final exams and completing final papers in their dorm rooms or in the library before May graduation. Although I did not do a formal campus visit, the grounds are pretty and worth a quick visit if you're driving through Johnson City TN and looking for a short pit stop.

Where do I even begin with this one. East Tennessee State University is a wonderful College. It…read moregives so many opportunities to students as well for them to have fun and feel like they're at home. Whether it's Clubs, events, or the like, you'll find it here. As a full disclaimer, I'm not a student here. I visit ETSU Campus every Thursday night with my friend who shows up for is CRU Meeting. This place doesn't just feel like home for students. It feels like home for non students as well. It's just that welcoming. But one of the absolute biggest high points of this campus is, it's the home of ETSU-Con. For those of you who don't know what ETSU-Con is, it's a Anime/Gaming convention held on ETSU Campus itself. They have panels, cosplayers, and even a yearly Costume Contest. But instead of blabbing on and on about ETSU-Con, why don't I just show you what it's like?

Great staff. Always helpful. Best coffee, better than Starbucks! Favorite store for sure.read more

I love bookstores. And I love this one…read more The coffee shop is open again and the staff are always super helpful. The only thing I have against BAM is that it's corporate. But, to offset my personal grievance, they buy back books, sell used books, and even if something is out of stock, they can order it for me and either send it to my address or hold it for pickup. That's pretty good. They can check, with accuracy, what's in stock. There was one weird time when a clerk couldn't find a common reference book (APA manual), but that's not something everyone uses or knows about, right? They could use more comfortable seating around the store, but it still FEELS like a bookstore and I dig that. Kitschy nerd shirts and clothing, Fandom figures and trappings, and a huge periodical section for enthusiasts of all stripes.
