Discovered this place when we considered moving into the area. We ended up moving somewhere else,…read morebut I still wanted to come back at some point and I'm glad we did. Came in right after opening and it was only us and the two workers who took our order and made everything. Loved the cottagecore vibes. Couldn't believe how large a menu such a small place had. Plus that weekly specials board. Everything we had was excellent and we absolutely be coming back.

Whale Tea has a beautiful ambiance with great whale plushies and decor. However, our drinks were…read morehardly palatable. We got a hot taro drink and I heard the milk being microwaved behind where we were sitting. The taro was extremely artificial and difficult to drink through the straw. Unfortunately, after a few sips, it went in the trash. The second drink was another non caffeinated option. I liked the coconut milk, but wasn't sure about the rest of the drink. The jellies were interesting and the flavor... indescribable. I finished this drink though. I liked the ambiance but wish I could get a refund for this drink order.

Ordered the basic brown sugar milk tea to try this bubble tea location. I ordered less ice, and…read morenext time I would order cold with no ice because the ice is overwhelming. 50% sugar was the perfect choice for this drink! It was delicious, filling, and perfect. It's quiet and seems to be a hotspot for students hanging out and studying. We received our drinks quickly as well. My husband ordered a strawberry slush because he doesn't like boba; he wasn't aware his drink would have boba included. At first, he was shocked when he discovered the boba, but he was pleasantly surprised when the boba popped. He said he actually enjoyed the flavor unlike previous boba attempts. We will definitely return if in the area.

Met some friends here and sat by the fireplace, the space was cozy, though it is pretty tight and…read morethe line was out the door when I visited. I like my coffee sweet, so the self-service bar was perfect for customizing. Somewhere they say this is the #1 coffee in the state... I'm not so sure. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but you can tell it has a loyal crowd!

All about the vibes in here, the place is filled with CT memorabilia and Naugatuck HS year books…read morewhich was super cool to see esp since I have many friends that went there. The interior is modern rustic with a twist of bohemian indie style. There are so many things to look at and be entertained by. The seating options are great and comfy. The service was quick, sweet, spunky, and helpful. I got a frozen matcha with the suggested cheesecake blackberry flavor via the barista and it didn't disappoint. I haven't tried any of their readily available pastries in their display case but I know I will one day. My matcha was around nine dollars, which is what I'd expect from a privately locally owned place like this. Worth it though, esp if you're hanging out for awhile and like great quality. I can see myself coming back one morning and hanging out with someone here. Also, HUGE fan of punk rock so blink 182 in the background is making me stay here until I have to go to my eye doctor appointment around the corner. I feel totally in my element. I'll be back, thanks loaded goat !

So happy I decided to stop in! I ordered a post workout shake and was surprised by all the choices…read morethey had! You can add things to your shake as well. They have vegan options available as well! They have energizing tea's, shakes, even offer baked protein goods! Was greeted as soon as I walked in and everyone was very friendly and answered any question I had perfectly. A very welcoming feel here. I can't wait to come back to try some of the tea's!

I really want to love this place because of all the great sounding options but it's just too sweet for my liking and the prices are really high.

Service was subpar and the two drinks we got, Hong Kong MT and Thai Tea were extremely watered down but the boba was good though! I wouldn't come here again unless I was dying of dehydration.

My friend and I were in the area and wanted to pick up some tea before walking around. I was…read moreintrigued by the ingredients which included black sesame, ginger, ube, Pandan, and red bean. I decided to get a black sesame ginger latte with boba. I got it cold with half level of sweetness as recommended by the staff. The sesame flavor was satisfyingly strong. There was just a touch of ginger flavor creating a unique well balanced infusion. Boba had a nice soft texture that was appropriate for this drink, although not the softest boba that I've come across. The shop also offered several options for Vietnamese coffee including variations like coconut. There were a few tables with seats available to enjoy the drinks inside and a plant covered wall with a neon sign (For my bes tea) for photo-ops. The store is cash free, credit card only. The best way to pay is actually through the Snackpass app where you can earn a free drink after a certain amount of purchases. I'll definitely stop by here the next time to try more!

I finally had the absolute pleasure of visiting Crossroads recently. What an outstanding place…read more Super awesome, cool and friendly owner/staff. Inviting comfy space. So far, I have only tried the one latte, the jasmine peach latte, which had peach puree, house made jasmine syrup, house made white tea cold foam and dried peaches. It was probably the best latte I have ever had. While their specialty drinks are only available small & medium, their sizes are 16 oz, 20 oz, 24 oz, so the small is actually the equivalent of some shops' large. I have only heard good things about their baked goods/pastries and they both looked and sounded amazing. I can't wait to try one hopefully very soon! Overall it was as close to a perfect experience as you get. Must try for sure. Immediate top spot for me.

Recently obsessed with this local coffee joint. Been spending the week in North Haven checking out…read moresome spots. Super cozy place, eco friendly with some of the best coffee/matcha. Friendly service at the counter, few tables inside to lounge at. My wife and I frequent the Last Drop in Monroe and this is ultra comparable. Very good pricing and kudos to them for using and making homemade syrups! I am a matcha guy so I get an iced matcha latte with vanilla cream cold brew. My wife has had the special Cherry Cold Brew which sells out quick and some lattes with cinnamon brown sugar, fantastic. I vow to get there early enough one of these days to try their blueberry muffins, always sells out quick. They have a host of other pastries as well, you are missing out if you don't try this place.

Employees are very kind & appreciative of the business, but it takes 6+ minutes for each car to order & receive their drink, which is a lot when I know at least my order is just one coffee and the shop is never busy.

Cute place with very nice decor. We had a good service experience. Unfortunately the food was not…read morevery good. The scones were dry, borderline stale. The egg salad didn't have much flavor. The grilled cheese was probably the best item of the bunch. The banana pudding was also pretty good but the pecan pie was burnt and the laminated cake was dry again borderline stale. I also thought the mocktails were awful - flavored seltzer but missing the flavor. The tea itself was decent but not good enough for a return trip.

Then, wouldn't you know, I'm walking around Seymour, CT and spied the other Tea with Tracy. I didn't eat food, but I did order a hot tea to drink. The Louisa May Alcott from the Author's series. Very good. The shop was nice, but it wasn't quite as nice as the Oxford shop was. The tea product offerings seemed similar though. I've still never done an afternoon tea, but it's on my list. 4.25 Stars
