    I've watched downtown McKinney go from an almost vacant " used to be" thriving small town to a…read morebooming tourist draw. It's gaining momentum and I'm not always a fan. Some tourist centric shops have popped up with everything Texas stuff, to send back to California ( that's humor) as well as places like Spice and Tea Merchants that ride the blurry line between tourist and useful buy. Out of interest I stopped in primarily because I respected the fantastic historic building restoration they occupy. It's over the top excellent. Once I got inside and being a cook, I could not help but be attracted to the multitude of prepackaged spices. One in particular jumped out at me. I had eaten at a restaurant in Austin years ago and was enamored with my entres flavors. Inquiring to the chef, he let me know it was aleppo chili I was tasting. All these years latter it jumped out at me at Spice and Tea Merchants and I had to buy. Along with a few other spice mixes and a couple of teas,I left a happy camper. Proves you can't judge a book by its cover. The clerk was helpful,the place is pleasant and prices aren't too bad. I recommend you Go!

The employees appeared to be whispering and laughing amongst themselves, which made the environment uncomfortable and unwelcoming. When I finally received help, there was little effort made to explain the teas or provide customer guidance. Overall, the customer service did not feel welcoming.

    I stopped in around 1 p.m. on a weekday (Wednesday) to check out Pattea Lou's Tea Room. I know…read moreafternoon tea here typically requires a reservation, but I decided to stop by anyway and order a few items à la carte. There was one larger party inside when I arrived, but otherwise the tea room was pretty quiet. The employee working the front counter was incredibly kind and welcoming. She offered great recommendations and even showed me the tea sample racks so I could smell the different blends and learn about their flavor notes (fruity, earthy, etc.). After sampling a few options, I decided on the apricot peach tea for its fruity profile. For food, I ordered the cranberry orange scone and a pesto, tomato, and cheese panini, along with the apricot peach tea. The tea can be served hot or iced, and since it was about 80 degrees outside, I went with iced. Everything came out to around $20 before tip. After paying, I was told to grab any seat and they would bring the food out when it was ready. My sandwich came out first and was delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised that it came with a bag of chips, and I got to pick one from the selection at the counter. The décor is very much inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, with colorful murals and whimsical artwork throughout the space. The back room was especially charming, with elegant chandeliers and a storybook-like atmosphere. Since it wasn't busy during my visit, I really had the chance to take in all the thoughtful details in the design. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and a great spot for tea, light bites, and a relaxing atmosphere. I'd definitely return!

    I came here recently with my friend for their blooms and brews event. We appreciated how affordable…read morethe event was. We sat in the main area and got to pick our own bouquet. There was ribbon, paper to wrap the bouquet if you didn't bring a vase. In addition, you got to choose your tea at the event. I went with the English breakfast tea which I enjoyed with cream and honey. Patti, the owner was kind, welcoming and checked up on us throughout the night. The atmosphere was lively, calm and I enjoyed the live music. I ordered a blueberry scone which came with a delicious citrus smear. Patti mentioned there will be more events throughout the summer/fall, so we will be looking forward to our next visit.
