Overall, the session received participation from most in attendance. For the small fee, each attendee received a pot of tea of their choice. You get to select from the myriad of vintage tea cups to drink your tea. I noticed the unique tea pots used to serve each of us. The staff member was very helpful in helping me make a decision. My tea was okay. It didn't have caffeine so I enjoyed one cup. It was served with biscotti (I believe) that went well with the hot tea. I had hoped to be more inspired to journal on a daily basis, but that hasn't happened.

As much as I want to drop 5 stars, there were just too many things that felt amiss. For one, I didn't get their "to-go" packaging...even for dine-in customers. It's as if they didn't want customers to dine in...despite the nice (ish?) decor. Reminded me of a recent experience at bb.q Chicken. What's up with all these restaurants with cheap "to-go" packaging? Guess more places are now going for a fast food eatery vibe...versus a nicer restaurant-cafe. Despite being somewhat nice, the place had a flat vibe. Something was missing...possibly some music? The service was also missing. The cashier was just not friendly at all. In fact, he looked pissed off for some reason. As much as I enjoyed the foods, I just felt that they could have done better. Luckily, the foods were good enough to merit 4 stars.

The drink has a nice creaminess and isn't too sweet or bitter. Other drinks: 1/1. Good variety of milk teas, fruit teas, pure teas, and non-caffeinated drinks. There are even mochi waffles and rolled ice creams. Ambiance: 1/1. Nicely decorated space with a good number of tables and chairs for seating. Good place to work! Service: 1/1.

We even made it a mini date since we recently became parents, which made the outing special for us. The order took a while to prepare, even though the restaurant wasn't crowded. When we received our food, the packaging seemed small, but I stayed optimistic. Unfortunately, once I opened my sandwich, I was disappointed. The portion of meat was very small, and the bread was quite thin. While the flavor was there, the portion size didn't meet our expectations. We also ordered a vanilla latte, which was very good and definitely a highlight. I would still recommend this place to family and friends, but I'd be sure to let them know that the sandwich portions are smaller than what we're used to at similar restaurants.

She was very nice on the phone and I really appreciated the extra care. I also ordered the tofu banh mi and it was perfection!!! So so so good!! I would definitely check this spot out again.

It wasn't until yesterday that I went to the shop with her to see for myself. From the outside, you see a house and there are three shops inside. The Uptown Tea Shop is in a medium size bedroom which has been converted to a little store. Here against the walls are nearly every flavor and types of loose leaf teas you can imagine. I typically like herbal teas and caffeine free teas and finding something new was fairly easy. There are also tea accessories such as canisters to keep your teas fresh. The prices I found to be inline with the quality of the teas. The customer service associate was polite, helpful and welcoming; needless to say I will be supporting this small business in the future.

On the afternoon/evening of 8/4/25 my husband and I came in. We ordered rose bubble tea, and lavender bubble tea, both large, oat milk, double boba. The second we came in we saw the girl peak her head out and rolled her eyes. "What do you want." With no energy and heavy attitude. I was polite and said my order. And she seemed upset about something on her mind. We decided to tip her I think 15-18% to see if it would make her happy or brighten her day. She didn't say thank you and she just turned around and walked away. I was not expecting her to say thank you for the tip, but I was expecting her to say thank you or your order will be out soon as a customer service note. There was another guy behind the counter/curtain and he mentioned something which made her go. "Oh well it's too late now, and then she shrugged her shoulders. " and we heard that as we left the building. Got home and within about 20 minutes my husband and I threw up. I have no idea what happened to these drinks, as the curtains are closed behind the counter. I no longer trust this place to make me SAFE food.

We had 6 in total for our party. I love the number of options that they have to offer and am glad they also had a variety of food. The wait staff was friendly and patient with the questions we had about our order. We did have to wait a while for our order of 7 deinks and 7 food items. The drinks came out first, then the ramen and then the noodles and rice. The drinks were delicious, and the galaxy teas were so pretty!! It was definitely difficult to select just one option to try. If you go with a large party and they're willing to share, I would definitely recommend going that route!! A must try spot if you're in the area.
