As a tea lover, I had to check out this wonderful new tea shop that has so much more to offer than…read moretea! I enjoyed browsing the mugs, teapots, and accessories. The friendly gentleman there who helped me select my teas was so knowledgeable. Fantastic customer service! The store has a system that gives tea recommendations based on your preferences for caffeine level, bestselling items, the effect/mood you're seeking, and the time of day that you want to enjoy your tea. The fragrance of the peach ice cream tea (and its name) hooked me. It is actually a black tea, but smells so fruity. I also purchased a gunpowder pearl green tea and the golden lantern blooming flower ball. I signed up for rewards and will definitely be back again. Great customer service!!

We found this little gem and we no longer go to any other tea shops aside from this one. This has…read morebecome our Sunday pitstop. I love the variety of tea options including no caffeine. The store sells unique tea blends that I haven't seen in store or online. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is a tea connoisseur. Favorite options: Iced Liberty Latte (non-caffeinated) - pictured Blueberry Lavender (non-caffeinated) Lingonberry Lemon (non-caffeinated)

I use a teaspoon of tea leaves per cup and it's rich and bold flavor is perfect on its own or with a bit of honey. They sell many accessories as well and the gift ideas are endless. I loved all the special honey blends too as that's my go to in my tea. The staff was great and helped me figure out the type of tea I would enjoy.

The staff is very helpful if you need assistance selecting the best tea for your taste or needs. My personal faves are the Moroccan Mint and the Nettle Leaf, but I haven't tried as many as I would like. You can also buy just a cup of tea to enjoy then and there if you aren't interested in taking tea home. Love the shopping center location. There is a Barnes and Noble right next door and lots of cool shops. You can pick up some tea and then take a nice little stroll to do some window shopping.

We had some time to kill and were looking for a non-chain coffee spot. This one was close by and…read morehad great reviews. So we decided to give them a try. We had a little difficulty finding it. GPS brought us to the parking lot behind the building. There isn't clear signage to direct you where to go. We managed to find our way up the stairs and into the building. There are a number of businesses located inside. Lucky Tree is super cute. It's set up to encourage working, with plenty of charging spots all around. There is a variety of seating, from long wooden tables to smaller individual areas. We ordered a chai latte and golden milk latte, both with oat milk. Both drinks were good. Fyi there is a separate entrance from the side that takes you directly to another smaller parking lot.

I decided to try this out for a quick coffee stop while in town for a conference. The service was…read morefriendly and quick! I tried the breakfast bagel bites, which were soft and warm. I loved the cheese on top! I was not a huge fan of the flavor the almond flour gave them but it was not overpowering. I would probably get them again! They had a lot of options as far as specialty lattes but I am glad I went with the Vanilla Maple. I was worried that the maple flavor would be too much but it complimented the vanilla well. The inside was VERY well decorated, and I would've loved to stay and do a little computer work! I could see myself coming by and sitting down for a quick brunch, meeting up with friends, or staying for a work session.

Yay a tea shop in Garner! After a relaxing yoga class at Zin, we walked here for tea. We were…read moregreeted upon arrival by a friendly employee who told us about the shop. Steep Right Up creates their own tea blends and sells local products (like cookies!). Samples are provided on longer days (e.g. Thurs/Fri). and at some events. There were no brewed tea samples on the day we visited, but we did receive delicious shortbread cookie samples. The shop has tables in the middle and tea blends for sale on the left and right sides of the shop. The tea products are organized well and available in various sizes. Sample containers are next to the blends if you want to smell them. These canisters also have the tea prices on them (since the individual bags are not labelled). I decided on the chocolate sampler ($25). The chocolate pu'er tea paired well with the matcha shortbread cookie ($5). Overall, we had a positive experience here and recommend this shop to others!

This shop is nestled into the small streets of DT Raleigh in a charming way, like a corner in Diagon alley. It's walking distance from a park and many eateries. We all ordered pastries and lattes, then shopped for stickers and books. There's a table near the front and some more in the back by the cafe. Fun, curated collections of books and zines that we really appreciated. My hot oat matcha latte was delicious and so was my amazing cheddar scone. The baristas and owner were incredibly nice and friendly. It set the tone for a great day in DT Raleigh.

Okay, first things first, this spot is SO cute. I did not realize that the theme was LOTR despite…read morebeing a huge LOTR fan, so it was a nice surprise when I stopped in. While there, I grabbed a latte and the Thorin breakfast biscuit. To add prosciutto it would have been an extra $3, which would have made the breakfast biscuit $9.25. Does that feel excessive? Yes. Do I wish I had done it? Also yes. The biscuit was good but it needed something else and I do think the meat would have been a good add. The latte was just okay. We're very lucky to have so many good coffee spots in the area so they are up against steep competition. Overall, really neat concept, cute spot, great for teleworking.
