With the exception of one employee some time ago who left to become a teacher and was breathtakingly rude toward the end of her tenure, the staff has been helpful and informative. My recent experiences are not good. One day, I asked a staff member what her favorite tea was and she introduced me to milk oolong which was the best tea I've ever drunk. They ran out of it shortly later and I was told they might not order more because it was expensive. The employee did put my name on a waiting list and several months later the owner called me and told me it was available. I knew there was a waiting list for this tea and, to be considerate, I asked how much it was okay for me to buy. In a gaspingly rude tone, like it was a stupid question, the owner said, "Well, I have 2.2 lbs in all three stores. It's $11 (something) an ounce." I said I'd like 3 ounces. It was well into the afternoon and I said I couldn't make it down until the next day. In a tone that reminded me of a kindergarten teacher chastising a naughty child, she told me and then repeated herself a couple of times that the tea would not be held for more than 24 hours. I thought this was very odd. I would never wait for months for a tea and then not go pick it up. Also, I have a good customer discount card because I shopped there often and there was no reason to think I wasn't going to pick it up because I couldn't make it there in the 3 or 4 hours before the store closed for the day. I found her quite demeaning. I went down the next day to pick up the tea. A polite young woman found the bag with my name on it but then the owner's daughter came out from the back. She said her mother had told her I had ordered both 2 ounces and 3 ounces so they had just packaged me up 2 ounces. I said I had ordered 3 ounces and had not at any point ordered 2 ounces. The owner's daughter repeated that her mother had said I had ordered both 2 ounces and 3 ounces - as though what I had just said was not even worth acknowledging. Clearly, her mother had forgotten what I said and instead of calling and asking how many ounces I had ordered, she packaged it incorrectly and blamed me. There was no apology for getting the order wrong and making me wait while they unpackaged and repackaged the tea. The daughter did not acknowledge my 2nd remark about ordering 3 ounces. It seemed almost like she was accusing me of lying. I'm not saying I'll never go back because I'm really partial to their almond tea. (They sold out of the milk oolong in less than a month and there doesn't appear to be a specific plan of getting more.) For the present, though, I'm buying my tea from an excellent selection of several tea stores online.

I was recommended for it by an acquaintance and I was in the mood to do some incense stick shopping a few weekends ago so I finally paid my first visit there. What a cute place! I love it! There is all kinds of spiritual or metaphysical items and some things that are there just for the sheer fun of it. They did not disappoint in having a good variety of incense and Steve bought an absolutely beautiful reflective Crescent Moon incense holder. It's so beautiful I am almost afraid to use it. They have a great tea and book section and all kinds of candles. But the thing that was a real extra bonus was their chocolate section. They have a small counter in which you can pick chocolates from out of the case. We each bought an espresso chocolate and a coconut chocolate and they were so good! I don't know the back story with the chocolates but it wouldn't surprise me if the owner made them themselves. The chocolates are certainly local for sure and not associated with any large candy company. A really fun and rewarding stop! I will have to make more deliberate points to go here. If nothing else a quick stop for more of those chocolates!

They have a gift store in the back which had a wide variety of things to look at. The restroom is in the very back in the gift shop area and it was so cute that I had to take a picture. When we sat down, we started with a sparkling cider before deciding on our tea. They had a nice selection of teas. I had their Hawaiian themed menu as is while my friend had a vegetarian version. They were very accommodating. I cannot recall everything that we had but I can say the soup, macadamia cookies, the chicken salad sandwich with peanuts, and the bacon wrapped pineapple were all delicious. There was so much food we ended up taking more than half home after tasting everything of course.

We came 30 minutes after they opened and their cake selection was not ready yet unfortunately. If you want the full menu come a few hours after opening. The prices for the tiered menu is a little wild for me. However, their prices for the regular food and drinks are reasonable. The sandwich was delicious, and a very good size to split. However they do charge a $2 sharing fee which i find silly when places do this. Their drinks were also very yummy and the caramel latte had a cute caramel swirl on the foam. The table placements are so gorgeous and just a lovely vibe overall. I do wish there was maybe a wall barrier or divider from the cafe and the shop because it does feel very cluttered and compact. The customer service is AMAZING. They have such kind people working. I called in to make a reservation and the lady that picked up was so kind and patient explaining all the levels of the services. The baristas were so so sweet and easy to talk with. Genuinely the best customer service i have ever had at a cafe.

Another bonus is that it is right next to a cute, fenced in playground so it's a good spot to stop before taking your kiddos to burn some energy. There's only been a few "off" instances with them and it's always been delivery. A couple of times I've received the wrong type of milk and once I received the entire wrong order. When you're ordering your coffee for delivery and you're waiting so excitedly and it gets delivered wrong... Always a bummer, but not the end of the world. That said, in person the drinks are always on point. Every single year they are the first stand that I see that offers eggnog lattes - I LOOOOVE eggnog lattes and their iced eggnog lattes are my favorite espresso drink EVER. They usually have them in early October and they always put up a sign near their stand which is my sign to stop on in.
