Love this little gem! It's tucked away in a small strip of shops and my GPS weirdly routed me through the back alley, so ignore that if yours does too. Just turn in the entrance to the shopping center on Bell (old 183). The unassuming exterior was so misleading...this place is SO peaceful and charming inside. I was stunned at how well they've renovated the space. The seating options were plenty and all super comfortable and cute. They have a huge shelf along one wall with different teas and accessories for purchase, and the staff at the order counter greeted us and were so friendly, walking us through the process and making sure we were well taken care of. I had originally planned to grab a quick to-go drink because my five year old was with me, but she was also equally charmed and wanted to stay so we indulged in a hot Spicy Masala Chai tea and a ham and cheddar scone. They truly had milk options for everyone, as well as four sweeteners and local honey on the tables. My daughter was thrilled when I let her pick my teacup I was served from the selection on the shelf. Please note that because the service here is top notch, even a single cup of tea will have a wait. They serve parties in the order they arrive and bring the whole order out on a tea cart and serve your party, so it's well worth the wait. We felt so fancy for our little mother-daughter date. The napkins were amazing quality, and the spoon for my tea was so pretty. Even the toilet paper in the bathroom was so luxurious! They really go all out here to make your visir a treat. On top of that, the scone was soooo buttery delicious that I'm still thinking about it, and same with the spicy masala chai! So glad we have a legit tea shop in town at last!! PS-they also host occasional afternoon tea, and the current price is $45, which is a steal for rhe Austin area! read more
