Ilana is incredibly knowledgable and sources some of the best teas I've had. Most people will recommend the amazing matcha latte , but for a real treat try some milk oolong or turmeric ginger tisane.

Tea For Me Please

An adorable place to grab a pot of tea . They have a wide selection and the staff is great. Word to the wise, find a potty spot before you go since they don't have a restroom . Read more

Untapped Cities

The tea room is slightly below ground level, which elicits a quiet-getaway atmosphere. Grab a cup of organic tea while you sit back against GraffiTea’s exposed brick wall or beneath their tree mural . Read more

Great tea shop for newbie tea drinker. No AC so save tea times for fall/winter. Ample selection for in-store sips or take-home loose leaf .

This place is amazing! A cozy place to have a cup of delicious tea . The owner is super sweet and knowledgeable and they have a huge selection!!

Pedro Guedes

The café is located in the infamous “Physical Graffiti ” building of Led Zeppelin’s sixth studio album. The tea room is slightly below ground level, which elicits a quiet-getaway atmosphere.

Rude staff there. My friend and I would've liked to enjoy this place but the person who was working was so incredibly rude to us that we walked out before we even ordered. Avoid this place.

Elaine

Super enthusiastic and friendly , knowledgeable about all their teas .

Chris Gampat

<3 that’s all I need to say!

Bram Hubbell

Anything! Smell the teas !

Charles Johnson

Pay with your phone using LevelUp and look like youre from the future!

Staff told me to stop playing stupid when I asked how long the shop had been there and for a card with their hours. No idea why. So rude. Bad way to talk to a would-be regular. Skip this place.

Don't expect cute teatime pastries . Or any food at all, actually.

Sanjay Sharma
