What's not to love with a high quality tea selection and complimentary asian bites! Their loose tea is well priced and some of my favorite. I've been to 2 locations and both are great.I also watched the staff handle an extremely and unnecessarily rude customer with respect and patience. She was badgering the staff repeatedly, including cursing at them, and complaining that their system of calling order numbers was disrupting her experience...totally absurd. No other customers were bothered at all by this, and it was in line with other restaurant systems. She also berated them constantly for volume in the restaurant and left no tip when she paid, plus threatened repeatedly to stop dining there. She was terribly disrespectful, but they handled it very well and made sure my experience (immediately behind this terrible customer) was still positive. Will be back a lot, and purchased 2 of their tea blends- berry and chai.
My new favorite lunch spot!!Don’t be fooled by the name of the restaurant—it’s not just teas here—there’s a good variety of food options to eat! I’ve been here three times this past month just to try a variety of their dishes and so far have not been let down. Highly recommend the “bento boxes” for lunch—it’s a huge portion with your meat option and three sides. My favorites are the Korean Beef Brisket and Panko Fried Chicken Bento Boxes! If you’re not feeling the bento box style, you can order these as “side dishes” which is a huge portion too. The Thai Chicken Curry is also delicious—tons of chicken meat and well flavored.It’s a cafe style—you order at the register, wait for your food and then bring it to your table. Food comes out fairly quick!
I looked at the menu on line and thought about the Turkey and Brie sandwich I was going to get the whole hour and a half it took to get to Farragut West. It wasn't on the current menu and, through a lack of communication, I thought I was getting a Turkey and Bacon sandwich and ended up with a Scrambled Egg sandwich with turkey bacon. It just wasn't my day. I really enjoyed the Lavender Lemon Mint Tea, though.
Had an incredible ginger lemonade and pecan cookie here. Very light mid day snack! Friendly staff
One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had ?
If you are sick of a big fancy restaurant that takes two hours and costs a lot and you have to get dressed up, this is perfect. The food is great. We were in town for a week and ate here four times and it was our favorite. Limeade with ginger.
Super friendly staff, delicious food and drinks, and great views of Lafayette Park!
Had great vegetarian/vegan options and delicious tea
What a great place to eat breakfast while visiting DC !!
The girl that served up was very polite. The place is very very clean. We got some cookies and tea. They were excellent.
