Service is fast, and the waitrons are kind and helpful. Would definitely come again.

I'm excited for the next tea tastings they have to offer.

Their tea selection was huge, but what impressed me the most was the lady who works there who advised me on what tea I should pick. Usually when I'm presented with too many options, I freeze and don't know what to do, which doesn't make the experience that great. But this lady advised me so well. She recommended THE MOST DELICIOUS tea. I will forever have this tea as my favourite I suspect ;p... strongly). <br/ <br/ The interior here is also well considered. It is awesome that they have board games around for clients to play.<br/ <br/ We have not eaten here, so will keep this review unfinished until then.

Since it was a Saturday afternoon, the place was busy but we managed to get a table right at the back and were quickly helped. The tea menu is extensive and is actually longer than the lunch menu. The lunch menu has a variety of Asian dishes such as har gau, ramen noodle soup and dim sum to vegetarian friendly soy meat meatballs and burgers. So basically the array of choices means that you'll likely find something to suit your taste.<br/ <br/ We were quickly helped by the servers who were super friendly and very informative about the teas on offer. We received complimentary spicy tomato soup with vegan friendly bread which was delicious and had a nice kick to it. To eat, I ordered the har gau dumplings with stir fried vegetables and the recommended milky oolong tea. My friend had the soy meatballs and polenta chips with the recommended Malawian tea. Apart from the polenta chips, we both agreed that the food was delicious, flavorful and well presented. I was skeptical at first because I thought I would miss the meat but I really didn't because the food is so tasty! The teapots and the timers they come with are such a quirky touch and add to the tea cafe aesthetic. <br/ <br/ The ambience of the cafe is casual, cosy and family friendly. The visit was a really lovely experience and I'm hoping to go back and try more dishes!

The service is fantastic and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Claremont. The teas are delicious and reasonably priced. I will definitely be coming back to buy more tea.
