Won?t be last. This place is so cute and clean inside and charming outside. I?m not a huge tea drinker but enjoyed mango tea, with a tropical-inspired panini, and both were delicious. The chef would brought our lunches out was friendlyand accommodating. The gelato flavors were many and equally tasty. This is a neighborhood gem. I?ll go back for sure.

While it appears to be mainly a tea shop with retail sales and the like, they also feature a very nice menu for breakfasts and lunches. We cameacross it pretty much accidentally while looking around for places nearby. The only sign that this is some sort of retailestablishment is the outdoor sign, so be on the lookout for it, or you will miss it. Either that, or use your GPS to find it.The interior is bright, airy and cheerful with lots of tongue in cheek posters revolving on the tea theme. There is both indoorand outside seating. What you do is grab one of their menus, decide on your drink, food, or both. Provide your order at thecounter and pay for it. They give you a little metal number and deliver your order to your table. On weekends, their menu ismuch more limited than their weekday menu which I found to be backwards, but that?s the way they operate. We tried threedifferent Panini sandwiches as well as two iced teas since it was hot on the day we visited. We also stayed indoors as it wasair conditioned! Drinks were delivered by one of the women who took our order while the food was delivered by Guido ? who wasworking the kitchen. We tried the Roasted veggie, Salami, and Turkey Paninis. Two of them with their sides of chips and one ofthem with their house salad. All were very tasty. There was no choice of dressing for the salad and while it was overdressed,the dressing was quite good. Total bill for the three sandwiches and two iced teas was $44. They also offer gelatos andpastries. In addition, look carefully around you. There are surprised hidden in all kinds of unexpected places! :
