    Trendy & cozy hidden in the back walking area off the busy streets. Specialty teas & deserts, including gluten free! Treasures for gifts and much more! Friendly and helpful in creating a specialty blend just for you! Private restrooms for customers! Sofas, bench seating join the quiet & quaint feeling. A few blocks away from Wayne State University.

    Atmosphere is nice and calming. I tried their mushroom latte, and it does taste like a cold brew coffee. The scone was also good, could have been heated up a tad bit more, but overall it was excellent. If you are a coffee drinker you should try out the mushroom latte. I promise you it doesn’t taste like mushrooms.

    One of my favorite small tea places in Metro-Detroit with all of its unique blends you'll get a bang for your buck with every order. Tea is ordered in 18 oz or 20 oz with various latte options as well. With it's extensive tea catalog you'll find flavor profiles you've never encountered! Highly recommend. Someone was looking for stevia and couldn't find it along with no tea snack there when I've come but it's super fun!!!

    No ear buds needed! Nice spot for those wanting a place where you can actually read a book in peace without the normal distractions and volume of most coffee/tea spots in the area. Tea is brought to you and steeped properly. Couldn't ask for anything more in a place like this.

    Nice tea place with chill vibes and amazing tea selections. Higher prices on the pastries- per cafe usual.

    Locally owned, cozy tea cafe. The employees are very knowledgeable about their products. You can purchase just a cup, buy in bulk, or do a tasting with a group.

    This has a creepy basement feel, dark and cold with no comforts. It is in the lower section of the plaza, you enter by going down a few stairs, so there are very few windows and natural light. I was greeted when I walked in and shown the tea selection of what I narrowed my choices down to. The service was great and helpful. The herbal tea I ordered was the locally grown Michigan lavender tea. It was extremely bitter and I needed to add a sweetener before I could really drink it.

    Really nice space to study/work. Friendly employees. I ordered the turmeric latte with almond milk and can highly recommend. Clean individual restroom that requires a key.

    Such great tea and atmosphere here. The staff was really helpful with picking out tea. It was property brewed and served in such a cute pot and cup. Delicious. Eco-friendly. Beautiful. Definitely coming back.

    Such a cute, cozy little spot. Perfect for a casual date or working. Employee was super friendly and knowledgeable about all the teas. Loved the ceramic items available for purchase. Only thing was that it was pretty cold inside.

    me and my boyfriend loved this place and had one of our very first dates here. however in recent years they are never open and inconsistently have their hours stated online. on 3 different occasions they have been closed when online it says they are open. for example on my birthday we were so excited to go back, we both checked the website and it said they are open weekends. but to our surprise, after driving all the way there, a small paper was taped to the door that said β€œclosed today”. lost our business.

    They have a delicious chai latte that is truly remarkable. The place is cozy and low key. Good place for study or conversation.

    I sold two mugs here in December and still have not been paid. I’ve left messages with two employees and was finally told I have to wait for a few more weeks even though my pottery sold in mid-December.

    This is one of the most welcoming places in the whole city. The tea lattes are killer. Every one of the drinks has its own character and is always made fresh using the best ingredients. Be careful not to drink too much tea. I almost took a nap on the comfy overstaffed couch by the door. It was just so comfortable!

    I’m have enjoyed this little gem for years! The tea choices are so varied β€” and the food is quite good. We are lucky to have this place in Detroit!!
