👍 Fun, eclectic mix of craft and paint supplies including unique imports. It is very tightly shelved so would be impossible to enter if using a mobility aid like a walker or wheelchair, or a stroller. Prices were as randomly displayed as the collection of items were-- I unfortunately purchased an item... People often mention supplies, shop,

    Fun, eclectic mix of craft and paint supplies including unique imports. It is very tightly shelved so would be impossible to enter if using a mobility aid like a walker or wheelchair, or a stroller. Prices were as randomly displayed as the collection of items were-- I unfortunately purchased an item marked $4.50 for $10.99 (there were three customers in the store including me and two staff members; one of the staff members was very harried by so many people which is how the mistake was made and missed by us both. The tea was delicious but the tea menu did not include prices. $6.99 plus HST for a cup of tea means I will skip tea in the future. I will definitely go again. I will check for their less busy times and will verify posted prices and what I am charged. I think I caught the one staff member having a tough day; to be clear they were not rude, just visibly frazzled. The shop really is unique and fun; the staff were congenial. It is unfortunate that it's not physically accessible but aside from that, the other complaints are minor and the eccentricity and joys of finding unexpected items outshone the negatives. I look forward to being able to explore the shop more (but I won't have a cup of tea!)

    It’s my favorite place in HALIFAX. They basically provide organic food and tons of different teas. They travelled a lot to find the best tea in China and bring it back to Halifax. It’s a quiet place located at waterfront that you can go there to escape from the busy harbor and grab some food, though it’s a bit hard to find the place! Ideal place for tealover, local crafters, and travelers:)

    This is a fabulous shop for all kinds of artistic creation tools but the natural dyes extracts are my favourite purchase, something that I haven't found in Ottawa! Thank you.

    Wow! This place is so cool. Very cute and cozy, it's perfect. I can honestly say this is my new favourite place in all of Canada. Craft supplies AND a tea shop?! They carry a ton of craft supplies that are usually hard to find. I was pleasantly surprised they sell natural dyes. And bought a bunch. They also sell lots of beautiful tea pots and cups. One side of the shop has seating and the tea shop. I ordered the matcha smoothie and it was really lovely. I enjoyed listening to the music and looking at all the plants as I drank it. I could have stayed all day.

    Hidden gem! Best place for loose tea I’ve found in the city. And great stop for hobby nic-nacks, well priced smithing / crafting tools of all kinds. Love stopping in here.

    Love love love this place. Amazing food and an even more amazing ambience. Love that they had delicious vegan and vegetarian options. It is run by an artist couple with a love for tea and food! Happy to have discovered this gem while visiting Halifax.

    I had to cancel an order due to my error. Fast response and money refunded. Re-order was delivered very fast and well packaged. Do not hesitate to buy from this company.

    Very cute shop! Inside included lots of arts and crafts supplies, stationary, and a wall of teas. They accept most credit cards and cash. The store is hidden away and entrance is only available from the outside.

    A delight! Tea and crafts, what more can you ask for? Great selection of asian papercrafts.

    The perfect place to pick up specialty art supplies and tea making items. They have a great selection of tea on-hand to try before bringing home for yourself or as a gift to go with a cute tea set. It's a little hidden, but 100% worth the visit.

    Found this hidden gem while trying ti hide from the rain. Tried one of their iced tea/lemonade and it was great. The owner was super friendly and quick to whip it up for us.

    Such a cool little place. Full of fun stationary and art supplies and an awesome selection of teas.

  • 5/5 Kipp R. 11 months ago on Google
    Super adorable and affordable with a ton of things you can't really find in western style shops like staples etc. nice selection of tea cups, notebooks, stickers, pens, and some craft supplies. Sort of like a general store- but it leans toward adorable 'office' supplies. FIND THE ENTRANCE FROM THE OUTSIDE. Maybe I'm dumb but it took me a second to figure out where the entrance was.
