                          Interesting combinations of food flavors. I especially enjoyed the rosemary, passionfruit and hazelnut with blood orange. Staff were very nice too, particularly as I was dining solo. A little crowded and loud.

                          This has to be one of the top places for tea in Boston. The food was amazing - especially the onion soup. It was so great to see a full house on a Wednesday afternoon!

                          Tea was great - we went for a birthday celebration and the staff was nice enough to put a candle in one of the cakes. Everyone we encountered was wonderful!

                          Absolutely loved it. Highly recommend for anyone but espically anyone that is gluten free. And they also have vegan options. Staff is also awesome. They are very accommodating and work well as a team. Its small so reserve ahead of time and can get loud because it is smaller.

                          A wonderful experience! Great tea, food and service. My small complaint is that the tables are very close to one another. Otherwise we loved it.
