"This attractive Nomad spot, opened in April 2018 as an offshoot of nearby Blank Slate Coffee + Kitchen, caters to a latte-’gramming clientele, with its floral wallpaper and pastel pink banquettes. The affordable afternoon tea is priced at $28 per person, though it’s a more casual environment, as most customers come for a quick matcha, not leisurely tea service. Expect hipper, healthier savory food options here than the usual tea fare, like avocado and hummus toasts." - Kathy YL Chan, Alexandra Ilyashov

Was here for the Galentine's brunch. Been meaning to try this place and this was the perfect opportunity! The tea tower allowed to sample a little of everything. The rose latte is also perfect and not too sweet. The price was great for being able to sample everything and share with friends. The owner was the one who took care of us and she is super sweet, patient and accommodating! She makes sure each guest has a good time and that guests aren't on top of each other in terms of space and time allowance per seating. The place is also very clean and Instagrammable.

We went for afternoon tea here on a girls day out. Very cute little coffee shop with delicious sandwiches. Matcha latte was very bitter, so were the rose petals. Also wish they had better dessert options on the tower. But loved our experience regardless.

It’s lovely tearoom with pink walls and floral wallpaper. They have 7 or 8 tables. You can order a pot of tea or tea lattes. Tea selection is good. However our tea was very weak. The pot needed twice as much tea leafs. The cup of tea also had very little tea so we couldn’t really taste the flavor. My earl grey had no bergamot flavor at all.

Amazing cute pink shop for a cup of tea for you and me! This is like the sister shop of the Blank Slate Coffee next door! I ordered the blueberry waffle and a rose matcha latte. This is completely blow me away with the flavor and the color! It’s all about the presentation! They have so many special drinks and mix! Gotta try it out!

The best word to describe this place is cute. Mostly pink, multiple matcha teas. I took the rose matcha and it was wonderful. As for the scones, my recommendation is to ask the staff to heat it for you. It makes a huge difference. Also, it wasn’t easy finding a table. We had to wait at least 15 minutes for a table. People work on their laptops from there and it’s a small space.

Any Instagrammer's dream come true. This tea spot is very photogenic, from the drinks, to the food, to the decor. I got a rose tea latte, which is not caffeinated. Comes with some dried rose petals on top. Great aroma, but the milk foam was cold. Also got the blueberry lavender waffle, which comes with fresh blueberries, flower petals and some purple yogurt. You order at the counter and the servers bring out the food and drinks to you. Keep in mind that thks place does not have a bathroom.

Cute tea room that has great healthy lunch options and also pretty desserts. Great place to do work or bring a small group of friends to hang out. I loved the orzo salad with smoked salmon and the earl grey with oat milk I got!!

Service was good, pretty aesthetics and nice ambiance There’s a pink one- more of a cafe vibe and the one on the corner which is brown inside- more of a coffee shop vibe We tried the pink one, it was less crowded. Rose iced latte with oat milk $5.72 Rose water, rose petals, oat milk A simple beverage, Very light sweetness My friend has the avocado toast for $10 and didnt like that the avocados were only sliced and not mashed, She saw someone had it at the corner one and thought it would look like that.
