Nice service, large portions, good polish fare and a great tea house
As a coffee guy, never really got into tea. Girlfriend loves tea though, and usually I'm the one slogging her to heavy sweet treat breakfast spots. So when we found a tea house not too far from home, we had to make the trek.
Parking is a little difficult for this niche little location. They have a parking lot but not a lot of spaces. You'll have to find a decent place on the street to park if you want to partake in this location.
But the space is well decorated. Little dark, but plenty of couch seats and tables. Server was very nice, but had difficulty translating the menu for us. We ended up over ordering but that's okay in certain situations.
I got a beef stuffed pancake and a sweet crepe with farmers cheese and honey. Food came out quickly along with tea, and we dug in.
The portions were very large. We got two small crepes and were presented with burrito sized monoliths of crepe. The size was impressive, and the quality was also good as well. The ingredients in each were properly prepared, seasoned, cooked and presented. The farmers cheese was not overly gritty though I was expecting a little more salt. The honey was nice and sweet, and the whipped cream was freshly whipped.
The stuffed pancake was a potato pancake. Which worked well enough with the beef. I feel like a pierogi from these guys would be stellar.
The tea, well I don't really do tea so much. I have preferences, and the royal red robe is about as close as I get to my preference. It was mild, not very grassy. With light honey the mid flowery notes are more pronounced. And the color is a rich red. It's good, but it's very much tea.
If you're looking for a plethora of teas, or really solid polish fare, this place is a go-to. Their quality and portions are great, and their teas are freshly seeped and prepared well. I'm not converted to tea just yet, but the food is good and they have coffee if you really want coffee. If you don't mind the parking situation, there's a lot to like
