"The sign on the door says that Cosmo has declared this Wallingford spot “The gayest tea shop on the West Coast.” It might be the geekiest too — Friday Afternoon’s website has a whole section dedicated to “fandom blends” that reference Star Wars, Studio Ghibli, and so on. But it’s also gotta be one of the friendliest tea rooms in Seattle as well, with a staff happy to walk newbies through the extensive (almost intimidating) array of teas on the wall. Note that this is one of the few places that as of winter 2023 was still asking customers to wear masks, though if you don’t have one you can pick one up by the door." - Dylan Joffe

"Featured in Frelard Tamales' holiday collaboration, this geek-favorite tea source supplies teas for the curated gift packages." - Gabe Guarente
"At the Wallingford retail location of this online tea shop, I found a wide variety of herbal blends with a medicinal focus and geeky mixes based on films, games, and literature, including Halloween offerings like Raise the Dead (white and black tea with cranberry and marigold) and Goblin King Blend (green tea, ginger, and black peppercorn)." - Gabe Guarente
"Friday Afternoon Tea, a self-described 'queer nerd' tea shop, is donating 100 percent of all Hogwarts-inspired tea sales this month to the Nina Pop and Tony McDade Mental Health Recovery Funds. These funds support mental health recovery for the black transgender community. The shop offers pop culture and literature touchstone items for takeout and online retail." - Gabe Guarente
