"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, Harry Cheadle

"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
"Wallingford’s welcoming tea shop, Friday Afternoon, blends teas and tisanes based on traditional herbalism but also pop-culture references." - Stasia Brewczynski
