I have never been here before; only enjoying their teas at a spa that I was familiar with. I had swiped an Earl Grey from there to give to an associate, and they loved it so much that they came here to buy their own box, in addition to getting me one of my favorites, Moroccan Mint. I know this has nothing to do with the taste of the tea, but the box design is beautiful.
Long overdue, I wanted to return the favor, and knew I'd have to make my way over to their shop to do so. I do not go into this neighborhood often, so I tried to map everything out prior, including checking out yelp. One thing I was immediately put off by was the fee that is added to the checks. It didn't appear as though this could have the option of being removed either. Either way, this was one of the rare times I'll just take one for the team.
Parking is tricky, but I found a spot just past the light on the corner. Walking over, I encountered a tiny line, but glad I checked out photos on here as I knew exactly where to find the boxes of hot tea. Once I arrived to the front, a friendly girl greeted me and asked if I wanted anything else. Of course, I gave into a chocolate croissant since I saw it sitting there, so I might as well. Offered me a bag after ringing me up, and handed me the requested receipt.
I hate to say, but the croissant was pretty darn good. Quite flaky where pieces were falling off (but if you know me, I still ate those fallen pieces). Pleasantly surprised as I checked out my receipt, there was no fee tacked onto this purchase; perhaps since it was a retail one (although the croissant was not, but it was to go?), it was just the appropriate tax charged, and that was it. I still wanted to kick myself for spending nearly $30 for those three items, but it was a trip that was worth it after all.
Due to the nice girl, selection of items being in stock, and the really good chocolate croissant, I won't mind visiting again.
