Initially, i was heading to the Asian Family Market to get some groceries, but this little shop caught my eyes. Their sign said they had hot chocolate and tea, and I thought to myself: ... who can say no to that?
The first impression of the shop was good. It was cute, clean, and spacious. On one wall you got array of tea on display, and on the other side you have the tea station along with a chocolate display case.
Anne (with an e!) was there to greet us. She briefly introduced herself and explained what they had to offer today. Unfortunately the chocolates were very popular, so the case was a bit empty and we didn't get to try them.
We ended up getting two Lavender Fog lattes and they came in super cute pink cups. My cousin was really impressed with the foam on top, since it was super fine and she just loved it!
I also enjoyed my London Fog as well. However, If I can give one bit of feedback, I'd love to be able to control the sugar level. The tea latte was good, but it was so sweet that it muted my sense of taste a little. I understand that everyone has a different preference for sugar level, but I have been on a low sugar diet for years. So I think it would be very beneficial for a customer to order full/half/low sugar to their individual tastes. Otherwise the tea latte was nice and warm, and the flavor was enjoyable.
Personally I'm very interested in doing high tea with my girlfriends. It sounded like it'd be a fun experience. Also from what I'd heard from Anne, they serve sandwiches, treats, and chocolates, soup, salad and unlimited tea. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a dream to me! If I ever try their high tea, I'll post about that experience too.
Like many reviewers have addressed, this shop opened during the height of COVID. Anne told me it was (and still is) really stressful and difficult to keep the business going. So, if you are into tea, chocolate, good company, and/or supporting black owned businesses. You should definitely check this place out!
