I was running errands today and I decided to stop here and experience what some of my friends have been talking about. It really is a well done tea and coffee shop with pastries too. \n\nI ordered berry black tea, iced and I got some macarons top bring home. The gentleman asked if I wanted a stamp card and he spread the cards out so I could choose the one I wanted. I wrote my name on it and hung it on the wall. He then told me to sit anywhere and he'd bring the things to me when they were ready.\n\nI sat at a low seat near two primary desks/seats from an old school. It reminded me of the desks I'd seen for so many years as a teacher when I was in the elementary school.\n\nIn a short time, the gentleman brought me a tray with a pot of hot berry tea and a glass with ice. He told me if I needed any more ice or hot water that I was just to ask.\n\nLater, he came back to ask if I needed any more hot water and I asked for some more ice. The tea was very tasty. Serving the tea in the small wooden tray with a leaf and wind up toy was really a nice touch.\n\nEdit: While I was drinking my tea, the gentleman came over with the macarons I had ordered. They were placed in two bags with a nice sticker closure. They are very tasty. I tried one--all right--I tried a couple. The chocolate especially stands out.\n\nThe only drawback for me today was the fact I was there alone. This is definitely a place where you want to come with a friend or friends--maybe even sit in the VW canvas bus. It's a place where you share conversation, play a game, or enjoy a pastry with someone else.\n\nI really like the way the place is decorated. So many nostalgic things. Thanks to Paolo's girl friend and Brian for the translation of the name. I'll be back to get my stamp card off the hook and I'll come with a friend. I need to find someone who wants to share some honey toast. It looks so good. Almost enough for three people.
