We had Jasmine Pearl Tea here and it was excellent! My daughter got Boba tea and we also had Ginger scones. Everything was delicious! We got a table upstairs and had a nice view of Dupont.

Such a gem of a spot. Love how cozy the upstairs area is. The croissant I got around lunch was sort of stale, maybe pastries are better in the morning. The ginger limeade was so so good though! A refreshing drink for when it’s hot outside.
Tiara Brittne,
I stumbled across this place. Its in a nice neighborhood. Its super cute and authentic. They have a lot of variety of teas, pastries, and hot food which looked delicious. I decided to get a black Boba tea and the vegan ginger scones. They were baked fresh straight out of the oven and very amazing! I have had an obsession with scones lately. I thoroughly enjoyed them with the jam! My iced Boba was fine, not too sweet at all. I would definitely come back. They played smooth jazz the whole time! This place is such a vibe. It feels very cultural and authentic and very relaxing.

This was a unique restaurant we found by accident whilst exploring embassy row in downtown D.C. It was awesome. It had a great selection of teas (as its name suggests) and a fantastic menu of Japanese inspired cuisine. The energy was also great and the staff were friendly and accommodating. My partner and I liked it so much after our first visit that we went back the next day for dinner. This was a great find, and I 100% recommend you visit it if ever in D.C.

This restaurant offers diverse cuisine, including Korean, Japanese, Indian, and Thai foods. All were great! I saw someone complained that salmon had no flavor. You should dip it in brown sauce together with kale under salmon.
