Crema's Take
“Tea Spots pulls off the rare trick of being both a serious boba destination and a legitimate casual dining spot, with a rotating menu of Taiwanese snacks and light meals that keeps regulars coming back for more than just the drinks. The atmosphere strikes that sweet spot between laid-back hangout and polished café—clean, welcoming, and actually comfortable for lingering with friends. Skip it if you're chasing mind-blowing culinary innovation, but it's exactly what you want when you crave consistent, well-executed tea drinks alongside crispy potstickers and braised rice bowls.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Parking available.
