•nice ambience
•an overwhelming lists – asked waiter to recommend but not really helpful, just roughly repeated what the various kinds of tea they have in the menu
•settled for some fruity tea which isn’t all that special
•quite pricey – 11 dollars for a pot of tea (& only fills around 4 cups) - and do not refill it with hot water
•not as crowded as starbucks of coffee bean
sweet crepe pancake dessert is actually quite good. love the ice cream and caramel which goes with it
