Short and Stout Tea Company, LLC

"This was our first time visiting, and we're really glad we went! We orered the Taro milk tea and the Banana milk tea, both with oat milk and regular boba, and also four macarons: Pistachio, Earl Gray, vanilla, and Tres Leche. You Everything was really delicious. Seating was plentiful, even though it was busy. They offer a plethora of adorable tea-related merchandise for purchase. Over all, we had a pleasant experience and will be returning again, very soon!"

"I visited from Boston today in the evening. I initially was drawn to Short and Stout because I saw a post on Instagram about their Thai tea cream puff. Upon walking in, I was warmly greeted by all the workers despite them being busy. I noticed the walls were lined with tins filled with all sorts of teas and S&S even has a small area with prepackaged smaller dried teas and other tea paraphernalia. There was a case by the register with a ton of goodies in them, offering both sweet and savory. I was a bit disappointed to learn they didn't have any Thai tea cream puffs since they were "seasonal" to last month (I was a bit confused about this information since I didn't see anything on their Instagram about having a monthly special. I'll just have to try my hand at making my own TT cream puff). The attending worker apologized for the absence of the cream puffs, and I opted for 6 macarons: two pistachio, one lychee-rose, one lavender, one creme brulee, and one passionfruit. All were excellent (especially the pistachio!), but my least favorite was the lavender. I normally love lavender goodies, but this specific macaron was like biting into a bath bomb. They may want to go back to the drawing board and lower the level of lavender flavouring. I also ordered two veggie spring rolls warmed and to-go (delish) and a jasmine milk tea. The cup the boba comes in is very cute. The only part of the milk tea I didn't like was the sweetener used in it. It tasted very artificial, like Splenda or Stevia. Overall, I would come again if I'm back in the Albany area."

"The owner of this company is top notch! I have never actually been to this store. However, I had their Chai at another coffee house in New Hampshire. It was sooo good. I asked them for the label so I could buy it to have at home. They ended up having to put it back on their website for me. When I got the tea (which came relatively quickly). I could not get it to taste like I remembered. I contacted them and the owner called me and explained to me their process (simmer for at least 45 minutes) so I could do it at home. The outcome is amazing chai! I had no idea chai needed to simmer for so long to bring out the flavor or the spices. If I am ever in the area I will definitely make sure I stop in here. Judging by the other reviews I've read their treats are good too :)"

"I've been to this establishment a few times now and I really enjoy it here. They have the best quality Matcha in the area. I've gotten Matcha for home, a Matcha strainer, and a Matcha bowl. The service has been top-notch every time! Today I decided to get a "Kyoto Matcha Iced Latte" with Oat Milk, Honey, and Cinnamon... it is LUSH! They load it up with really excellent quality and yummy Matcha! No where else around compares and the atmosphere is so comfortable here. Definitely come and support this business."
