The Steeping Leaf

"Bea is by far the best employee this tea shop has. She knows what the best new tea to recommend every time I come in for a break from the hustle of the real world. This place has become a home away from home, all thanks to Bea’s kind, welcoming, and engaged attitude for her job. She’ll be running this place one day if I do say so myself. Love everything The Steeping Leaf has ever had to offer me in way of a drink and a treat. CHEERS to you, Bea!"

"Here we go... Came because of gluten free desserts and the ratings. We ended up with cakey, flavor-lacking and crumbly gluten free scone. My wife jokes that my single attempt for a gluten free scone was better. The gelato were more ice cream and one of the was even gummy. Portions were less than kid size. Seems people like this place because of the tea. But for deserts it was very disappointing."

"We tried berry tea, peach tea and masala tea. Everything was delicious and my favorite was the hot masala with milk for a cold morning! Inside is soooo cool and welcoming, lots of seating, clean bathroom, nice decorations, and very helpful staff. What else can I want from a tea house ? :)"

"Nestled alongside a nondescript community, this little spot can be easily missed and that would be a shame. While it appears to be mainly a tea shop with retail sales and the like, they also feature a very nice menu for breakfasts and lunches. We came across it pretty much accidentally while looking around for places nearby. The only sign that this is some sort of retail establishment is the outdoor sign, so be on the lookout for it, or you will miss it. Either that, or use your GPS to find it. The interior is bright, airy and cheerful with lots of tongue in cheek posters revolving on the tea theme. There is both indoor and outside seating. What you do is grab one of their menus, decide on your drink, food, or both. Provide your order at the counter and pay for it. They give you a little metal number and deliver your order to your table. On weekends, their menu is much more limited than their weekday menu -which I found to be backwards, but that’s the way they operate. We tried three different Panini sandwiches as well as two iced teas since it was hot on the day we visited. We also stayed indoors as it was air conditioned! Drinks were delivered by one of the women who took our order while the food was delivered by Guido – who was working the kitchen. We tried the Roasted veggie, Salami, and Turkey Paninis. Two of them with their sides of chips and one of them with their house salad. All were very tasty. There was no choice of dressing for the salad and while it was overdressed, the dressing was quite good. Total bill for the three sandwiches and two iced teas was $44. They also offer gelatos and pastries. In addition, look carefully around you. There are surprised hidden in all kinds of unexpected places! :-)"

"I actually found out about this place from someone at my church, so I came with my mom to try it out! To start, I am not a tea fan, but the iced tea here was amazing. I got the Passionfruit Herbal, and my mom got the Fruity Fruit. Both were naturally sweet tasting, very fresh, and we decided to buy some tea to make at home. Don't worry they have coffee and things for kids to drink too :) We also stayed for lunch and got a roasted veggie panini, and a chicken salad wrap. Both were very fresh and tasty, and the menu is fairly large so there are other great options to try. They also have Gelato which is seriously just as good as what I had in Italy from a past trip, so getting to see they had Gelato was special since thats not as common in the US. They also have a small retail section with tea items such as cute cups, tea to buy, merch, and more. The biggest thing to note about here is that the parking isn't the best, but the building is very nice with plenty of seating indoor and outdoor on the porches, inside is a renovated house with everything modern and brand new. There's a lot of seating inside and everything is very crisp, modern, and clean. I heard they do a brunch on the weekends and host a tea party, so im 100% going to look into those, and hopefully be back very soon to try more tea and menu items :)"
