I use to love ❤️ this coffee and tea place. I have been coming since it opened up. I would stop here to take my elderly mom living in a retirement community down the street her favorite vanilla chai. I noticed that for the last five weeks when I called the line was always busy. It did not matter what time of morning or afternoon it was, or if it was Saturday or Sunday. I thought how odd. So I asked the young girls why is the phone always busy. I was told they take it off the hook every weekend because it gets too crazy. I tried to call again today and it was busy.

Hot chai latte: They first actually gave my wife an iced chai latte, but they were nice enough to make her a new drink. I'm not a big chai fan so I thought it just tasted ok. I also couldn't really taste the coffee so I don't know if they actually put the...
Read moreMy only criticism is that the music can sometimes be a bit noisy, but the coffee is wonderful. This also the best place to buy coffee beans - and they will grind them to your specification if needed. Very good value and superb quality - there is a huge choice which may be a bit daunting but the staff will help and because you can buy small quantities, it's fun and not expensive to try different types or blends. The tea bags are also excellent and the chocolates are delicious. I have been buying my coffee (and tea) for home consumption since the "Tea and Coffee Plant" was a stall on the opposite corner, many years ago, and the quality has only increased since then. Good choice of newspapers and a nice...
