The Tea Spot & Juice Lounge LLC — Restaurant in Frederiksted

I came here the other day with my family and placed a large order with an EXTREMELY generous tip because we loved the drinks and service so very much. The young woman working was kind and very understanding, she even brought our food and drinks out to the table we were sitting at. I had such a good experience I kept trying to get my family to go back, and even showed up on a day they were closed because I got so excited! I went in today super pumped to get the same coffee I got the other day. A different, older woman, was working; I believe she’s the owner based off comments she made about the employees. Right off the bat, she wasn’t very friendly and did not even say “hi.” She acted like I was wasting her time by coming into her shop and supporting her business. I ordered a large mocha latte, the exact same thing I got the other day. When I got my drink and tried it, it tasted completely different, gross and bland, compared to the previous visit. I rarely ever say something if my order comes out differently than I expected, but since I was so excited for this coffee I decided to say something. Instantly, this worker was extremely rude and accusatory, saying whoever had worked the previous time must have added sweeteners without me asking and they needed to have a talking to and that she needed to “investigate this.” She then for about 5 minutes yelled at me as if I was one of her workers about how dangerous it is to add in sweeteners without asking the customer first, as if I was the one who made the coffee and served it. She scoffed at me multiple times and treated me like a liar when I said I ordered exactly what was on the menu. She talked down to me as if I was her child and when I went to leave because it was clear she was annoyed with the interaction she asked if I wanted her to add in some sweetener; I said yes please. Then for another 5 minutes she talked down to me as if I was one of her employees and explained to me in detail how I was in the wrong and that when I come back I needed to order it differently, which it’s funny she even assumed I’d come back after such a horrid interaction. She repeatedly said under her breath she was ANNOYED, specifically when saying the vanilla syrup would be an up charge, but she was so “annoyed” she just let it go. I never stick up for myself in service situations, so I was feeling very upset that when I tried to advocate for myself AND her employee, she basically told me we were both in the wrong and she needed to investigate the situation. I feel bad for the poor employee that is about to get yelled at by this rude and unhappy middle aged woman treating them like children. I am pretty sure she is the owner, but she looked and acted so extremely miserable I don’t understand why she is there.

Overall this was the worst interaction I’ve had on my entire 10 day St Croix trip. She did not treat me like an adult or even another person for that matter. I would have given the place a 10/10 if I never went back, but that second interaction was genuinely upsetting. I would only recommend going if the owner isn’t...

What a hidden gem! Despite the name, this place offers a lot more than tea: coffee, smoothies, açaí bowls, waffles, juices. Everything is fresh, organic, and vegan. The portions are generous. The location is beautiful. The owner is a local and super friendly. This place is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it, but it is absolutely worth seeking out, even if you don’t normally limit your diet to vegetarian/vegan options. This is one of the best...
