I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The atmosphere is amazing. As soon as you walk through the door, you feel right at home. The owner was very friendly and upbeat. The drinks we got tasted fantastic and were reasonably priced. Overall the entire experience was great, we will definitely be coming back next time we visit Juneau

This is the perfect chill out spot. It's been a while but last I was here I was with a group of friends and relatives over a New Year's. We enjoyed one of the tea rooms for ourselves and was served a variety of teas from staff :)

Came here during a short layover. 5 minute walk from the airport, great London Fog lattes, collection of board and card games, fast Wi-Fi, reasonable prices -- a solidly good place to relax.

The tea is so amazing here! Especially the premium milk tea, and boba. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful especially if you know little to nothing about tea. (Especially Ivan in the downtown location.) I highly reccomend them to everyone!

I enjoyed the tea here after a long day of hiking. I should have taken a picture, but I didn't.

This is a great tea house, the photos don't do it justice. There's a large selection of loose leaf tea that you can buy as a cup or by the oz. There were flavors that I haven't seen outside this shop. He also has many milk tea options with a variety of boba and mochi to choice from. When dining in, you get to choose from a variety of cute, unique tea pots to enjoy your tea in. Definitely recommend. I wish this tea house existed in my home state.
