Description

Designed to offer a reprieve from the chaos on St. Marks, the interior provides a quiet space to sit. Drink standouts include the Rock Oolong Milk Tea, praised for a bold, earthy flavor that avoids being overpowered by milk, and the osmanthus lychee oolong. Those ordering from the frappé line will find options like the pecan snow topped with whipped cream, alongside milk teas with a notably thick, aromatic texture. Visitors also frequently receive free goodies like magnets, tea bags, and tote bags.
