Glazed Skewers and Bubble Tea in a Plant Filled Cafe

Start with the skewers. Three glossy links arrive on a lemon shaped plate, the kind of order that makes a tea stop feel like a proper meal. Behind them, bright fruit tea and milk tea cups show off orange slices, tapioca pearls, and plenty of ice.

Inside, Orchid Tea Cafe leans into a cozy, cluttered living room look. Turquoise walls, shelves of plants, books, orchids, and small keepsakes turn the 4602 7th Ave room into a place to linger. Expect soft soothing music, a welcoming owner, and green teas with fresh egg waffles. The room, with a plant filled window corner, changes the mood from quick pickup to an easy small group hang. A small table by the window gives the room a gentle perch for conversation and a second drink. The current rating is 4.7 from 120 reviews. Come hungry for the skewers, then let the drinks and egg waffles stretch the stop. Leave room for a second drink.
