Was in Boulder for 3 nights & visited 3 times. Barista was 3 for 3 on tea recommendations, & the atmosphere was fantastic! Regret not trying the coffee, but this really seemed like a tea kinda place!

Not like most cafés in Boulder where everyone is working away on a MacBook. Calm here for a nice, calm atmosphere and great chai lattes.

The atmosphere is great, but take the time to look around and you will find gems like the painting of ice fishing in the near future. Brilliant.

I have the Cafè Florentine, very smooth, yet strong cup of coffee. #delicious

Great place to have a strong latte. Also a huge slice of lemon and poppy seed cake is 1$

I like the vibe but customer service here sucks. If you don't tip you get weird looks.

Make sure you buy something right away even if your not thirsty or hungry yet - or they'll ask you to leave. Not my idea of good customer service...
