This place is such a gem. The servings were great for the price and lots of vegan options. The owner was kind and helpful. The inside was decorated so unique and the tea was great.

This is a lovely little spot. The chef/owner is an absolute star, his food at his last location and now this tea house is phenomenal. Honestly the best miso soup I've had in my life. The Tsubaki and London Fog drinks are my favourite so far, and I've loved the vegetarian onigiri I've had there. The bento boxes look great and the people I've been with have been blown away by the food. As people have said, the service is a bit slow when they are busy, but I get the impression they are still ironing out how to streamline their processes in the new place. The atmosphere and people are so pleasant, I don't mind waiting anyway!

My wife and I had been following the Tea House in our neighborhood and were very excited. We went just as the sun was setting and the vibe was wonderful, peaceful, happy and soothing. The service was excellent and was great meeting William, the owner and hearing about his plans. The food and drinks were tremendous. I had the Tokyo Fog Latte and some Oolong tea while my wife had the lemonade with strawberry compote. For food we had 3 different nigiri, the special Udonn bento and a Japanese cheesecake.. we wanted to try a lot! I’m a sucker for udon and the broth was exceptionally rich and delicious. I also loved the salad dressing that had peanut or sesame base and the potatoe salad with the bit of a kick! Our server, May, was very friendly and attentive as well. Excited just bring my laptop here and get a pot of tea to work from a wonderful new neighborhood spot and come with my wife in the evenings. Can’t wait for the grand opening and the future plans!!!

I went with a friend of mine on their opening day and we had a great time. We got the hot chocolate with homemade marshmallows which was delicious and not too sweet. We split the onigiri trio for $10 which was a really amount of food. We each got our own salted salmon which we both enjoyed the most, and would recommend. The onigiri was freshly made to order and warm. You can’t get onigiri within 50 miles or so of New Bedford so this is really exciting for the area. We also split a little apricot tart with whipped cream which was quite tasty and also not too sweet. Great service and a very cute cafe atmosphere. We are excited to return and try their bento offerings and other drinks!

I love this place! I have been a few times now and have gotten to try a few different things and brought my kids to try it as well. My son loves the hot chocolate and likes the couch so he can sit and read while we are there. My daughter loves those rice balls. The vegetable curry is very good. I haven’t had anything there yet that I don’t like. Can’t wait to go back. Perfect spot to relax.

Adorable spot! Yummy food and desserts. Iced coffee and tea was amazing. You can tell they understand that the small details matter. I already want to go back. Chicken bento box pictured is is missing 1 piece of chicken already eaten before pic. :)

The food was absolutely amazing. My wife and I will definitely be back to try more. We both had ordered bento. Mine was chicken thigh, hers was a special with tofu. My only suggestion is to go there when you have ample time, not during a lunch break. The food is made fresh and it can take a while for it to be prepared. Cannot recommend this place enough!
