The Tea Grotto is a spectacular place. I stopped in yesterday just for some chai and to relax for a few minutes in their zen space. I decided to try the free tea tasting on Saturdays simply because I wasn't in a hurry to be anywhere. It was wonderful. I tried teas I'd never heard of before. The woman who did the tastings was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, we could ask her anything! They know their list of teas is a bit daunting so the purpose of these tastings is to introduce you to new teas and help you try something different; thereby eliminating the overwhelming nature of the massive (and exceptional) tea list. I am far from a tea expert and had stayed away from these tastings so that I didn't have to listen to true tea 'experts' show off to each other how much they knew (you know, like people at wine tastings?!). I was genuinely surprised at how much fun and un-intimidating my experience was. Importantly, there is no pressure to buy anything. I did give her a tip, but in no way was that forced on me. Try this place, you won't be disappointed!
Pros: Great environment, friendly people, relaxing
Cons: Parking can be hard
