  This was such a cute tea shop that had really welcoming staff. I came in here a few days ago to see what the store was about, and when you walk in they have a huge wall of tea! I really liked the fact that you can get two tastings when you visit, so I tried the Spiced apple tea (so good, highly suggest to try and buy), and the Himachal tea. The Himachal tea was so unique, although not my type of tea. They also have an offer that if you check in with Yelp you can go home with a free tasting, which I took a peach tea home (and loved it!).
  
  They have seating in the back if you want to sit and order tea and scones, which we might do next time, and also sell lots of candles! I personally found their candles to be better priced that others in the area.

  Tldr: great tea shop with huge selection, rotating sample teas and friendly staff
  
  I love this store so much! I really enjoy dropping by after work and trying some new teas. They have a huge selection and oh my goodness I want that tea wall so much.
  
  Best part: they always have two sample teas and you get a free, freshly brewed cup of tea at the bar with any tea of your choosing! Also, don't forget to do a Yelp checkin and get a free sample to take home too!
  
  The baristas are always super friendly and have helped suggest some great teas. My current favorite was one they suggested! (White peach: very delicate tea with strong peach aroma) I tried a cup at the tea bar and immediately got 4 oz. to take home.
  
  The actual cafe is also nice. The tea flights seem interesting! The shop also has lot of other tea related goods like mugs, strainers, pots and tea related gifts, trinkets and gift sets.

  I came here after perusing the area and exploring. I stumbled in and was immediately welcomed and felt so comforted by the wonderful aroma of teas. There are a couple of cafes within the building as it is huge, where customers could purchase teas. There's a very large selection and variety of teas to select from, which is fabulous.
  
  There was a tea sampling and I tried the hot apple cider, the pumpkin spice, and the spiced plum. All of which were delicious, my favorite (surprisingly), was the hot apple cider. Usually I'm a sucker for pumpkin spice, but the apple was so great that it absolutely took the cake. The tea here is super high quality and pair very nicely with pastries and snacks.
  
  The staff was also super helpful and let me have a bit of a running commentary about the teas I was trying, which I appreciated.
  
  Overall, a great, fun experience, and I will be back to explore more of the teas!

  This store is grand. I felt like I was walking into a famous landmark building that once was a library. The wall of teas, look like it once was filled with books from long ago. They have a huge, I mean "HUGE" selection of teas here. I was so intrigued by how great this store looked and by everything they had in it. They had candles, teapots, teacups, honey, etc. I even saw some things that would make great gifts for a tea lover such as myself. (I hear they have a yearly tea club.)
  
  So you can sample the teas by looking at a list of their selections, you smell the tea blend you want, and if you like you can pay $2.00 to take home a week supply of that sample, up to five samples per visit. You get a free one with a yelp check-in. They also have some brewed samples that you can actually drink, as well.
  
  They have a small cafe in the back of the store where you can sit down and enjoy some of their tea, or speciality drinks hot or cold, along with some scones or pastries. You could get some work done on your laptop, read a great book, just think coffee shop environment, but a relaxing one with very lil noise. You can also buy packaged tea bags or sachets, or bottled ice teas, they have a whole variety of those too. If you are a tea lover like myself then you have to make a visit here. The prices are reasonable and with their variety of teas, you could never get bored. I will be back, believe that.

  I adore this place! Harney & Sons is available  in many places but this particular store stole my heart. The selection is teas is fit for a true tea lover-- there are soooo many options to pick from!
  
  The walls are adorned with different loose leaf teas and beautiful cannisters. I love getting the iced winter white earl grey tea. It's pretty fairly priced for the quality and quantity of tea you're getting. Highly recommend stopping in on this place rather than buying at a high-end grocery store or online-- the in person experience is really worth it!
