Argo Tea

Steven Suarez

I think this place is great. The atmosphere is really welcoming and relaxed. They have plenty of tables and chairs, there is no sense of being rushed, nor was I bombarded with annoying music. The service was excellent as well. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and patient. I really liked the selection of teas that they have for sale. As for the drinks that you can buy there, the taste was wonderful, BUT they put too much ice! Barely any drink in that cup. So I suggest that you ask them for only a little bit of ice if you decide to go there.

This spot is just gorgeous. I mean wow. Definitely worthy of a stop on lunch during that tough collaboration retail week. Adidas doing another collab with Gosha or something? Lines down the street for it and poor you working registers huh? Stop by get some relaxing tea and watch the greenery grow in this garden house glass structure. Though the spot is on an island between rush and state, you feel anything but alone here. The plants embrace you and the fermented green tea leaves and antibiotics ginger in my favorite, the Green Tea Ginger Twist will lift you up. Making you feel elevated, transcending you into oneness with your environment and surroundings filing you with a sense of Argo "tranquilitea". This place gives you a serene connection with nature hard to find in the concrete jungle that is downtown let alone the heart of the Gold Coast. Like for real though, I used to work at Abercrombie and Top Shop. Forget Starbucks, sipping a warm ginger twist or rooibos red under the light filled trees was my morning mindful activity or my winter afternoon wind down after the Black Friday rush. That's why I'm still a regular today. Hope you all get as much peace from this gem as I typically do.

I've been coming here since this place first opened, and it's only improved with time. They redid the interior decor and moved the coffee/tea bar towards the middle (it used to be in the back). There was a kind of "lawless" atmosphere in the early days, but it seems more secure now. The staff are always friendly and drinks are as good as at other locations.
