Velvet Monkey

Such a darling place with delightful locally made teas! My girlfriends and I spent the afternoon strolling around the main street of McMinnville. The atmosphere is intriguing with glass jars of teas and assorted tea kettles. The even sell Moonstruck chocolates! The reason for my rating? After consuming most of a bubble tea, my stomach felt quite queasy and I was unable to finish the drink. I'll try this place again next time I'm in town. Overall, I'd say to give this sweet place a try and decide for yourself.

I have become enamored with this charming tea room. My journey into my new found love of tea started with a delicious Dark Chocolate Peppermint tea. I was instantly smitten. I have since branched out to a number of teas, my home often taking on the subtle hint of the latest blend. I would be remiss if I did not also talk about the amazing owners, Serengeti and Richard, and their charming assistant Sierra. They are all knowledgeable and kind. I am always greeted with such warmth as they will often talk with me about all of the teas as I work my way through the lot. I have laughed with them and learned from them. They have all together created a welcoming environment, to sit in a beautiful place and discover a new passion. Thank you to Serengeti, Richard, and Sierra for introducing me to this wonderful new world❤️

This is an amazing store, with amazing tea. You get a good bang-for-your buck, and its locally owned and operated. There are also good organic options, and the workers are masters in their crafts. There is by far not enough business in this shop, so I urge you to stop by and pick up some tea or boba.
