Radiance Tea House & Books

The atmosphere is peaceful with books on shelves, displays of tea pots for sale, and quiet music. It's a great place for a date or catching up with friends. I will say that it's not the best study place because there isn't really a space to just sit and lounge about. Now most importantly, the food and tea. The tea is traditional. If you enjoy your tea without sugar, you'll love it here. They have a large list of tea which I love with their origin listed as well. My dumplings we're delicious, I wish I had more but it's okay. The price is not really cheap. A pot of tea is about $8 and up if I remember correctly for a person by themselves. It's much more lenient if you have more people with you.

This place is quite cozy with delicious tea but fairly average food. This was our second time visiting and our primary reason for returning was the tea (which is obviously a good thing). We ordered a couple dumpling sampler boxes and a pot of ginger milk tea (pictured) which is our all-time favorite. Dumplings were just ok but not something to write home about however the tea was spectacular. I would recommend checking this place out if you're looking for delicious tea. Prices were slightly above average given quality of the food.

Good tea selection, but I am skeptical of their brewing methods. I was informed that all green teas are brewed at the same temperature of around 80C; too hot for Gyokuro! Food was solid, but not amazing.
