Samovar
Saturday, June 03, 2006
These tea lounges will never catch on quite as fervently as the regular sort of coffee culture cafes. But for us non-coffee drinkers, it's sure nice to have the option here and there. Even if the place is owned by Starbucks (I think Samovar is), I'm into it because they have really great tea. Even with the exotic name (am I in Africa? am I in India?), it's still just a Starbucks vibe cookie cutter joint, but at least I can get real tea here. Food too. Though, it's crazy expensive.
