Love this place - Edit
Favorite place to get gluten free vegan treats. The girl who makes them is awesome, she really knows what she is doing. I've never been disappointed with a sweet snack here. The sweets are all vegan and most days there are one or two options for something gluten free too.

Great tea, even better food! - Edit
Everything is wonderful!! They also have a small retail area with great deli meat from various companies. Great for sitting down with delicious tea and food or grabbing lunch to go. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Fresh food, teas, cute atmosphere - Edit
Stopped in while traveling. They had great “meaty” sandwiches that were fresh and good for a traveler’s tummy. Bursting boba in my green tea was a nice treat too.

Phenomenal - Edit
Heidi has created a welcoming and comfortable spot for a cup of tea and a tasty vegan meal and sweet treat. Her, Joel and their entire staff make you feel welcome everytime you come in. It is fun to hear her explaining the different teas to her customers. They also host community compassionate living events and special event evening meals. The Lasanga dinner was amazing. Thanks for being a bright spot and bringing vegan food awareness and availability to North Mankato.

Yummy sandwich - Edit
I had a "beef" sandwich, plus cheese and almost all the veggies, on sourdough bread. Sandwich was really good. There's also a large selection of baked goods to choose from. And tea of course.

Best plant based gem in Kato! - Edit
This is a local gem. It always has something delicious on the menu (all vegan!) and you can try a scrumptious new tea every time. Eclectic and casual. ❤️

Wonderful Tea and Light Lunch/Vegan options from Local Sources - Edit
This is a wonderful tea shop. It's a quaint little spot that has a wide variety of teas. They often have samplings where you pay $3 and it's all you can drink. Great way to try new tea!
Read moreThey also have some nice, light lunch options that are vegan. Soups, sandwiches, hummus and the like. I know that you can get Herbivorous Butcher products there (cheese and meat).
Wonderful spot and a must visit!
