awesome tea selection and good for holistic health. big source to infuse your dishes with unique worldly flavors as well.

This place is neato.. it sports a huge selection of loose teas, either for drinking right there or for taking home to steep yourself. They sell various tea-related equipment like teapots and strainers. One unique thing I noticed is that you can buy a variety of teabags individually wrapped in case you don't need a whole box (e.g. if you're just trying them out). Oh, and the salesperson was cool because she told us one of the teas we were buying makes her pee a lot. :-)

Really good! Nice, plain, cold tea- the most refreshing thing to drink on a hot day in the market. I love it.

The last two times I've had scones from here, they haven't been cooked through. Needless to say, rewarmed, undercooked pastry is as bad as it sounds.

Scones here are served warm, with butter, whip cream and jam on the side...mmmm! Grab a cup (or a pot!) of tea and it makes for a great catching-up session with friends after work!
