"Absolutely love this spot for coffee and purchasing gifts! The monthly rotating menu is always so fun. Their coffee, teas, and matcha are always perfect and they have so many flavors to choose from. I do wish they offered lemonade, which I like to add to my iced teas, but that’s my only small qualm."

"Really impressive store! Colorful. It's very very popular. My wife and I went and scanned the loose leaf tea he's got very excited had four bags ready to go and then noticed a sign on the wall that said you have to stand in this line and pay. The lion had about 10 people in it so we put the key back and left disappointed. They have another cash register on the left side near the door but they didn't choose to use that. It's a great place if you don't mind standing in line!"

"Our place for anything coffee or tea! Amazing place for freshly roasted coffee, loose tea, and spices. Excellent quality and a huge variety. The shop is always packed, especially in the mornings for to-go drinks, but worth it. Pro tip: there’s a 15-minute standing parking area just across the street, which makes quick stops easy."

"I simply cannot put into words how much I love this place. I discovered it on a walk around the area when I moved to lakeview last year. I was enticed by the creative themed drinks outside. Upon entering I was greeted by barrels upon barrels of coffee, jars of tea lining the walls, and fun/silly pottery as well as other gadgets for your coffee/tea affini(tea). I had come back multiples times and it is consistently great every time. The baristas are friendly, and efficient. When it is busy they take your order in line before the register, so even if there is a line close to the door, it wont take more than 10 minutes to get a drink. The workers are amazing, I had wanted a tea that they had just ran out of, and they made the blend for me on the spot. The creative menu is what gets me coming in time after time, knowing that there is always some fun combination to try. They have themes based on bugs, queer haircuts, famous mothers, and most recently, recession indicators. I love that they always have a fun corresponding menu on the inside as well. Whenever someone I know visits the city, or I make a new friend, the first thing I suggest is that we go to the Coffee and Tea Exchange. In a world where every coffee shop menu is the same maybe 10 drinks, Coffee and Tea exchange is bringing back the fun side of beverages."

"As a coffee addict, I loved this place. I bought coffee from here, not any drinks. I love trying out new flavors and they have Colombian, Arabica, French, Italian and many more. Each of the barrels you see in the video has different coffee in them. They have around 3 different decaf coffee alone. When it comes to their price point I found it on more expensive side per pound. Most of their coffee starts at $14-$17 per pound, there are a few much below or higher than that. As I like to experiment with coffee tastes I paid even more expensive price point of $5 per quarter pound. In my opinion it is really expensive but again coffee flavor adventures do cost more than Costco coffees which are around $6-$9 per pound. I would definitely suggest to stop by. When you buy any coffee they do ask how you would like to be grinded. I couldn’t answer right away so they asked a few questions and figured out what I would need."
