Plentea is described as a cozy, welcoming spot with an expansive tea selection from classic to inventive blends, a standout chai karak, and a strong lineup of house made cookies and pastries; reviews highlight fresh, well made drinks like rooibos latte, friendly staff, and a warm vibe that invites lingering, with late hours noted as a plus, while a few comments mention limited seating, occasional noise, and some inconsistency in drinks and space cleanliness.
I ordered a karak chai with saffron, & it was extremely disappointing. There was no noticeable saffron flavor at all, despite paying extra for it. The drink tasted mostly like water & lacked the rich, creamy consistency that a proper karak chai should have. To make matters worse, the ice had already melted by the time it was served, making it even more watered down.
What made this even more disappointing is that I've had this drink in the past & enjoyed it, which makes the difference even more noticeable. The consistency & quality seem to have dramatically diminished over time.
For almost $8, this was honestly the worst karak chai I've ever had. I expected much better quality for the price. I'm not sure if this was due to the staff member who prepared it today, but the experience was far below expectations. I won't be returning, & I definitely cannot recommend the karak chai with saffron.
Everything was beautiful. The place was great, the staff were very friendly, & the experience was wonderful. I will definitely come back a third time. I highly recommend it.
Plentea is such a cozy hidden gem! The owner is super friendly, the drinks are amazing, especially the Matcha & Chai Lattes & the location is perfect. I recently tried one of their cookies, & it was the perfect little treat. Warm vibes, delicious drinks, & great people. It's becoming a routine for me! 🤗 Highly recommend!
The tea is unique & delicious, & although I didn't get one during my visit the cookies & pastries looked incredible. Don't come here if you are looking to get work done though, it is a little loud & not very spacious. Good experience overall though & would recommend for people who can appreciate quality tea & creative flavor combinations/recipes.
Chez Plentea, ce n'est pas juste du thé : c'est un moment suspendu.
À chaque gorgée de Karak, je retrouve ce goût exact, précis,
celui qui appartenait à un autre lieu, un autre temps.
C'est rare de tomber sur une saveur aussi fidèle à ses souvenirs.
& quand la mémoire afflue comme ça, par le simple goût,
on comprend que le prix n'est pas pour la boisson :
mais pour le voyage intérieur qu'elle offre.
Je recommande, sans hésiter. Chaque fois.
10/01/25: this place was recommended by a friend, we were 6 & it was one of the most incredible tea experiences we agreed that we had, the lady was very welcoming & warm, sweet & made for us one of the best tea's some of us ever had. The customer service was 100/10. Would definitely urge you to try this place.
First time here! Walked in looking for a refreshing drink & a snack. Dana was so welcoming & incredibly helpful in her recommendations. She was friendly & made the place memorable. The tea was rly refreshing & the paratha was delish too! I recommend to anyone looking to discover something yummy & new with great service! PS. love that the bathroom was clean, bonus points for that for sure (especially in that neighborhood)!
