A cozy atmosphere for work or studying. The tea selection is unusual in its variety. Though pots of tea are a bit small for the price, the server offered me a refill of hot water, and the Himalayan Quest was robust enough to stand up to a second steeping. The crepes are quite good. I was there all day, so I tried two. The brown sugar had just the right amount of sweetness, though a bit soggy. The days special, the "entomatada," had pork, black beans, tomatillas, and hearty veggies. It was like a French-style burrito, lighter and more delicate than the Mexican version but packed with well-balanced flavors. Downsides were few: The New Age music got tiresome after a while. Prices were on the higher side, $20 before tip for tea and two crepes, but Im willing to pay for pricier food if I can work all afternoon in a cozy, inviting place. The Elephant Room definitely ranks as a new favorite.

Terrible service. Took 20 minutes to get a drink. Waitress did not know how to make drinks and so had to wait for the cook to make a drink. Salads were OK but waitress ran away before I could ask for salt-and-pepper which was needed because salad was otherwise bland tasting. Spinach crêpe was just OK. Fig and prosciutto crêpe was almost all salad. Would have appreciated the waitress telling us that seeing as though my husband ordered a salad with his crepe. Menu is very very limited. We ate outside because the inside had a very weird smell. Noisy traffic with a gas station across the street does not make for a very exciting fresco dining. Disappointing at best.

Really good offering of teas in Pawtuxet village. My wife had the Mandarin Silk oolong tea which had a great aroma and smooth taste. Ive had several of the black teas and some of the pu erh teas - all have been very good. Teas are served in a pot and the staff brings a sand timer so that it steeps for the perfect amount of time. The upper half of the place offers some high-top seating and couches where you can find people often hanging out or studying. The ambient tunes usually playing makes for a good atmosphere as well. I cant speak to any of the food offerings though - will have to try a crepe next time I stop in!

An excellent place for a delicious meal or a cup of tea to study with. Their tea menu is extensive and uses the inner 3 pages of menu! Their crepes are divided into "sweet" and "savory" sections. We ordered an apple, brie and walnut crepe and also their black forest crepe (they have a couple more vegetarian crepes, but most are not). Their tea has small tea timers so you can have it steep the perfect amount, and if you like the tea you drank, you can buy it! Overall an excellent place and definitely worth travelling a little out of the way to visit, I will assuredly be returning soon

A friend and I stumbled on this place when we found the coffee shop we usually go to closed. We loved it! This is a place where you can curl up on a comfy chair or sofa and drink tea.They take tea seriously here, offering many varieties and serving it in individual pots--with timers for steeping! I ordered a crepe (prosciutto-fig) and it was delicious. The music, wood floors, and artwork are spacious and relaxing. Will definitely go back.

Whether you want a hardy breakfast before you get on a plane at T.F. Green, or youre looking for a cozy place to work / hang, this is your place. When youre not in the mood for french pressed coffee, they have a gigantic selection of teas on their menu, and the servers are happy to add flavors to your satisfaction (honey, lemon, etc). And satisfied you will be. Did I mention this is a crepe place?

The crepes here are excellent and they have a lovely tea service. Live music usually brings a lively crowd, but the place is typically a quiet retreat. The staff is very friendly and helpful, but easily overwhelmed, but nobody here seems to be in a hurry.

Great spot for some unique crepe dishes. My wife and I have tried several variants and they were all delicious. The decor is very interesting as well as how they operate. Their concepts with their dishes as well as their teas are great.

Love the tea. Love the atmosphere. Food was good. Wish it was bigger to accommodate more people. Gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because on a Friday night it gets packed and some might find that uncomfortable.

The crepes are delicious and the tea selection is phenomenal. Food comes out fast and always fresh and tasty. If I have to say one negative thing about this place, it is the need for more tables.

Best crepes in town, huge variety of teas, infused tea cocktails and one of the best coffee Ive tried in Rhode Island. A must if youre in town. A new Schastea opening in Broadway soon!

They have sweet and savory crepes. I had the tuna melt it was fantastic. Also love the selection of teas. They serve it with an hourglass so you know how long your tea steeped.
