I've been to this place many, many times and I can't say enough good things about it. Located right next to the Starbucks at the Domain, this place reminds me a lot of the cute little restaurants in NYC. The place is small but clean with very minimalist decor with booths. On a nice weather day they have tables outside that you can sit at and enjoy watching the foot traffic. The staff is very polite and friendly and the owner/manager (an older gentleman with glasses) has always been there every time I went. I would highly recommend the tea sandwiches, especially the red pepper hummus and salmon, cucumber and cream cheese (forget the exact name) one. The teas of course are amazing and there a hundreds to choose from. I personally like the matcha tea. You could get it in a kettle to share or a bowl for yourself. The desserts here are really good too. I especially enjoy the earl grey mousse and almond torte. You just have to go for youself, I can't say enough good things about it. The last time I went the good service was even more exceptional and ended up leaving a big tip. You will also feel so clean and healthy after your meal too, not bloated like if you were eating fried foods.
Pros: everything!
Cons: if there's anything, i would say the parking.

This place if friendly, relaxing and has a fantastic selection of teas. The baked items are high quality and the selection changes with the season. The pumpkiin tart with spiced whipped cream was to die for. The German chocolate cake is amazing! Nice staff, this place fits well in Austin. I should know, I was born and raised here. Don't be intimidated by the swankiness of the Domain-the people here are warm and friendly.
Pros: food, service
Cons: parking on busy days
