Alex and I are up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, visiting family, and on Saturday, while they were all attending a birthday party for a young friend, we decided to check out The Attic, a used bookstore and tea and coffee shop in Green Bay.
I sampled their "Dahl House" blend, a ginger and peach black tea, and a huge chocolate chip scone, both very good! Alex had a bagel and coffee, which he also enjoyed.
I enjoyed seeing the clever collages displayed at the store, including this one with a familiar tea quote.
I left with a new tea tumbler (an unbreakable souvenir that's suited for air travel) and some Caramel Apple Rooibos that is a delicious antidote to the cold weather up here in Wisconsin!
I too have family in Green Bay. I haven't been to the Attic in a long time. I'll have to make that my tea stop the next time I'm up there to visit my Mom. Last year I took my Mom to "Q Tea". The tea was very good, however, they served it in a paper cup! When I asked for sugar, they brought it in a small bowl, but no spoon. Was I supposed to dump it in and stir with my finger?
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out "Q Tea," so thanks for the tip, Barbara!
DeleteI believe it's on Oneida St.
DeleteThis looks like an enjoyable spot. Have a great visit with your family!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you found a place to have tea while traveling. That is one of my favorite things when I travel.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks lovely! A coffee shop in Fontana, WI, is where I was introduced to Rishi Tea (home in Milwaukee). Have you ever had Rishi? My favorite is China Breakfast.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea to combine a used book store with tea! If it weren't for flying, I'm sure a few books would have come home with you too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTea and used books--what a wonderful combination! And it's great that your tea was served in a porcelain mug--I do not like to drink tea out of a paper cup.

Books and tea! A perfect combination and the C.S. Lewis quote sets the mood. :)
