I'm not sure if this area is considered Downtown Kensington, but this amounts to the only place in town where you could sit down a spell and have a cup of tea. In fact, there's quite a selection of teas here if you can make out the print on the jars placed on the shelves (photo: http://bit.ly/2zvGIbB). A cup ranges from $2.50 to $4 depending on how artisan the tea is. I was able to enjoy the Chai Masala for $2.50 on my most recent jaunt here (photo: http://bit.ly/2DOThSL). If tea doesn't float your boat, then there's the Raxakoul Coffee used in all their coffee drinks and consequently the updated name of this hodgepodge of a place. But wait, there's more, a whole lot more if you're in need of gourmet food items like Italian truffles and cheese of course, housemade dessert treats (photo: http://bit.ly/2kXVZ0p), or even a French coffee press. They make meat and cheese platters, holiday pies, and gift baskets, options I'll likely take advantage of if Jamie W. and I ever turn into the East Bay version of Ina Garten and her absent husband Jeffrey and throw a dinner party. How easy is that? Anyhow, I will continue to take advantage of their teas and count my blessings that I have a place to go for that last-minute pannetone. Like that would happen. TEA - 4 stars...quite a selection AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...they have a lot squeezed in there SERVICE - 3.5 stars...staff is nicer than the management TOTAL - 4 stars...how easy is that?
