""A must-see", this "dazzlingly beautiful" "authentic teahouse" brought over from Tajikistan and reconstructed just blocks from the Pearl Street Mall captivates guests with its "magical" decor." Full review
Afar Magazine "Now the building—a beautiful, distinct structure covered in intricate mosaic and art—is a kind of social hub, especially during weekly farmer's markets, which happen on its door step." Full review
Afar Magazine "Among the odd foods for sale were vinegars, combined with chocolate, berries, and herbs. The market is great for people-watching and a marvelous way to spend Saturday morning." Full review
