Comments on: T Bar on Blast – Great Cup of Tea, but don’t try to order food or relax when they want to go home http://socialknitworking.org/2009/12/24/t-bar-on-blast/ This is the shit your grandma used to talk about when she knit. No, really.

Sadly the bad bits of this visit are still annoying me a month later. I couldn't order anything from the grill 1 1/2 hours before closing. No one made any mention of Tuesday being Teapot Tuesday (buy one pot of tea get the second half off - we saw the sign well after ordering) so Andrea & I both had full price pots of tea while Jenn had a paper cup. I left the shop with the beginings of a migraine from the strength of the PineSol scent. However, I have been there many times after work and on the occasional weekend afternoon. I've bumped into friends there who live in the neighborhood and get tea. Their tea is fantastic, they have some cushy seating and free wifi. The staff is usually friendly. I keep hoping we were just there on a bad night. Maybe the employees were silently freaking out about getting home during the strike? I really want to come to TBar’s defense a little.

A little sweeping I can understand, but trying to close the shop while you're still in it is ridiculous. Also, I am a new tea drinker and would not have known that rooibos is caffeine free. Don't think I'll be going to T Bar any time soon. Yuck! A little sweeping I can understand, but trying to close the shop while you’re still in it is ridiculous.
