Best Place To Get Tea: Cafe Babalú

With its shiny yellow exterior, quirky, cluttered décor and the strong, exotic aromas emanating from its kitchen, Babalú is a beacon of good, relaxing vibes and nurtures that nostalgic, carefree part of your soul. And better yet, Babalú has an endless tea list hip enough for all the Ramona Flowers out there. They’ve also developed a delicious mutant tea/coffee offspring in their ‘chamomile soya latté.’ It’s easy to spend the better part of a day curled up on the sofa, talking to the friendly staff and visitors or taking to the comfy balcony to soak up those rays during the summer months.
