Milk Tea People

Tucked into the interior courtyard of a mixed-use building on Market, which means it is a few degrees quieter than the sidewalk twenty feet away. The counter is small and the focus is narrow: matcha and hojicha lattes, boba, matcha waffles, seasonal drinks like an orange creamsicle. The shop makes a point that the full price paid for its tea leaves goes to the farmers, which is a specific enough claim to be checkable. Open until nine or ten most nights, so it works as a dessert stop after dinner on Market.

Why go. A quiet courtyard table and a hojicha latte after a loud dinner.

Walk into the courtyard rather than looking for a street door; the counter is not visible from Market.
