Incredible atmosphere. Truly love what the owners Brooke and Caleb have created here. They even let our (well trained) dog hangout inside! Extremely friendly with a beautiful, thoughtfully curated space.

Brett Caudill

I freakin love this place. Great drinks, great ambiance, lovely indoor and outdoor space, excellent community events, workshops, live music, and well-decorated bathrooms. One of the true gems of town. I love the cacao drinks, and regularly treat myself to a tea flight, a easy fun way to get to know a few different teas on their menu at once.

BJ Griffin

I am so grateful to have been brought to this amazing place. The energy upon entering is just magical. The owners are truly loving humans and the drinks are soul nourishing. I am totally addicted and plan on driving the 1hr+ drive often. Even the bathroom is a magical portal! Definitely recommend this place!

One of my favorite spots in Gainesville. Amazing atmosphere and drinks. I often go here to work on projects, and I also meet with my wife and friends here on a regular basis. 😁

Richard W. Tate

It's "crunchy" but that's the appeal. Palo Santo should be expected. The beverages are excellent- interesting concoctions of tea, coffee, matcha, and other infusions. Nice place to sit with a friend and converse, or get some sketching or journaling in.

Alexander Brito

Wonderful teas. Kind, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable staff. Cozy space.
Grab something to go or stay for a whole tea pot.
Only downside is parking downtown can be frustrating some days.

Lorena Castillo Gonzalez

High quality tea. Very calm and welcoming atmosphere. Its refreshing to see an unique place in town.

Update: I haven’t seen a place with so many high quality herbal mixtures and lattes

Tasha Bush

HOWL feels like a sanctuary for my soul. The cacao is mixed so thick and rich. I feel so incredibly grounded after visiting here. It's a place that feels like home.

Amina Hamzic

Great ambiance, very clean, spacious, and has delicious drinks. A personal favorite order of mine is the Swampy Matcha. The staff also couldn’t be nicer. A very relaxing and welcoming environment the moment you step inside.

Home away from home. Art gallery meets tea room. A place to lose your mind and gain your soul, to build connections, to drink and be merry. Don't miss it!
