LOVE this space. Very unique and well decorated, and it's literally in a home so it has such a comfortable feel. I ordered the Matchamama which was divine ✨ and caught up with a close friend in the backyard seating area. Felt like a dream as the live oak tree drapes overhead with its Spanish moss. Could not recommend enough 😊

Every single drink I've tried here has been so perfectly crafted. It's mind boggling how each beverage can be so balanced and fulfilling. The love and care poured into each drink is palpable. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, they readily share their knowledge on the ingredients included in the drinks and the space itself feels like home. I love this shop.

This place is special! it’s great for a tea date, or a place to read books, and to study. The community surrounding this place is welcoming and kind too!

Top notch tea house and community space. Warm, inviting and generous. These folks are bringing great vibes to the area. Beautiful gardens and decor. My toddler was given some herbal tea and got to share gong fu tea service with my parents. Bravo!

What an absolute gem! This is a super cozy and artsy community space with a cafe and shop (crystals, books, jewelry, etc). The space is uniquely appointed with tons of creative touches; there are so many interesting things to look at and be inspired by. The building is apparently over 100 years old, but has been recently updated in a lot of ways. I want to come back for their special events, and to have tea in each of their many adorable seating nook options! Plus, the folks who run the place are so sweet and great people. Howl definitely gathers likeminded humans. ✨

Truly one of my favorite spots in the city. The atmosphere, tea selection, and friendly staff have me stopping by every week. I greatly recommend it as a place to study, date spot, or just hang with a group of friends.

I love that this place exists in Gainesville. Delicious and unique drinks like cacao with adaptogenic mushrooms, as well as mainstays like golden milk and matcha, in a thoughtfully vibe-y atmosphere. Try a tea flight - it's a whole experience! Caleb has forgotten more about tea than I will ever know. Thank you HOWL for keeping Gainesville weird (and conscious).
