Infinitea is a cool tea shop in Uptown that also offers some tasty vegan side snacks. I came here with a friend and we shared a number of things: a tea-infused apple cider ($3.50); a tea-infused hot chocolate ($3.25); a pot of an Indian black tea ($4); and a vegan scone ($2.50) and hummus with pita chips ($4).
The cider was great---hot and comforting on a cold winter day. It came in a large cup, too. The hot chocolate was really tasty (it was like a melted chocolate bar) but it was so small in size that I can't justify ordering this drink again---it's just not a good value for the price. With both drinks, you get to choose what type of tea you want to infuse into the drink, which is a great level of customization.
The scone was solid (it comes from Isles Bun kiddy-corner) and I appreciated the freshness of the home-made hummus (our server made us an extra batch free of charge, too).
On a whole, this is a great shop with nice foods, wonderful service and an excellent array of teas from around the world. If they had more seating (and more comfortable seating) and were somehow cozier, I'd be there all the time.
