Formosa Tea House: A little place for tea

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Formosa's is an Asian teahouse, with a big variety of different teas, Taiwanese snacks, and meals. They also sell chopsticks, little statuettes, and other crafts from Eastern Asia.

All the snacks and teas are very cheap - $5 or less per item. You can order several without going broke. All the snacks are vegetarian. There are also bigger meals and combo platters but none are more than $10.

On most days, it is open until 3:00pm, then closes for a few hours, and re-opens at around 5:00pm.

Favorite Dish: I LOVE the bamboo rice, fried dumplings, sushi, and spring rolls. I have tried the water dumplings and like them, but prefer the fried ones. As for tea, I have only tried the frozen bubble teas - taro ice milk, black ice milk, almond, etc and love them.
