Your Guide to Authentic Regional Eats
The motto of L'Amyx is, "It's not just tea. It's a lifestyle." That's easy to believe when you spend some time in this sunny storefront, where the ambience is completely different than that of the Bay area's coffee bars. Although most tea indeed is caffeinated -- some of L'Amyx's brews extremely so -- there is none of the high-energy buzz of Peet's, Starbuck's, or the independent coffee places that are so common all along the northern Pacific coast. The mood is mellow, the room tone quiet, the staff soft-spoken, the whole process of ordering and sipping conducive to meditation or intimate conversation.
