Our friend, who lives in that area was craving sushi so we hit up Sushi Stop for good and cheap eats. Then we walked to a place I've been wanting to try since he moved there.
Volcano Tea House is located in Sawtelle Japantown, known to most as Little Osaka. Up and down Sawtelle, the street is lined with ramen houses, Asian shops like Daiso, which is a chain of stores similar to the 99 cents store but things are $1.50 and a bit better quality, and other places that will give a small insight into the Japanese life. Volcano Tea House was very cool. They have lots of options including coffee and tea, smoothies, boba, and some snacks. Ample options to suit any one's mood which worked out great as the three of us each ordered something different from each other and also had other items we wanted to try picked out, for next time of course. The husband ordered jasmine green tea that was perfectly steeped. The friend ordered a banana milk tea with boba and said it was great. Such a pretty yellow color with dark boba at the bottom. The menu had so many options but what appealed to me most was the flavored lattes. I went with a Kahlua flavored latte. Nutty, buttery, foamy and perfect without needing to add any extra cream or sugar. I can't wait to try the other flavors and items on the menu. The only downfall, which seems to be a theme in some of the restaurants there, is that a lot of places are cash only. The husband and I didn't know going in so it looks like when we are ready to try the other options at Volcano Tea House, we will be picking up the tab for our friend. Thanks again, Mate.
