No Starbucks in this small Floridian town, which turned out to be a good thing. While I was missing my double shot espresso on ice, nothing beats a cool teahouse with homemade scones, loose teas brewed right, and homemade soups (kale quinoa or mushroom barley). There are a couple little tables amid the little boutiquish gift shop displays, and an outdoor porch overlooking Citrus Avenue and some of the other old Victorian shops and eateries on this unexpectedly quaint side street off of Route 19 in Crystal River. Not far from the manatees, or the beach on the Gulf. Wifi is available and specials, like quiche and sandwiches. Friendly staff and patrons. Parking in the back.
