I likedThis is actually a bookshop. Very wide variety of teas to choose from. They have a menu almost as thick as a bible.
I dislikedThey only serve tea by the pint. If you're not planning to drink and pay for a full teapot, well tough luck. On the expensive side, but since it's in a mall I guess it's not that pricey. I've once bought a cheaper book than the cheapest tea they had. Toilet? If they have one I haven't noticed it. But you can use the mall's toilet if you feel like walking around for 10 minutes.
I likedCărtureşti it's a really nice place!
I dislikedNothing.

I likedThe tea is really good, and being served in large sizes it will last a lot. Wednesday evenings are a must, they display board games, crayons and watercolors for the clients to play with, and the prices for the tea are significantly lower for those who play.
I dislikedThey don't have a toilet indeed, but being in a mall it would be rather weird since the mall has plenty of them. However, reaching the closest ones takes longer than actually using them.
