Customer Reviews

"If you're searching for a hidden gem in Waterloo, Iowa, look no further than Panache, an extraordinary tea boutique that truly lives up to its name! From the moment you step inside, you're embraced by a cozy, inviting atmosphere and a sense of genuine warmth that’s rare to find. What sets Panache apart are its amazing owners: a remarkable South African woman whose passion and charisma radiate through every detail, and her equally delightful mother, who brings charm and grace as she waitresses. Together, they create a space that feels like a home away from home. As a chef, I’m pretty particular when it comes to food and drink, and Panache gets it right on every level. The tea selection is nothing short of phenomenal—whether you’re a tea connoisseur or just dipping your toe into the world of loose leaf, they have something to amaze your taste buds. And let’s talk about the food! The South African-inspired dishes are a revelation. Each bite is crafted with care and bursts with authentic flavors that transport you straight to the vibrant heart of their homeland. Customer service here deserves a standing ovation. The owner and her mother make every guest feel valued, going the extra mile to ensure a memorable experience. It’s the kind of place where you’re not just a customer—you’re part of the Panache family. Two thumbs up (and honestly, I’d give it more if I had them)! Whether you’re in it for the tea, the food, or just the exceptional vibes, Panache is an absolute must-visit. Trust me, you’ll leave with your heart full and your hands full of tea to take home!"
