Cute shop with lots of fun gifts, crystals/stones, tea, and knickknacks. Very happy with the set of blank cards I bought and the customer service was excellent! We sampled some tea and it was delicious.

The staff was nice and the gifts were pretty cute. I also appreciated that the lady working was making sure people followed covid guidelines. The 3 stars is because my Lapis Lazuli stone is fake. I held it after being in the heat and some paint rubbed off in my hand. I used some acetone on it (just to make sure I'm not crazy) and sure enough more paint came off. I wasn't expecting an amazing quality Lapis for $8, but I was expecting it to atleast be real. I would of even been happy with a poor quality Lapis for $8, instead of what I'm pretty sure is plastic. People purchase these stones for healing, so it's messed up that they are selling junk. I'm not sure if any other stones are fake, just don't come here for the Lapis.

One of my favorite shops I stopped at while visiting Old Town. Very unique and cute gifts. I loved the cat stuff and tea section. There's a nice spiritual section with different a stones, tarot cards, soaps and herbs. I bought a beautiful pendant and some angel cards. The shop owner was very friendly.

Oh! A really great place to shop for gifts for tea lovers, cat lovers, dog lovers dinosaur lovers, etc. Cool products, great prices, great customer service. My cousins in Ireland will love their gifts from here. My friend, who lives here loved her Carrie Fisher coaster. Thanks for being here Whimsy.

What a fun and beautiful shop! So many soul satisfying gifts and items. Loose tea blends, jewelry, loose crystals, tarot, state specific gifts, and so much more! Prices are reasonable and shop is clean and inviting. The owner is very friendly. I'd definitely recommend this store.

I like this hidden shop! They offer tastings of a few teas which are excellent. The gifts are whimsical and cute, especially if you like cats. They even offer the teas for sale thru Amazon. It is worth the effort to find this shop.

Easily one of my favorite stores I visited on my trip to old town. The have a huge variety of punny teas that also taste so good! They offer 3 different teas for sampling. They have fun mugs and different area full of cute items such as pins, mugs, tiaras, a catholic candy with princess Leia on it, lots of cat stuff, cactus stuff, unicorn, and mermaid stuff. The own is a sweet old lady who is super adorable! Even the packaging she puts everything in is cute!

My girlfriend had bought a cactus pin only to find out later that the back snap was broken. We went back the next day and let them know that the button was fauly and they replaced it free of charge. Very cool store with great customer service. They also have a cool little cat that hangs around outside.

I'm glad that we stuck around Old Town ABQ a little longer. Aside from the main square area there are a lot of good finds if you just follow some slightly less beaten paths. Whimsy Tea is one of them; it takes some walking to get to their area but it's definitely well worth it. I was drawn in by the free tea tastings because I love free and I like tea. When I walked in, I assumed it would be like the tastings I've had where they do a spiel about it. I was happy to find out it was low pressure, they featured a green, black and herbal and you could taste on your own. I browsed the store a little before trying out the tea and it's definitely very femme-centric. I am obviously not of that gender but I appreciated the pop-culture mash ups, art references and local art stuff. I tried their tea-also named after various female characters and tropes and their Princess Pea green tea with wild strawberries was delicious! When I try teas with fruit flavors it's either super weak, if it's there at all or IN YOUR FACE with flavor injection. This tea was neither, it was balanced well with a sweetness that wasn't overpowering but you could actually taste the berries as well. I bought a tin of it and when I checked out was told they sell online and on Amazon, so even though I've tried to hold onto the tea as long as possible I know I can order more.
