Eat The Tea

I just ate the best sandwich of my entire life here.  About ten of us went here with the Tea House Meetup group.  What a beautiful little restaurant and shop!  It's artsy and colorful, just like owner Maureen and the lovely cooks and waitresses.  I highly recommend the avocado sandwich if you're looking for something light and fresh, totally delicious and vegan.  I'm pretty sure I've died and gone to vegan heaven.  My non-vegan friends loved this place too, and most of them didn't even realize it was vegan food.

Keep in mind that this place is part of the slow food movement.  Although you can get your food to go, this is the kind of place to sit down and  truly savor the food and the tea.  Chat with Maureen and the regulars.  You'll learn a lot, have a great time and leave feeling revitalized.

Still a little hung over from last night?? or feel the flu coming on??  Get your ailment cure at  Eat the Tea. The tea doctor Maureen knows what tea to prescribe for any ailment. But don't trust my word for it go see her yourself and tell her about your issue and feel the relief a short time after she prescribes the perfect tea.

This place is perfect for a business lunch or renting out the venue for  a bridal shower tea party. This place is a gem and Maureen is sure to be a local celebrity within the near future.

I was just driving by one day and this colorful place caught my eye.  I decided to make a U turn and go check it out.  Once I entered this place, I felt like I  walked into a picturesque Mediterranean cafe in coastal Spain or France. The interior  is beautiful possessing a dainty calm yet wild  "Art Basel" feel.

       I spoke with the owner Maureen who is very pleasant and friendly, she informed me her establishment is a vegan/ vegetarian cafe with a strong emphasis on hot and cold exotic tea's. Maureen uses Ayurvedic and Chinese medicinal principles to make over 50 varieties of tea blends labeled  elixir's and tonic's. Basically you tell Maureen what you like, what ails you or how you feel and she recommends one of the elixir's or tonic's for you. She also sells the tea dry by the ounce for those who like to make their own tea and Ayurvedic bottled herbs.

        There is also a small vegan/vegetarian menu with a daily soup of the day. Sprinkled around the cafe are many interesting books on  ayurvedic, general health, meditation etc to purchase or read.  

       Outside of tea's and edibles maureen also sells tea drinking accessories such as uniquely designed collectors tea pots and cups. She also has tea dyed hand made purses/bags for sale.

        I decided to order an avocado sandwich,  lentil soup, and some kind of 3 berried flavored iced tea. The avocado sandwich was delicious, you could taste the rich flavor of the  fresh ingredients. The lentil soup was perfectly spiced and was made with many  vegetables some of which I could not identify. This was most fulfilling soup I have had in years.

        This cafe is excellent for  casual relaxation while having a healthy drink. I think  this place would be perfect to bring or meet someone to have an intriguing platonic conversation with. I will definitely be back, especially for those delicious tea's
