Tea Lounge

Let the aromas of herbal bliss lead you right through the doors of Park Slopes Tea Lounge. This neighborhood favorite has evolved over the last 10 years from a small coffee and tea shop into a full out lounge and go to place for everyone includinge moms, couples, singles and students. Open from 7am up until midnight most nights. Adorned with warm, cozy sofas, live entertainment for toddlers alike, fresh bread, bagels, croissants and scones. Don't let the blockade of strollers deter you from entering for that morning latte. The Tea Lounge is the go to spot for nannies and stay at home moms during the early morning to mid afternoon. During the evening into the night the Tea Lounge transforms into a new school 'joint' equipped with live musicians and different acts performing. You can grab a drink from the bar and relax. The prices here are very affordable and the wifi is free. Known specifically for their variety of over 60 different organic blends and varieties of fresh teas to choose from or other hot beverages including lattes, mochas, cafe au lait, even a Nutella breve! I decided to stop in at the Tea Lounge for a morning business meeting. I ordered one of the Toasties which basically is a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich ($6.25). The sandwich is fresh, made to order served with your choice of fresh bread, your choice of mozzarella or cheddar cheese, chilled veggie salad (purple onions, cucumbers, tomatoes & green peppers) and potato chips. For my drink I chose a small vanilla chai latte ($3.75). Personal tea pots are available at ($3) or for two ($5). Each tea bag is handmade, scopped and filled at the counter. So if you're in the mood for a step up from the norm of the hustle and bustle of Starbucks find yourself here.
