Cameron M.October 28, 2013I love tea and vegetarian Asian food, so this place is great for people like me. Have the seitan stir fry. If it's Monday, try the okonomiyaki. Beware the teapots designed to spill everywhere.
Marcia ChatelainMarch 30, 2014Ginger scones, THE salty oak cookie with chocolate, the salmon and naan sandwich , and the shrimp noodles are great. Breakfast rocks with the waffle and the chicken sausage.
Byron JohnsonDecember 8, 2019The Tea at Teaism is amazing and varied. Black, Green, and White teas. Asian/India/N.African menu. Great atmosphere with the best classic Jazz tunes playing.- Stephanie YeungDecember 2, 2015Ginger scones are great, and my favorite salty oat cookie variety is the chocolate chip pecan!
Alexandra SterninSeptember 3, 2017The tea selection is really great, fan of golden monkey and oolongs. Their dishes are really nice, everything from cookies to hot plates.
Will BudreauFebruary 16, 2017Loving the "trash or treasure" concept - keep food out of the dumpsters AND paying them for it! Yum!
Ashley RoseOctober 19, 2013They list "fresh" ginger ale on the menu- which I read as made in house. Sorely mistaken when I was handed a bottle of Bruce Cost Gingerale, made in Brooklyn.
Preaching to the choir, but you MUST try one of their life-changing salty oat cookies. And their chicken udon soup is perfect when you're under the weather!- checkitoutMay 1, 2013If you've overdone the salmon bento box and are looking for variety, the thai chicken curry with crisp veggies and brown rice will satisfy your tastebuds.
VilmaJune 25, 2011Get the salmon ochazuke. They give you a pot of green tea with it that you pour on top to make a soup. But ditch the wasabi. I like spicy food but it overpowers this dish.
Niki PapadogiannakisMarch 12, 2015Bento boxes are awesome. Come with friends, get a couple pots of tea and share.
Katarina KatsmaMarch 13, 2016Their "Japanese food" isn't actually Japanese, but some sort of a twist. However all their tea is fantastic!
EricJune 2, 2015This is the original store. It looks like it has a smaller menu, but it's more of a space issue!
kyla EllFebruary 6, 2014There is nothing better than hot jasmine green tea and a scone by the window.
ChrisOctober 4, 2012One of the few decent ACTUAL cheap eats in the city. Bento box for $10? Yes please.
Makena CunninghamJuly 14, 2013their oatmeal cookies are to die for. the sprinkle of salt -perfection.- Ayanna James-Lu'BeckeFebruary 17, 2013The Cilantro Scrambled Eggs with the Tea Cured Salmon is to die for!
Ben LoebFebruary 22, 2013There is a definite shortage of outlets at the downstairs counters but the tea is great!
Humberto MartinezJanuary 17, 2012The cilantro egg scramble is a great healthy brunch option. Throw out the bread (carbs).
Ananda LeekeMay 17, 2010Went to a wedding celebration last night that was catered by Teaism. Amazin food. My favorite was a sweet potatoe,mushroom, and green bean salad. Delish.
You can order the udon with tofu even though it's not on the menu.
Ahmad BilalNovember 29, 2009Ginger scones! It's all about the ginger scones. Also, the french toast is only on weekends, but pretty damn good.
Sean McGrathMarch 21, 2010Best value: Today's Iced Tisane. $1.75 plus unlimited refills. All teas are delicious. Also try the sweet naan. Om nom nom.
Get the shrimp rolls on a weekday--if they still have them! They're great!
