The Tea Cozy Cafe & Lounge
Where Tea Meets Community
A space to sip, stay, and slow down
The Tea Cozy Cafe & Lounge is a tea-forward cafe, creative space, and gathering place on the Westshore.
The idea is simple: a space outside of home and work where you can settle in, spend time, and come back to again and again.
Inspired by the warmth of old-world tea houses, 1890s-style gathering spaces, and apothecaries— the atmosphere will feel layered, cozy, a little curious, and easy to get comfortable in.
Tea is at the center of everything here.

Featuring a small, thoughtfully curated selection of fresh, simple, and seasonal items, including:
-
House-made baked goods
-
Light, made-to-order sandwiches

Fresh salads with house-made dressings

THE DRINK MENU
Featuring a rotating, carefully curated selection of organic loose-leaf teas, including:
-
Black, green, oolong, and white teas
-
Herbal infusions and functional blends
-
Seasonal and small-batch options
You’ll be able to enjoy tea in a few different ways:
-
Hot, brewed simply

-
Tea lattes (classic and a few more creative ones)
-
Sparkling tea spritzers

Tea flights if you feel like trying something new


The space itself will be a defining part of the experience.
The goal is for it to feel:
-
Cozy, but not crowded
-
Interesting, but not overwhelming
-
Easy to settle into for hours
Somewhere you can sit for a while, whether you’re meeting someone or just keeping to yourself.
