Te Cafe • Squirrel Hill • April 7th, 2008The Te Cafe is a charming little shop, located right on the corner of Beacon and Murray. I really like this place, even if it doesn't sell coffee. Sometimes its nice to go out for a cup of tea.
Today I tried the pommegrante rosehip black tea. Awesome, nice blend of fruitness and black tea. Served piping hot in your own little tea pot. You get your mug, and a tea timer, so you can brew your tea to taste. For someone who likes strong tea taste, this is a very important feature.
Te Cafe has somewhat of the indy look, more like kiva han's little sister who shops at Ikea. For a small shop they do their best with seating. They have counter seats, tables, and comfy chairs. The big windows are very nice in this weather, you almost feel like you're outside without the chill from the wind.
The staff is friendly and swift. Te Cafe also offers free wifi (seriously how does starbucks stay in business when they charge for it.) The store is also very clean (no crumbs on the table).
The Te Cafe has over 100 types of tea, serves tea lattes, smoothies, lemonades, french and italian soda, and a variety of hot chocolates. No coffee though...
four and a half beans!
