Tea's Me Community Cafe

If you know me, you know I'm not a coffee drinker--I'll always choose tea instead. That's why Tea's Me Café is the perfect spot for me. Plus, there are tons of amazing tea options.Beyond tea, they also serve delicious breakfast and lunch items, and let me tell you--the chicken bacon ranch sandwich is absolutely divine.This is my first time visiting their Tarkington location, and it might just be my favorite! But honestly, all of their locations are fantastic, with friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.It's also a great spot to work from, with easy parking--especially thanks to the nearby park's lot. Ps-- Owned by Tamika Catchings, and if you're lucky, she might just be there when you visit!

I had no idea there were multiple locations until someone sent me a meeting request for this location. It was snow-covered outside when I went but I just know this has a beautiful view in the Spring/Summer of the adjoining park. The staff were super friendly and I loved all the tea and drink options. I especially love that you can customize your milk options and get it sweetened or unsweetened. I also had a tomato basil soup that was really good.

My partner is a big tea drinker and I thought it was finally time to give Tea's Me Cafe a try and I was NOT disappointed. Their menu is filled with all types teas, any way you like it! The breakfast sandwiches are huge and so delicious. You can tell that everything is made fresh to order! The young lady at the register was very helpful when we had questions. The only thing that I thought was odd was that they served my partners hot tea in a glass cup with a straw instead of mug, making it a little difficult to drink. Other than that, our experience was superb!

I've been meaning to stop by here for quite some time. The second location of Teas Me Cafe is conveniently located on the drive to my son's school on the corner of 38th and Illinois Street surrounded by an all-ages park that was installed a few years ago. The street out front also features a bike lane. In the warmer months, the park is bustling- especially with younger kiddos/families.I opted for my Teas Me go-to, the almond orange green tea (hot). I've been fighting a cold and this hot tea worked some serious magic. They offer it both hot and cold and in varying sweetness levels. For what it's worth, I find it so flavorful without any added sugar. The shop also features some coffee drinks, baked goods and an assortment of seating options. One of the best parts of the space is that it features wrap around windows and plenty of natural light making it an ideal spot to take meetings or work for a couple of hours. So great to see this added energy to the neighborhood and looking forward to future visits. Way to go, Tamika and team!

I was disappointed by this café. Although moderately clean and kind staff, the food was very disappointing. The tea was just alright but slightly overpriced. I would go back to try different flavors. The most disappointing thing was the David sandwich lunch meal. It was supposed to be a pesto grilled cheese. It had four slices of cheese that was very cold and not even slightly melted. Although the dressing for the salad was pretty good! I wouldn't recommend this place.

The staff is charming and knowledgeable. The ambiance light and friendly. The food perfect .A light health lunch nice to find in a neighborhood that is basically a food desert. Very pleased to meet the owner and see that she is actively present in her business. The iced chai tea expertly blended. I'll be eating lunch here and often.

The food was good. The service was excellent. The inside was pretty clean. would definitely recommend if you like coffee or tea.

This place is the perfect little neighborhood shop to grab lunch. The atmosphere is a bit cold-more industrial than I think of when I think of tea shop, but it's a small matter. The food is very good and the employees have been kind and extremely pleasant every time I go. Sometimes it takes a little longer to make a sandwich than you might expect but not drastically longer. Just give yourself 5 more minutes than you might usually. Oh and if they have it while you're there get some carrot cake-it's delicious. (I make incredible carrot cake and theirs is better!) The best part however is the amazing neighbor that teas me is. Tamika is often there, being kind and supportive of the people in the community. Indirectly by supporting events and promoting others, and directly by helping kids who come in. I've seen her buy ice cream for runny nosed little kids who wonder in on a slow summer day, she keeps the bathrooms open to park-goers, and just generally makes everyone's day better. I love her and the people who work there. Go support incredible people being incredible and you can do that by eating a sandwich and leaving a generous tip.

Omelette was decent. Waffle was great. Both priced reasonable. The place is great next to a park and a fun vibe. It did take a while for food to come out but servers were nice and friendly.

Wonderful locally owned café. Their food is just enough for a quick bite during a meeting or lunch break. Any of their teas can be hot or iced and they're service is top notch!
