Busboys and Poets was an excellent restaurant that is full of great art, many local events, and even a book store. This location is within a Community Collaborative building and you can feel the strong community connection.

There were many different tables for big and small groups as well as bar seating. Service was quick, too. We were a group of 8 who was able to sit immediately during Saturday brunch.

The menu marks foods which are “Gluten Free Friendly” and Vegan. Plus, gluten free bread is available for sandwiches, even though it’s not on the menu. Everyone in our group was happy with our food. Definitely would recommend and we’ll be back!

TShop was an amazing experience! We had a tea tasting with Teresa and could not have asked for a better experience.

While our timing was a little off (we had to wait about fifteen minutes and then went half an hour later than originally scheduled) every other detail was amazing.

Teresa asked about our tea preferences and experiences and curated an individual tea tasting experience, full of interesting history and information. The place is small – there was one other group when we started and another which walked in right before we left, but had the place to ourselves for most of the experience.

We tried Taiwanese, Chinese, and Korean teas, which were each steeped four different times. As we tried each, Teresa shared with us the history and traditions of the teas, the significance behind different practices, and her personal experiences of visiting different tea regions across the world. We will definitely be back 🫖
