Tea's Me

It's almost an embarrassment of riches that we have 2 fabulous tea houses in Indianapolis. Yes, we know that there are even more places that do a tea service, but these are spots that we feel like cool urbanites in, not like we're in the middle of a Beatrix Potter illustration. We've raved about International Tea and Coffee so we need to give equal time to Tea's Me. We go way back with Tea's Me Cafe. For a brief time, they had a tiny spot in the Fashion Mall that provided a much appreciated respite from the bustle of the mall. For awhile now they have been in a wonderful space in the absolutely charming Fall Creek neighborhood. You can't help but be impressed by the beauty of the cafe as soon as you walk inside. The gorgeous wood matched with the yellow walls creates a stunning interior. There is a TV and there are magazines to peruse if you wish. It is usually hopping when we are there and there are frequently groups of people seeming to have important meetings-even on Saturdays. They have a huge variety of tea and a nice variety of food too. You can check out the tea and food menus on their website at http://www.teasmecafe.com/ We love that we get our own pretty colored pot of tea and a clear cup with a saucer so we can admire the color of the tea. We love that the owner checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying our tea and apologized because there was a slight wait since the place was so busy. In short, we love Tea's Me. We only wish that we lived closer to it since we don't get there as often as we'd liked. Those adorable Fall Creek houses are looking more and more inviting...
