I loved the Mediterranean chicken club on rosemary bread. I am not a coffee drinker so it is a pleasure to go here and have so many teas to choose from. The owner is so knowledgeable that she can create special blends tailored to your individual tastes or even your mood at the moment. Having it presented in a 2 or 4 serving teapot is a bonus. You have your choice of being seated in three different areas that all surround you with art from either the permanent collection of the Waterloo Center for the Arts or selections from current exhibitions. You can order carry out as I often have to but try to dine in for a calm relaxing experience to carry you through the rest of the day. Features vegetarian and vegan dishes and an extensive list of teas. A bonus: tea leaves can be purchased to take home and brew yourself.

Awesome, unique place in downtown Waterloo. Great selections of tea, adorable presentation, and nice, healthy menu. Totally want to go back and work my way through the menu.
Waterloo needs more places like this. Take your tea and go sit with a view of the river, too!
