After dinner at Shoku, we decided to walk east along West Broadway. During our walk, we were pointing out restaurants we had yet to try. Then, we spotted that the tea shop on the corner of West Broadway and Laurel Street has well-lit signs that they are open until 9:00 PM. This shop is usually closed.
Tea Cups from Ele Presso Café |
We entered Ele Presso Café and were overwhelmed by the 73 unique teas offered. My husband chose the Pina Colara under fruit tea, while I picked the Arabian camomile because I needed to sleep.
Tea Time at Ele Presso Café |
While waiting for the customer in front of me to finish her transaction, I spotted a chocolate cake, which was a winner. They are from Bisou Bakery. The owner and I chatted a bit and asked if we had been here before, and I told him it was our first time. He said he won't charge us for the tea since we enjoyed it in-store.
Arabian Camomile and Pina Colada Tea from Ele Presso Café |
The tea arrived in a tea press container, and we could choose a mug from the counter to use. There were adorable tea cups and plates. I absolutely enjoyed the experience. It's like being a kid again, playing tea with my Barbie.

We spent 15 minutes here just enjoying the ambiance and experience. I hope they offer an Afternoon High Tea because that will be amazing.
