Buena Vida Tea Bar & Garden

Small but adorable tea garden with excellent empanadas instead of tea sandwiches. Original tea blends and excellent service. From their website:
Tea is a sensation, an experience, a journey to wellness, comfort, tranquility and the good life – The Buena Vida!
Buena Vida Tea Bar & Garden is our mutual exploration of exceptional loose leaf teas and the best ways to enjoy them. As a food & wine connoisseur I invite you to join the Buena Vida Tearistas and myself as we seek out the full spectrum of flavor and function that only tea can offer. We are dedicated to discovering the best teas, perfectly steeped to extract the full potential of each curated tea.
Buena Vida Tea is a way of life and a luxurious expression of how we each live our own individual “buena vidas”.
I invite you, with gratitude, to join me on this journey.
~ Mayra Vazquez, Tearista & Founder

This lovely tea garden has a deceptively narrow entrance that hides a beautifully clean and cheerful counter and kitchen, populated by a cheerful staff. Venture further in and the shop widens into a delightful hidden garden with tables and chairs, decorated in California-style art nouveau-esque greenery. The tea is served in glass teapots so that you can really appreciate the visual complexity. The empanadas and other tea snacks are very tasty. I highly recommend this tea garden for an outing with friends, family, or just yourself for care and comfort.
