Destination Tea Notes: East meets West at Bubble & Co.’s “high tea brunch.” Firstly, this is not your everyday bubble tea shop. Here the cups and straws are biodegradable, organic loose-leaf teas and real fruits replace powders and artificial flavorings, and the British-inspired tea menu is made fresh on premises. Furnished with sleek glossy tables, geometric pendants and floor-to-ceiling framed mirrors, Bubble & Co. is Instagram-ready, but this business goes beyond good looks. Manager Tony Blocker enthuses that Bubble & Co. operates by an eco-conscious ethos and strives to create community, for example, by encouraging customers to post an uplifting message on their wishing tree wall and share a message they find there on social media.  We especially appreciate that a Millennial-run tea shop offers an afternoon tea service, connecting the past to the future by introducing the custom to younger generations.

Tea Service

A tempting variety of black, green, white and herbal tea choices.

We choose two caffeine-free tisanes by Art of Tea: Vanilla Berry Truffle – a rooibos with hibiscus, black currants and white chocolate and Lemon Meringue – a green rooibos with orange peel, rose petals and cornflowers. We already know we love these teas, which are served steeping in beautiful floral china teapots, to be strained at the table into modern glass mugs.

Scones & Spreads, Savories and Sweets

tea sandwiches at Bubble & Co. Tea Bar afternoon tea
Served on fresh bread from Whole Foods, the tea sandwiches include dill and smoked salmon, chives and cucumber, and strawberry with sweet cream. Nicely sized, these finger sandwiches disappear quickly, and we remark at the freshness of the strawberries.
scones and quiche Bubble & Co. Tea Bar afternoon tea
Homemade clotted cream is served with airy scones and preserves. The homemade quiches are egg and spinach.

Dessert is a selection of homemade fruit tarts, including a decadent chocolate tart and Angela’s favorite, a zesty key lime tart. The meal is finished with two chillers: salted caramel and oreo (not pictured).
Check out the selection of cast iron and china teapots, as well as three-tiered trays for sale.
