Buena Vida Tea Bar & Garden Reviews
Excellent High Tea on Montana Avenue.
Great owner and staff. Relaxing atmosphere. Delicious teas and food.
A jewel on our neighborhood! Highly recommended.
Stopped by, this morning, for scones and tea. Everything was delicious and the service was impeccable. Can’t wait to do a full tea in their back garden.
I want to give a shout out to the Buena Vida Tea Bar And Garden on Montana Ave. It will restore your faith in our town - bringing back the homeyness of old-time Montana. And a lovely brewed cup of tea and a freshly baked cookie costs less than a trip to a chain coffee house.
