I grabbed lunch and it was a bit chaotic but the food was delicious! I sat downstairs and it’s pretty chill

Ordered takeout from Teaism after enjoying a great lunch there recently, and it didn’t disappoint. I went with the broccoli tots, which is always a dependable favorite with that seasoned ranch.

I decided to try something new: the Korean Beef sandwich. Flavorful, a little messy, and the Thai basil added a bright, unexpected touch. I also ordered the butterfly pea yuzu lemonade, which was delicious and stunning. When butterfly pea flower hits citrus, it shifts from blue to a gorgeous purple-pink, and this drink delivered that moment perfectly.

The only downside was the missing napkins and utensils, even though I requested them in the notes. My colleague ordered broccoli tots and a lentil soup she enjoyed (a bit spicy!), but her order arrived without a spoon.

Even with the hiccup, Teaism remains one of my go-to spots when I’m craving Asian-inspired comfort food.

Cozy restaurant with delicious fusion food and amazing teas. The worker replaced a tea that I did not like (of his own accord). I was very surprised and appreciative. Highly recommend.

Bento box was decent, though the salmon was burnt and the flavor was kinda meh. The ginger limeade was top tier, bringing up the rating. I would return for the drinks. Feeling full: meh, I am no longer hungry, I don't feel full.

My friend and I stopped by on a hot day to get some iced tea, and I was so pleased to see that there was a vegan dessert item! The ginger scones were good.

Pros: quick service, lots of options on menu, two floors, wifi, peaceful place to study or work.

Cons: snacks can be stale or hard (my croissant was basically a rock), not enough tables upstairs and downstairs, Acsesibility does not exist if you want to go downstairs, seems a little claustrophobic maybe that’s just me. The tea can be a hit or miss depending on what you order

The ginger scones were my favorite. I also really liked their bubble tea. I did not love the oatmeal cookies, and would pass on those next time.

NICE CHANGE OF PACE.

Grabbed lunch one day with colleagues while traveling in DC. I branched out and tried a Benton Bowl. It was different but good.

This tea shop located very close to the Archive-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter metro station and the National Mall. They have a great selection of teas at an affordable price. Plus, they also service food. Would recommend trying it out if you're ever in the area.
