The Tao of Tea

Lovely spot for tea but the food items listed as GF on the menu are not celiac friendly. Five hearts for tea safety, four hearts for food safety.

They were really great about being careful when I told them about my allergy and they talked about extra steps to clean teapots, etc. But every food option I tried to order she came back and told me wasn’t made in a GF facility (including oatmilk if you want chai). Seemed like they might make changes in the future, at least to get some truly GF non-dairy milk options. Call ahead to ask about food or don’t come hungry and just enjoy a cozy spot for tea.

Very supportive and kind about taking extra sanitation and safety measures. Our server asked a lot of great questions and they ended up double sanitizing for me just to get a single cup of tea! Gluten free food items are marked but tea wasn't labeled. I know some matcha and chai have gluten and while I don't think they do here we weren't able to confirm so I got the Golden Monkey and it was amazing! We'll definitely be back for more tea and might try the gf food next time.
