Tealuxe Edit

I’ll leave this as a posthumous comment, call it an obituary (if that’s what floats your boat). This was an EXCELLENT concept tealuxe store that offered light meals and lunch downstairs and a tea bar upstairs on a fairly insanely expensive corner store on one of Boston’s most expensive streets: Newbury Street. The staff were kooky and kind, not overbearing condescending butt-crevices teavana staff usually can be. I only had lunch in the basement eatery here twice, but oh what a treat!! They kept bringing me bubble tea one after another with my meal, and I was in HEAVEN. This is also one of the only places that did not serve me extremely bitter bubble tea (as the other, still open in Harvard Sq., Tealuxe does).

So I say to you, dear Newbury Street Tealuxe, R.I.P.!

I adore Tealuxe, and go several times every time I make it to Boston. This Tealuxe features a cafe downstairs, and a shop upstairs. The cafe offers a full tea menu as well as food options ranging from sandwiches to desserts. The shop is fairly standard tea ware as well as bulk loose tea and a counter where you can order tea to go. They keep 2 iced on tap each day as well as a few other options such as chai and/or bubble tea. I got one of my favorite teapots there, and could easily loose hours sitting in the cafe sipping cups from a large pot of tea.
