Reviews for Serenitea Tea Cafe and Boutique in Oak Park, IL

The tea was delicious and the scones are the best I've ever had. The service was impeccable ???? too. I'd go back tomorrow!!

I never thought I'd say this about a teashop, but I am so thankful I made a reservation for afternoon tea! Tracy is an absolute... delight. We ended up talking for hours, as if she had been a good friend for years. I had a cute little table by the frontwindow, and each tea service has its own unique cups and saucers. There was a huge tea selection, so even the pickiest palatescould find something they like. But the food...it was some of the best I have had in a long time! I kept trying the littlesandwiches, waiting to get one I didn't like, but each one was fantastic. The lavender tea cookies were divine, and fresh out ofthe oven. And the afternoon tea was truly a meal on its own- I'm glad I skipped breakfast this morning. Anytime I'm in the areaagain, I am making a reservation. I 100% recommend the experience, so give Tracy a call ASAP! Read more

Great cozy place for tea and food. Full of a charming atmosphere. Fresh baked goods and delicious sandwiches. One of the far... better tea places and a reasonable price! Tea is excellent. Shout out to the lively owners who were very informative. Read more

I had the pleasure of enjoying vegan tea with two friends at Serenitea and it was a lovely experience. Serenitea is a quaint... tearoom on Pleasant Street in Oak Park. They have a wide selection of teas, including authentic Japanese matcha, wine-flavoredteas, and many delightful herbal infusions. I had the Key West herbal infusion, a rooibos blend with tropical fruits, because Ican't handle caffeine after 11am (it keeps me up all night). I pre-requested vegan tea service about a week in advance soTracy, the tea house's proprietor, would have time to gather ingredients. We were served a pretty, three tier plate ofwatercress & cream cheese sandwiches on artisanal bread, herbed mushroom rice in roasted sweet mini-peppers, polenta rounds withsquash, and berry scones with a touch of cinnamon with jam and vegan butter. The scones were the best I have ever had in mylife, golden and crunchy on the outside, delicate, and not too sweet. Of course everything was vegan, however, if you weren'ttold the food was vegan, you would not have the faintest idea. My friend, who likes Japanese teas, purchased matcha and ameasuring spoon. Serenitea also sells teas and tea accessories. Serenitea is highly recommended. It's relaxing and fun. Teawith friends is a soothing ritual that shouldn't be relegated to the realm of tradition and nostalgia. At $30, Serenitea is alsohalf the price of tea at the Ritz Carlton. If you are in the Chicago area, don't miss it. Read more
