Sunny teahouse overlooking Yerba Buena Gardens offers ample sips and Asian-inflected plates.. In Short
A serene Eastern vibe prevails at this elegant, low-key lounge with large glass walls looking out over Yerba Buena Gardens. Staff here takes tea seriously -- the extensive menu offers rare picks like 1993 cultivated menghal select leaves -- but service is as friendly and unpretentious as it comes. Light bites include tea-infused dishes like ginger tofu tea soup and green tea mousse along with curry egg salad sandwiches, edamame with toasted seaweed and rice bowls.
