Their shop I feel like is a little small so when it's busy, can be hard and crowded inside. I do like that they offer different things like bakery items, coffee, ice cream and wine. It was a cute neat spot to go to to hang out with friends and family. Do like that they have real bathroom versus some other places have porter potty.

The menu offers quite a bit of options of coffee drinks, teas, food and even ice cream. MY wife and I went just for coffee, and it was delicious. By the way, it's imported Colombian coffee, and it was great! Staff was friendly and helpful. We were helped by the owners themselves, and they always had a smile, repeated our order back to us, got our order quickly, and checked on us if things were OK. The common areas and restroom were clean and comfortable, and the y did a terrific job with the looks of it. It has its own free parking lot but with limited spots. Overall, 100% recommended and can't wait to return to ty the food menu.

It is in downtown Monroe with street parking and some public parking lots. Our daughter said she has been there around 11:00am and got a spot on the street right in front. It is very eclectic with decor and items for sale. They have indoor seating, seating along entrance hall and outdoor seating. You order at one counter, which has a large menu boards above the counter. The young lady that took our order was very nice. You pay over at the bar area. It was not busy at the time we were there. I had the Salad Sandwich. You can get it with chicken salad, tuna salad or chickLESS salad. I had the chicken salad in a spinach wrap with lettuce and tomato. There are other bread options. The wrap was filled with the chicken salad. It was nicely seasoned and tasted really good. My husband and daughter both did the Pick Your Burger, a build your own. My husband had the burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions and pepper jack cheese. My daughter added bacon, lettuce, grilled onions and provolone cheese. They both said it was a great burger. We enjoyed our food. Definitely will come back.

In addition to serving tea and empowering women and children globally, A Cause For Tea also has a monstrous menu of baked goods (scones, biscuits, etc.) as well as delicious finger sandwiches AND a small shop with loose leaf teas for sale and other tea inspired trinkets and cookbooks. There is a large selection of a variety of teas that can be served individually or in a pot for multiple people. Individual servings come with options to add creams, whip cream, toppings, etc. Scones are huge and the finger sandwiches are delicious. We ordered a pimento cheese scone and the variety selection of finger sandwiches along with a pot of tea. Everything was amazing and we had plenty of scone left over to bring home. The place can get pretty busy, especially when the weather is nice so reservations are recommended. The menu is a little pricey however, remember its for a cause and not just for profit. Plan on plenty of time to unwind, relax and enjoy the time. It's not a place to rush through.
