Great new fashion district-ish spot for coffee & tea. La Teteria is housed in a creative space similar to Chuy's El Cafe by Primera Taza in Boyle Hts. Look for the Spandex sign on Gladys b/w 7th & 8th, enter through the gate on the left into the outdoor area near the future home of the cafe, walk into the gallery space where the cafe is temporarily housed. The art work on the right is by Jesse.
Chuy & Jesse can expertly guide you through their coffee & tea selections. Jesse really knows his tea -- he worked with Roy Fong, founder/proprietor of San Francisco's Imperial Tea Court, the first traditional Chinese teahouse in America. If you know Chuy from Primera, you know he spends a lot of time in Mexico sourcing his coffee beans. I'm hoping that one day he brings back his lonche de lomo with rolls from Guadalajara.
They're in a soft opening phase, with the grand opening on November 1. Drop by and have great coffee, tea and even better conversations! read more
