“From the exterior, Tea Lounge looks like another crammed cafe. Its sheer size will slap you in the face upon entry. Imagine a funky Brooklyn living room, now multiply it by 5, add both a coffee bar, wine bar, performance stage and art gallery and you will begin to understand all that is Tea Lounge.”

At the Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn, when members run afoul of the work requirements, suspension and shame often result.
“…Ms. Colic confided as she sipped blueberry tea one day this summer at the Tea Lounge in Park Slope. “Look, you can see the sign from here,” she said, despondent, pointing to the neon green “Food Coop” shining across Union Street.” -NY Times

“ You can ‘hang for hours’ at Park Slope’s ‘funky’ teahouse twins, where the ‘relaxed vibe’, ‘comfy sofas’ and ‘huge variety’ of ‘high quality’ teas and ‘very good coffee’ have made it a popular destination for ‘laptop-toters, job-hunters’ and ‘hip moms and kids’ by day, and ‘handsome locals (who appreciate the ’great wine and beer selection’) by night; standouts in the snack department are ‘yummy’ bakes goods, sandwiches and soups. ”
