The teahouse was a gift from Boulder's Sister City...and we played in the final fundraising concert to finish our gift of a cyber cafe back for them! Their tea list is a mile long, but our favorite is the house chai, hot or iced.

We love walking to Proto's from the house and sitting on their patio for sangria (red or white), special arugula salad (weekends only), and then a thin, crispy, hot from the brick oven pizza. Mix the oil and vinegar on your plate and dip with each bite. Faves = Randy: Atomica, Amy: Low Rider, Eliza: Margherita.
