Townshends
July 27, 2011
Once again I find myself ensconced in my favorite plush olive-green chair at my new favorite cafe, Townshends on Alberta.
Townshends is a tea company featuring 84 kinds of hot and iced tea, as well as kombucha, boba, and elixirs. They also have a small food menu, featuring two vegan pot pies from Stone Pie Joe’s for $3.95, and miso soup for $1.50 (although they’re perpetually out of soup).
Two things lure me back:
1. The kombucha. Townshends brews & bottles their own kombucha, and their white rose flavor is the best I’ve ever had. Makes me all tingly in the knees.
2. Between the wooden ceiling beams and the rich umber walls, it’s easy to relax. No perching on a metal chair, feeling conspicuous against a barren backdrop. Plus, they play my high school soundtrack – John Lennon, The Pixies, Iggy & the Stooges.
