Restaurant Outreach Update: La Société du Thé

If you like gourmet, loose-leaf tea, make sure to buy from La Société du Thé, an old-world tea salon and shop located at 2708 Lyndale Avenue S, Minneapolis, MN 55408. La Société du Thé is a great place to buy loose-leaf teas or to do some taste-tests in their well-decorated, intimate salon area!

CAA's Restaurant Outreach was also successful in making La Societé dú Thé even more vegan-friendly; the shop now offers vegan baked goods such as scones and muffins, which will go perfectly with any cup!
