    My friend and I came here and were immediately seated at a small table close to the front. We needed to talk business and of course eat some good food😋 the table was only large enough to have my computer out before the food came. I ordered a margarita, the Crab & egg croissant and a side of potatoes and She got the Belgian waffles with strawberries and the Shrimp & grits. ▪️Crab & egg croissant: 6/10 ⭐️ I personally thought it was lacking crab meat ▪️Potatoes: 10/10⭐️ ▪️Belgian waffles: 9/10⭐️ ▪️ Shrimp & grits: 9/10⭐️

    My friend and I went for a brunch today on MLK day. We were seated immediately on a small and cute table in the back. The place was clean, cozy and nice vibe. We ordered the Banana French toast, Red velvet pancakes( my favorite ❤️) and also the omelette with Goat cheese.I tried the Honey Lavender Latte which was really good. I wasn’t able finish my latte because my sweater didn’t let me😂😅.Our waitress( Denira) was very pleasant and helpful. I apologize if I misspelled the name. I plan to come back with more friends 😂❤️

    This was my first time here. My friend brought me here knowing I love tea. The food here deserves 5 stars but my server deserves 1 star. The food was exceptional, cooked perfectly, extremely tasty and perfect portions. I tried the infused sangria and it was very good. I love the plethora of tea options available. Pricing is fair but they add an automatic 18% gratuity. I never mind tipping a server (mostly over 18%), but I expect a decent service in return. My server was short in conversation and quite rude. In addition, she wasn't attentive and she seemed bothered with an attitude. She definitely acted like she was guaranteed a gratuity, so her performance didn't matter. As a first time customer, I felt unwelcomed and slightly uncomfortable. I'm on the fence of returning because the food was exceptional, but I definitely don't want that server again, ever.

    I am a tea girlie and let me tell you…. The selection here is on point. I’m so happy they kept their trend since teavana’s aren’t a thing anymore. The service here is also unmatched!! One of THE BEST places I have been to. They are super attentive and kind. Also the food came out super fast. Speaking of the food; I had the French toast (banana foster). It was good, but just good. I would’ve preferred the bananas cooked, but all in all they were good. The sides left a little to be desired though. The eggs were a little on the watery side, and the Turkey sausage was a bit dry. All in all, still a great place. Wonderful staff and service and fantastic Tea!!

    I drove all the way from Toronto to attend the funeral ceremony of a dear friend's mum. Ofcourse she offered me brunch the next day, and Teavolve was the place. I would say, this is one of the best restaurants I ever stepped in. From the warm reception at the entrance, to the ambience of the place and the taste and quality of the food, everything was beautiful. The background music was great, the servers were very polite and readily available at your service. I ordered the Shrimp&Grit, and that's definitely one of the best decisions of my life. I think it's the best shrimp & grit you can ever get, excellent dish. It was so good I had to personally request to take a picture of the chef and personally thank her. Highly recommended. My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves, rest assured that anytime am in Baltimore, I'll make it a "ritual" to always stop by and eat here. I have also recommended this place to friends in CANADA 🇨🇦. Thank you Teavolve, for changing my life forever. You are my number one spot in Baltimore. Highly recommended 👌

    Teavolve overall was a good choice for breakfast. The restaurant was comfortable and was on par with the surrounding area. We were pleased with the service and food. Everything was very tasty and seasoned appropriately. The red velvet pancakes were thin but delicious. We would return and recommend to others in the Bmore area.

    Delucious food and quick service. I ordered the Veggie Omlette which came with potatoes and fruit. This was the perfect combination. I also ordered the red velvet pancakes which were good. I needed extra cream cheese for the other layer of pancakes. I ordered the Salted Caramel Mocha Latte with oat milk. I didn't like it, but the ingredients sounded good. Overall, i was very pleased with my meal.

    Easily one of my favorite brunch spots in the city. It’s never really too crowded and the food is always good. The shrimp and grits is my go to every single time. Also you can’t go wrong with the potatoes or the seafood omelette. Even the French toast and waffles are a hit. They have a good selection of coffee drinks and teas as well as some boozy options. Check them out.

    Disclaimer…we did not order tea so can’t speak to the level of their tea which I assume is on point. Their menu is full of pretty good choices ranging from breakfast all the way to dinner. Prices are average for the area and quality is also average. Their coffee was good but I don’t recommend their sweet coffee drinks unless you have a high tolerance. I couldn’t finish my latte because it was too sweet. Tasty but very sweet. The place it’s is spacious with lots of tables spread out. Overall definitely could recommend.

    Pretty large venue right by the river a little further out of Fells. Great and quick service as were able to walk in with a large group. Pretty good pricing and amount of food. Got a crabs benedict which was delicious and a pumpkin chai latte. Loved the drinks and they had soo many options. Nice place overall and recommend.

    My wife and I had a wonderful Saturday brunch. She had the Shrimp & Grits, I had the Eden Omelet and we shared the Cinnamon Apple French Toast. The food was high quality and prepared quickly and the service was excellent.

    I came to brunch as invited by a business contact and had one of the most quiant brunch experiences of my life, especially in Baltimore. It wasn’t crowded, the food and options were exquisite and the pricing was adequate. I was able to get work done, watch some Hitman Reborn and chat with my business contact when they arrived. I will be back whenever I am showing an out of town friend Baltimore or want to have another business brunch.

    The honey lavender latte had me at hello. It had me so much, I came back the next day for more!! My friend had the drunken chai latte, which was also a banger! My server Denier was awesome!! I also had the veggie wrap with chips. I wish they had fries, but the wrap and chips were filling. I highly recommend it.

    This place is fantastic! Quite possibly the best shrimp and grits I've ever had! Sorry I didn't take a picture of the shrimp and grits before I started eating them! They were too enticing to resist. Just outside of Little Italy, the food is wonderful, and they have a wide selection of loose leaf teas which are hard to find. We only had about 30 or 45 minutes to eat. Even though they were very busy, they seated us, served us an excellent meal with fresh loose leaf tea, and we paid in about 35 minutes. It was shocking how efficient they were! We didn't even tell them we were in a hurry, this is just how in tune they are with their customers. I could tell that many people were not in a rush and they were not being rushed. This place has a really great vibe, excellent attention to detail, and are very attentive to their patrons. My family and I will definitely be back frequently.

    We’ve been coming here on occasion for a few years. They are very consistent with their service and food! Our more recent visit was Mother’s Day. While they don’t accept reservations, they were friendly and accommodating of our family of 7. The hostess kept us updated when a table would be available- quite honestly, with a family our size we are used to about an hour wait. The great service continued inside our server was prompt and helpful in making sure our orders were taken and came out in a timely manner. I ordered the shrimp and grits with turkey bacon substitute and the veggie omelette. Other members of our family ordered red velvet pancakes, salmon omelette, apple cinnamon French toast, and of course - teas! Everything was delicious!

    Teavolve was recommended by one of the sales associates in a store I visited. I'm glad she gave us the suggestion b/c it was delicious. The service is super fast and the friendliness of the staff is superb. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and sent to a table. A gentleman immediately brought us water, and soon a waitress was over to get drink orders and answer questions. She gave her opinions of dishes, suggestions to order, and answered any questions we had. I had grits, eggs, bacon, and potatoes. My friend had the Carolina shrimp and grits. Get the grits. You will not regret it. We both left satisfied and said that we wouldn't mind coming back for more.

    I came here as a pit stop from Ny and ordered a veggie panini with Elderberry tea. The sandwich was delicious, very flavorful as well as the tea. My customer service experience was excellent, the host and waitress was very friendly. Thank you Tiffany for your awesome service.

  • 5/5 JaMelle M. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved this place! Our family of 7 was very comfortable (2 adults, 5 kids 4-11). The menu had a great combination of healthy choices and indulgent items. My husband loved the shrimp & grits, kids loved the Red Velvet pancakes, Chocoholics Choice, and Chicken & Waffles. The tea selection is amazing we tried a few and got loose teas to go. I’m not a coffee drinker but really enjoyed the Honey Lavender Latte. Our waitress was amazing! She was well versed on the menu, made excellent recommendations, and was very kind. I highly recommend Teavolve and will definitely visit again!

    We came here after Saturday Morning Cafe never called us for our reservation with them— and they did us a favor. The food was phenomenal, space was cute and hip, plenty of options and so affordable. I’m not local, but if I’m ever back in the area I will be coming back! Waitress was attentive and kind & food 10/10.

    Nice spot and easy to walk by, but worth stopping. The Crabs Benny is very taste, eggs we cooked just right. Good layer of crab, good balance of flavors.

  • 5/5 Shannon 2 years ago on Google
    The red velvet cake latte is one of the best drinks I've gotten. It's so good it's almost worth driving to Baltimore for by itself; adding in friends this place is perfect. It's not overly crowded and the staff is friendly.

  • 5/5 Sean S. 2 years ago on Google
    Teavolve is definitely a brunch evolution. Food and ambiance comes together for a great culinary experience. Starting with a picture of peach sangria and one of their signature lattes, my appetite was ready for everything Teavolve had to offer. I tried the bananas foster french toast, cheddar grits, roasted potatoes, and the baked cayenne wings garnished with spinach and blue cheese crumbles. The french toast was sweet enough not needing syrup as well as the caramelized bananas were a great touch. The roasted potatoes were seasoned perfectly but the cheddar grits needed a touch of salt to bring out its best potential. The baked cayenne wings' surprising crispy texture were a real highlight to the entire brunch. With enough spice, not too saucy, and the perfect garnish, the cayenne wings were a hit. Overall Teavolve made sure to deliver a correlation between taste, quality, cost, and experience.

    Great food, great service, clean, hot & fresh food, tasty dishes, and great staff. Cocktails were cocktailing ....lol..My husband and I recommend this spot. I had a salmon omelette (with egg whites) platter and he had a waffle with potatoes. Great location with adequate street parking.

    I personally prefer cafes that you don't need to be seated, not have a waiter, and do not need to ask for a check. Besides that, the drink I had mango matcha madness was great and my friends drink, the strabery bubble tea was decent. It's a bit loud, and there aren't many people watching to do given the location. Overall, it's a decent cafe, but nothing too special.
