Eli Tea Bar

Looking for a tea-focused cafe that may remind you of your favorite bar? After launching this concept in Birmingham, Michigan, founder Eli Majid expanded to Chicago (where he attended college at Loyola Universiy), settling into Andersonville's bustling Clark Street corridor. Boasting late-ish hours and cozy tables where you can sit down and play chess, Eli Tea Bar is meant provide a booze-free alternative to local LGBTQ+ nightlife. Whether you visit during the day or in the evening, you'll find tea lattes, inventive bubble teas, kombucha on tap and more than 100 loose leaf teas to explore.
