Bubble tea is old news, but hipster tea rooms are forever! Josh and I had brunch at the Roebling Tea Room this past weekend and we are such dorks that we ordered drip coffee. But they have a huge selection of loose teas and wacky drinks like chai with a shot of espresso served in pint glasses. Their waitstaff is friendly in that cute from far away but not upclose kind of way. When we played the, "who would you make out with in this room" game, we really couldn't find anyone. So we had to settle with eating our food. I hadn't eaten all day and it was way past noon, so I wanted a hearty dish. I chose the frittata, but when it came, I thought it was a huge wedge of yellow cheesecake. Studded with bacon bits and gruyere it was filling if not a bit too dense. We shared the beet goat cheese salad. It tasted like good old goat cheese, greens and beets. Go figure. Josh went out on a limb and ordered the vegetarian bratwurst. I'm not sure why he got the meatless one, but it was good. It tasted more like a textured protein veggie sausage than a smooth plasticky hotdog, so it seemed satisfying.
Overall, I dug the place. The decoration isn't over done, the space is huge, so there wasn't much wait. It was loud but what isn't at 2 on a Sunday? It's so close to Josh's place I better like it because we'll be going there a lot.
