infusion tea

i'm so glad i didn't let the negative reviews change my decision to try this place! my friend and i had agreatexperience - the meal was delicious and the service was totally professional (as well as courteous). i'll definitely be back!

rude owner. we are regular customers. the food isgreatbut a recent incident questions my loyalty. basically, he did not think out what would happen if you take the entire inside to a huge party and leave only outside seating. the storm clouds were rolling in and he had no seats. when questioned he shrugged his shoulders and walked off. at first we were going to get the food to go but i wanted my money back. he refunded the bill but left the tip on there. really, after your mouth ran you would do that? redeeming grace was the blonde hair young lady who came out and talked to my wife. once again i point out we are regulars and expected more than just his shrug and rude tone.

outstanding!!greatservice, atmosphere, and food.

you won't miss the meat, mostly nice staff. we had a groupon for this restaurant that gave us a pot of tea, 2 entrees and 2 gelatos. it was agreatdeal. this is a vegetarian restaurant with lots of vegan options. but meat eaters won't miss the meat, everything is so tasty and there are plenty of egg and cheese dishes.
we arrived around 12:30 on a saturday afternoon. the place was busy. they have some outside seating in front with umbrellas for shade and a white trellis for separation from the street. inside, they have some two-person high top tables and some small square tables. they really need more seating because this place is popular. the store is nicely decorated and feels like a garden decor store and is quiet enough for a decent conversation.
you stand in line and order at the front counter. behind the counter are several long rows of tea jars with all kinds of teas. we had the muladahra black, a smooth black tea with a medium body and a hint of honey. it came in a very large tea pot with enough tea for about 5 of their large cups.
the perky lady behind the counter was very patient and very helpful. we ordered the quiche of the day (broccoli and cheddar) and the mushroom and spinach quesadilla.
when it's ready, the food is brought to your table by a guy that seems overwhelmed. he was the only person there not smiling.
the quiche comes with a small, very nice baby leaf salad. while the quiche was good, it was just ordinary. the quesadilla, however, was large, very good, and full of flavor. and the smells of the vegetarian tempeh chili from the next table were wonderful. we finished with a small bowl filled with gelato. at first it looked tiny, but the bowl seemed to have no bottom. we could not finish them. the dark chocolate was a chocolate lovers dream and the cappuccino was tasty. the only disappointment was the tiramisu which was kind of bland -- more like a creamy vanilla.
i talked with the lady at the front counter and she said they are typically much busier for lunch than for dinner. we will definitely be back.
for the lonely guys, this place is filled with women. go by and ask to share a table.

atmosphere...amazing. as a first time visitor of infusion tea, i enjoy the place. it's like a starbucks but without the "being on every corner"-ness. the only problem i have is that its far from my location and in order for me to get here i will have to take a bus or bike here, which i don't mind doing. the inside has a very relaxing atmosphere, not too many people. i've come on a day where a lot of female continue to enter. i believe its just the time of day or just the day. well, as i typed this a male just walked in. either way, the place is worth visiting if you want to get away from all the outside noise. really, i can't hear much of the outside, just the sound of the store music which completes the atmosphere. also, the cashier, who's name i didn't get, was agreathelp with me being a newcomer. the tea is made free leaf style, which is the best way of making tea. there are 80 different choices of teas and organic teas. there are also vegan options when it comes to edibles. there is also gelato, which i believe was my first time having. if i had it before, i don't remember because i don't have it often. that was delicious as well. i'd rate it a 10 of 10, because that is how much i enjoy this place.

absolutely wonderful :dgreatfood, good service, abundance of quality loose-leaf teas, decent prices. i'd love to come here every time i'm in orlando.

great vegetarian food, iffy staff. the food and tea selection here is heaven for a vegetarian. the cucumber sandwich is yummy. the hummus/salsa/tabouleh (cheese the day i got it because they were out of tabouleh) platter was agreatstarter. the hummus had some subtly effective flavors. the potato taco is only o.k. the eggplant sandwich is quite hearty with strong flavors. the tea of the day comes with free refills, though this isn't advertised anywhere that i can see and i only found out on my fifth visit. the only drawback is that the staff can frequently seem standoffish and disinterested. i've often felt like i was bothering the staff by ordering. the owners definitely need to get a friendlier staff.

one of a kind place.... love this shop.greatfood, lot's of awesome tea and cool people working there.
and where else can you find suchgreatvariety of desserts by chocolate provocateur!!!

one of my favorites in orlando!. this was my number one lunch spot when i worked in orlando. it combines two of my favorite past times...good food....great handmade items. yes, it has a cooperative gallery in the same space. it is agreatplace for gifts!

ok, back to the food! the serving sizes are reasonable! yes, they are what a normal serving size should be and i for one appreciate that! the food is well thought out . nutritionally it is well balanced, and it is always fresh. they strive to use the cleanest food they can. it is often organic.

i love the quiche. it is so creamy and light. my only complaint is they often run out, or don't have it ready for lunch. the corn chowder is almost as good as mine! the menu changes seasonally so they are keep their menu alive and ever changing. truthfully, i have never had a dish here that wasn't wonderful.

they have the largest tea selection i have seen in florida. the staff is very knowledgeable about the selection and makegreatrecommendations.

the owners are a young couple just starting a family. this is the kind of place i like to support! we want infusion tea in lakeland!

the best vegetarian food.greattea.

love infusion tea! nice people,greattea, and gabs lived the chocolate gelato

family run,greattea. in a city that's overrun with chains, infusion tea is a breath of fresh air. as the name would suggest, they use infusion tea pots to brew and have a nice assortment of foods. infusion is agreatlittle spot for a tremendous cup (or two) of tea.

yum. my favorite tea is winter mint roobois and the cashew nut wrap is awesome! it is fun to shop at the cottage industry, too. agreatplace!

great alternative to starbucks. there is agreatclose knit neighborhood vibe here. if you have nothing to do on a slow day, grab your best girlfriend, order some drinks and dish out your best gossip.
