About

Teaism pairs a broad tea and tisane list with counter-service Asian-inspired meals, including a vegan black bean cake bento, tofu glass noodles, and ginger scones. The first floor is wheelchair accessible, and reviewers describe quick service, while several note that bento sides are served cold; the upstairs/downstairs seating and nearby Archives metro make it a practical stop during a day around the Mall.
