Pineapple Blossom Tea Room

Believe me I wanted to LOVE this place. Even before I walked in the door I’d read so many great reviews on Unilocal that my heart was set on «Love It!» mode.
Upon entering I instantly felt a connection to the modest yet charming allure of the place reminding me of someone’s house more than a restaurant. I was greeted warmly by the owner and handed a menu.
After carefully examining of said menu I went with a turkey and brie wrap (Ramon C knows it’s all about turkey and brie). There was a gentleman at the neighboring table and he had gotten their lemonade. This was a greenish concoction reminding me of Miami Juice’s frozen mint lemonade and I knew I had to +1 that asap.
The lemonade was a juice/​smoothie hybrid and was refreshingly perfect, this could salvation in a glass for steamy, summer days.
My wrap arrived looking delightfully, healthy and plump (hermoso). I took the first bite expecting one of those life-​affirming love at first bite moments. Instead, I was met with mild disappointment and a wth moment? Yes Stewie would have been «What the Deuce”-ing this up and down. I tried a couple more bites before performing a sandwich dissection to seek out the culprit of the bitter, coffe-​esque taste that was messing up my lunch’s juju. Sadly, there was no one guilty culprit instead it seemed there were many accomplices and no one was going to step forward. I ignored the other half and asked for dessert.
The owner seemed upset at my less than loving experience. Her concern was reassuring and showed a real interest in providing a good meal for all.
I ordered dessert thinking I could end it on a sugar high. This was not the case as I ordered some bananapolo dessert expecting bananas, soft cake, and some toffee. I got everything I thought plus the surprise of having it be almost frozen. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t my cup of tea.
When I went to pay the check I was told the wrap had been removed from my tab. I was pleasantly surprised and genuinely touched as I had not asked for it to be removed.
A generous and gracious act merits a return visit to this lovely bistro. After-​all some of the greatest loves have rocky starts.

crappy location, but understandable. I’d hate to see a «corporate» version of a place like this in a trendy area. That said, the tea service is wonderful. A great place to read, or eavesdrop on conversations… unless you get a couple of always busy, do nothing government bores. Come on people, how about conversations about the meaning of life. This place is screaming for it. The owner is very pleasant and makes you feel welcome. Enjoy

This is truly a little gem. It is hard to find but once you do, get ready for a zen experience. The Tea menu is extensive I tried a excellent mint tea (also you get a whole pot). The sandwiches are amazing. Really interesting combinations of fresh ingredients that you will crave more of. If you want something different for a nice relaxing meal try this restaurant.

LOVE THIS PLACE! I finally got a chance to check it out today. I’m so happy they were able to survive all the hassles of being on Biscayne with all of the endless construction. It’s been a death blow to many businesses. WAY TO GO CITY OF MIAMI!
Anyway, I had a delicious shrimp salad in chipotle sauce with fetta cheese. I tried a wrap as well, and that was good too!
I wish the place was a little bit larger and had a bar element to it. I’m not much of a tea drinker, but beer; me likes. I did try the ginger-​pomegranate iced tea, and it was pretty darn good. So, can’t complain. End result: I’m a fan!

Wraps were as great as I hoped they’d be. Everything was fresh and the portion was huge.
Came with a side of cut carambola star fruit.
As before the tea was undeniably the real deal and the service was great.

What a great experience!: This is a quaint little tea room right on Biscayne. Look for the pineapple yellow building just by the NE 82^nd St stoplight on the west side. The pastries are awesome and «taking tea» is such a neat experience. This little tea room bills itself as a tea room with a tropical flair. Did I mention how unbelievable the pastries are??? Try the passion fruit tarts on the Caribbean tea service. Scrumptious!

Local tea house offering an English and Caribbean style tea room atmosphere. There’s food choices of wraps, salads and soups. And of course, the things to talk about here are the tea choices. Great place to rewind and have some tea with friends.
