Teaism Lafayette Park

Great spot for tea and healthy food, lovely presentation bento box. I had the lightly spicy vegan bean cakes today--Delicious and filling. Incredible selection of teas and tea accessories. Plesant staff. Will take friends there! Great location, tasteful casual decor, lots of windows.

Just like their sister location in Penn Quarter, this Teaism location offers great teas in a space close to the north side of the White House. I do appreciate the addition of outdoor dining space, and they have a cozier interior. The menus are the same, so I would recommend their bento boxes.

First time having Ochazuke in the USA!!! It's like a twist of the original formula (usually there won't be cilantro...), but I still love it! I had it with salmon, and I was satisfied ✨ The tea soup and rice combination is a blessing to a cold day, just that please put less wasabi in my bowl haha. We also had Okonomiyaki with brisket. It was flavorful, but didn't match in my opinion 👀(like eating two dishes) Still tasty, although I would try it with other ingredients next time. It is a small restaurant with fair prices. Would recommend people come in and enjoy a casual Japanese-spirit food with some awesome tea.

Fresh food at an incredibly affordable price point, I was very surprised! The people who work here are super nice and genuine, the food was a bonus!!! I had the lentil soup, chicken curry and boba tea, which were VERY generous portions. Clean restaurant with lots of natural light and comfortable seating made for a great lunch. Dining amongst the men and women that serve our nation’s capitol, our country and the White House, was a new experience for me.

Located about a block from the White House, it's a cute, low-key place to grab a quick bite to eat and even hang out for a while. It has a welcoming, calming, chill teahouse vibe. There is a small menu of really well put together Asian dishes. If the weather allows, there is outdoor seating.

A quick and healthy lunch option with cool vibes and lots of amazing tea options!

My new favorite lunch spot!! Don’t be fooled by the name of the restaurant—it’s not just teas here—there’s a good variety of food options to eat! I’ve been here three times this past month just to try a variety of their dishes and so far have not been let down. Highly recommend the “bento boxes” for lunch—it’s a huge portion with your meat option and three sides. My favorites are the Korean Beef Brisket and Panko Fried Chicken Bento Boxes! If you’re not feeling the bento box style, you can order these as “side dishes” which is a huge portion too. The Thai Chicken Curry is also delicious—tons of chicken meat and well flavored. It’s a cafe style—you order at the register, wait for your food and then bring it to your table. Food comes out fairly quick!

The Korean Beef Brisket Sandwich is absolutely delicious! And it’s huge. Chocolate cookie is also great, would love to come back.
