Court Street Tea Lounge: Now With 90 Percent Less Strollers
Gowanus Lounge visited the new Tea Lounge on Court Street this weekend and found the same menu of teas and coffees familiar to Park Slope Tea Loungers. We noticed, however, that TL's new Cobble Hill digs were remarkably free of both strollers, their occupants and their pushers. Whether this holds true for weekdays, we don't know. We can only say it was true around 3:30 on Saturday. We did notice a couple of things about the new TL: First, it's the smallest space of the three Tea Lounges and when it does fill up, it's going to fill up fast. Second, there was a steady stream of Cobble Hill residents coming up to the front window and reading the items and review posted about the Tea Lounge, as though they'd never heard of it before. Most--including several stroller moms--glanced at the reviews and moved on. Maybe, the Cobble Hill crowd doesn't make it over to Park Slope much?

I was there over the weekend also. The staff, though friendly and trying to be helpful were pretty disorganized. A conversation about some ladies hat took precedent over the long line forming...I know it's supposed to be a a relaxing tea lounge but sometimes you just want your coffee - while the casual conversations continue of course. Let's face it, there's a trick in doing both and the staff seemed swamped and not totally in tune with things. Let's hope it improves and they don't loose business because of the slightly too-uber laid back attitude.
I live around the corner from this disaster. I only take comfort in the fact that this is one of those "cursed" spaces. Nothing lasts very long here. I predict it will fill up with the uberboobers once the weather turns cold. Right now they are all over in Cobble Hill park.
