infusion tea

infusion tea in College Park on Edgewater Drive is a minimalist tea shop with an Ikea-like feel. I couldn't leave Orlando without writing about this place because it is associated with some very good friends and mostly good memories. Usually "great good places" are rooted in the coffee industry and so infusion is nice alternative to the coffee shop. It's clean, fresh decor makes it a refreshing place to spend time.

Aside from tea, infusion serves an excellent gazpacho that is great on a hot Orlando day. The food here is fresh, tasty and vegan friendly. Pizzas, Panini's and Whole wheat wraps always go well with a cup of Moroccan Mint Tea.

There is also a small local artist's co-op where a few of my friends sale their artwork. The community at infusion is definitely not as hip as other places in town but I'm not really very hip anymore either so that works well for me. The service has not always been great as some of the help seems young and at time distracted but they are always friendly. At times there have been large meetings and I have not been able to focus on academic work here at infusion but today has been great and I found a quiet table near a power outlet.

Located in this trendy section of Orlando, infustion tea is a great place to meet a friend although the friends that I would always meet here now live in places like Philadelphia and Paris. It is always a great place to come write a blog entry or use the free wi-fi.
