The new Downtown location for ZenCha Tea Salon has been a project four years in the making. And while they don’t have their opening date set just yet (still waiting on a few final inspections), it’s so close that you can almost taste it.
Yesterday evening, the new location was host to a preview party where guests could sample food and tea and take a look at the nearly finished space. The new ZenCha boasts some magnificent “big city” views of Gay Street through their large windowed wall that makes for a very vibrant and urban experience. Grabbing a table by the window is advised for the best people watching.
According to ZenCha Owner Jean Wu, the new location will feature a tea selection and menu very similar to the Short North salon. Once open, the cafe will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 7am to 7pm, Monday through Saturday to start. She said that the hours would likely be revised based on customer feedback.
To take a peek inside the new location, check out the photos below. We’ll share more information on the grand opening once the date is set.
More information can be found online at www.zen-cha.com.
Looks like a pretty space!
Wow. Very attractive space. Another great addition to Downtown and to Gay Street.
The space looks great! Can’t wait to try it out.
Wow! This is really exciting news. For those of us who live/work around Gay Street it’s exciting to have a great Asian food experience added to the mix. I checked out the menu here for the Short North location: http://zen-cha.com/images/foodmenu982.jpg. Hope it’s the same!
There’s a brunch menu posted there — anyone know if they’ll be open for brunch at the Gay Street location?
I have always loved what Ricky Day and Don Devere did with this building. Now it has an amazing purveyor of food and beverage that engages the street and passers-by. Can’t wait for it to open!
Any word on whether or not they’ve opened yet?
Last week they said on Facebook that they’re soft opening this week. I walk by just about every day though, and haven’t seen them open yet.
opening this weekend: Zen-Cha Tea Salon
Yippy!!! Received the occupancy permit and got the green light from the health department. Tomorrow (Friday Aug 10th) we will be live on Gay Street to sell tea and market Soft Opening.
Grand Opening Celebration of Downtown store is Sept 23 2012
