About two years ago, we brought you the news that a new cafe, Teaful Bliss, would be opening at the corner of 11th & Spring Garden. This seemed to make a lot of sense to us, as the neighborhood to the north was experiencing a revival and the surrounding blocks of Spring Garden Street were seeing several new businesses pop up at that time. Unfortunately, the shop closed earlier this year and we figured it was the end for Teaful Bliss.

Former space now for rent

But a reader gave us the great news the other day that Teaful Bliss has been reincarnated! In Brewerytown! We passed by their new digs at 918 N 28th St. the other day, and were pleased to see that the place has indeed been reborn across town. Their new space is larger than the old one, and offers beverages, sandwiches, and salads. They also apparently do a little catering, if you’re interested.

The new space

Across the street

The new tea house sits directly across the street from a rehab we first told you about nearly a year ago. Work is still ongoing here, but should be wrapping up soon on three rental apartments. Thankfully, the developers were willing/able to preserve the mansard, which makes this building one of the more interesting on the block. Back when the renovation work started, we were hoping that the stucco would be taken off and for the bricks to be repointed, but alas sometimes dreams don’t come true. Honestly, we’re just glad the building was able to be preserved in any capacity. And for the folks who will soon be moving into the building, they should be glad that they have a nice little cafe across the street.
