Description:
Shangrila Tea Room is not your proper English tea house. It's more Zen than Brit. The vibe is relaxed, the tea is hand crafted by owner Toni. The food is eclectic vegetarian. And the view of the Boise Foothills is one of the best in town. Toni is a sweet, hippie-ish woman with a ponytail who creates teas for healing and uplifting purposes. Tell her how you feel today and she'll recommend just the right cup. She might even give you a complete diagnosis of your ailments. She will definitely have a tea to promote healing. She also sells bulk teas and tea pots for you to take home for your own tea ceremonies. The food here is so delicious that even non-vegetarians won't mind eating their tofu and sprouts. It's created with the same attention and care as the tea. And the atmosphere is friendly. No one will kick you out if you want to spend an hour drinking your personal pot of tea and reading your book or staring at the mountains.
