If you’ve been following my posts
lately, you know that Hamlin Park is the neighborhood I’m making my home and
staying active in. Every good neighborhood has at least one place that’s “the
spot” where a variety of folks in the community gather to relax, grab some
coffee/food, socialize, and have a good time. That spot in Hamlin Park is
unquestionably the E.M. Tea Coffee Cup in Hamlin Park on the corner of Oakgrove
and Hughes Avenue.
The family owned and
operated business has been serving up great coffee and delicious food in Hamlin
Park for nearly 15 years and provides a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. It’s the
kind of place where if you go enough, the regulars and the employees know you
by name.
Proprietors, Wil and Kat
Tyler along with Kat’s son Sterling, run the day-to-day operations and have recently
remodeled for an even cozier venue. In addition to their fantastic offerings,
the café hosts live music as often as possible. The next event is a poetry
slam, taking place on January 3rd, starting at 8:30pm.
All the food is made fresh
to order and the café offers great baked goods made in house daily. The
breakfast sandwiches are a great start to the day and served on flaky
croissants. Lunch offerings are expansive and I’ve been making my way through
the menu from the fish fry to the hoagies and everything in between. If you’re
thinking about a special occasion you may also want to consider their homemade
chocolate covered strawberries, which you have to order at least a day in
advance. I’ve yet to have them, but I hear great things.
Next time you’re in the
neighborhood or if you already live here, be sure to give it a try and support
this great, local, east side business.
Hours of Operation:

Saturday: 7am to 4pm
