5th Springfield Stop -- Tea Bar & Bites

Tea Bar & Bites (612 S. Pickwick) is the perfect place to take a date or your mother or grandmother or a group of friends. It is cozy and homey and the food is wonderful and comforting. The lemonade is the best I've had (and you can have many refills of it based on experience).

If you go on a warm day, you can also sit in the beautiful courtyard. It's almost as if you are at a cafe' in Italy. They also have theme nights so you can really pretend like you are in another country. The owner, Colleen Smith, told me that they have been open for five years.

I didn't capture the cool of the place when I took my photos. So, I am using this photo that I took of their bell tower. If you haven't been there, you just need to go and you will know what I'm talking about.
