Tisane Euro Asian Cafe

Connecticut


This odd – and locally loved – coffeehouse-cum-restaurant-cum-bar somehow manages to morph from one beast to another throughout its long business day. For lunch and dinner there are Asian noodle dishes alongside Italian-style flatbreads and American-style hamburgers. Later still, Tisane becomes a full-service bar, serving cocktails until last call, with DJs and karaoke.
