Tea time for new cafe on 11th Street

[Reader-submitted photo]

JQK Floral Tea is now open at 330 E. 11th St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

A reader shared the photo here from Saturday evening, and noted that the small shop sells a variety of green, black and oolong teas as well as coffee.

The JQK website isn't operational just yet (there's also an Instagram account without any posts). Yelp lists their hours as 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, with a 9 p.m. close on Friday and Saturday.

This space was previously home to Fair Folks & a Goat, the coffee shop and boutique, which left in August 2017.

New cafe alert: JQK Floral Tea slated for 11th Street

An EVG reader shares this photo, showing storefront renovations at 330 E. 11th St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

A small sign on the front lists the name as JQK Tea. The cafe's placeholder website lists the business name as JQK Floral Tea.

This space was previously home to Fair Folks & a Goat, the coffee shop and boutique, which left in August 2017.

The arrival of a cafe is good news for the block, which has seen mounting losses starting in 2017 with Honeyhaus, Anna, Odin, Pas de Deux and Fair Folks & a Goat. (It's still a good block, though, with Russo's, Veniero's, Tokyo Joe, Buffalo Exchange, Casey Rubber Stamps and Lori McLean Fine Jewelry, among the shops.)
