O’ways en vogue
It’s my new favourite shop, stuck just behind Cavendish Square in Dreyer Street Claremont that is where you will find O’ways Teacafé.
As their website points out: Oways is a unique environment where the combination of several of the finest elements of life : tea, coffee, tasty food and relationships come together to generate and promote a pure and positive energy that not only resides within the walls of the Teacafé but also radiates out through the joy and connection experienced by its satisfied customers. Please join us for an experience that will not only delight your palette but will also lift your spirits!
There isn’t much else to add, except perhaps that the omelets are the fluffiest in Town, the tea experience seductive, the service warm and 
welcoming and that Lisa who runs the show Oways likes to chat. I typically wouldn’t drive out to Claremont for a cup of tea unless it’s High Tea at the Vineyard Hotel but now I do, now I get in my car a speed down the highway to get to my new favourite shop. It’s not a traditional teahouse, it’s a Teacafé, which is something slightly different as it combines the best elements of both café society and the traditional tea ceremony Feng Shui, you could for instance pick up ORIGIN coffee beans there if you so choose but it’s all about the tea.
They have a delightful menu to enjoy while savoring your tea, Chef Marion Kumpf and her team have created a simple selection of Asian influenced cuisine, everything that I have had on the menu has been superb but the Taiwanese Dan Bing pancake omelet with roasted chilli dip is a must as well as the Dim Sum.
The last time that I was there they sold me rose petals, typically I had to have a slightly bespoke order but this wasn’t a problem, they divvied up their pack and I was able to buy 100g gram of rose petals to flavour my green tea, it’s that kind of place nothing is too much trouble, here’s hoping that they will Oways be in fashion.
