Well, this shouldn't be a surprise

But the Mandala Tea Room is closed until after Labor Day. So tragic. I'll be eating at Green Restaurant at Scottsdale and McKellips until the end of time anyway. Before you wonder why I'm still on the Mandala Tea Room mailing list despite the fact that I hate their food, let me reiterate that I did enjoy their tea. The place is good for beverages ONLY. Here's what came in the newsletter today:

"Mandala Tearoom's doors will be temporarily closed for the
remainder of the summer season.

No worries, the tearoom will re-open after the Labor Day
Holiday on Tuesday, September 5th - Renewed, Revived and
Better than Ever!

Thanks to all you who supported Mandala for the premier
weekend brunches. We are proud to be the only vegan organic
brunch spot in the valley and look forward to continued
success.
