(From December 2009) Aging flower children will find comfortable familiarity at the Tango Tea Room, housed in the Yin Yang Fandango shop cum alternative culture center. That is, if they don’t mind the company of banker types, who come for the excellent food and hospitality offered by proprietors John and Irene Jaan. The recently refreshed menu is an eclectic collection of exotic teas, mostly vegan cuisine, and beautiful American-style cakes and pies. Our favorite menu item, and one of the most popular, is a shredded chicken salad with sun-dried tomatoes served on a fresh croissant with a side of piquant salsa and corn chips. We also like the roasted vegetable sandwich (tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, artichoke hearts, and mushrooms). We broke diet vows for a slice of creamy Mexican chocolate cheesecake improved with a subtle blend of chile peppers, cinnamon, and secret south-of-the-border spices.
