Meet Taylor Clement of Teagan’s Tea Room & Cafe

Today we’d like to introduce you to Taylor Clement.

Hi Taylor, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My business partner and I have both been in the restaurant industry for many years. We met while we were both serving at the same cafe. We bonded over our love of tea and breakfast foods. We had fun creating our own drinks and food with the ingredients we had at the restaurant. We would make jokes that we should open our own place with said items. Well one day that joke became reality. We came across this beautiful available space that had adorable bay windows and built in sky lights. It was too perfect to let it slip away from us. Our years of daydreaming was now about to come to fruition. We combined our names , Taylor + Megan, to create Teagan’s.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The main challenge for us in this journey was the conversion of turning the cute little former clothing shop into our tea room & cafe. The amount of time that goes into waiting on permits was grueling. You cannot do any form of construction or modifications until those papers are signed and approved. We also had to unexpectedly build an additional bathroom , which not only took even more time and money but it cut into the space that was meant for more kitchen square footage . We’ve had to learn how to be very creative with what little space we do have because there was several things that came up along the way that cut into the original vision.

We’ve been impressed with Teagan’s Tea Room & Cafe, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We specialize in delicious and unique tea blends that are imported from Europe. We do have the standard English Breakfast, Chamomile, Peppermint teas you are used to but where we really have fun is with our specialty blends that you cannot find elsewhere. But don’t worry, we have plenty for coffee lovers too! We have fun lattes which include Red Velvet, Birthday Cake, and Smores (just to name a few!) There really is something for everyone here at Teagan’s.
We serve breakfast , brunch , and lunch. We have everything from eggs benedict, to avocado toast, full sized sandwiches , and afternoon tea. Our menu is so much more extensive and diverse than most people realize. You can bring the whole family, even your pickiest eaters!

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
The most important lesson learned along the way is to be patient. It was tempting to rush in and get open after having to wait so long for those permits but I really did need more time to focus on the menu as well. Since opening in August 2024, we have already changed the menu 3 times. Always adjusting and adding new items is essential for growth and success. I learned that it is ok to accept that some things need to change.
