Our Story
Steeped in non-tradition.
Long before opening its doors in Harbor East, Teavolve began as an idea born in a Philadelphia row-house. A vision that kept us up at night. A plan that filled pages with what-ifs and wouldn’t-it-be-greats, complete with a what’s-stopping-us masthead.
Teavolve was a personal goal to ease up on an espresso addiction, and offer a healthy and happy environment for our community. It was a commitment to serve an experience and menu unlike any café in the market.
Welcome to Charm Citea.
We introduced Teavolve in a cozy light-filled space to Fell’s Point in 2005, whose residents immediately supported our concept, our love, our menu, our team, and most importantly, the environment it offered.
Our café was quickly described as a love letter to Baltimore, which allowed our move into a gorgeous space in Harbor East just three short years later. This move supported our goal to share more of what we love with who we love: our community, with Baltimore.
