Dado Tea
About
Dado Tea is a locally owned café in Central Square serving organic, wholesome meals alongside bubble tea, coffee and tea. As the name suggests, it began with a focus on tea, and high-grade loose-leaf teas and handcrafted ginger tea are still part of its identity. Over the years the menu has grown into simple, healthy, clean food, but the core idea has stayed the same: a space where people gather over a cup of tea, coffee or a meal.
Namwon and Jennie started Dado in 2001 and opened the first store in Cambridge in October 2002, adding a second shop in Harvard Square in 2004. The business identifies as both minority-owned (MBE) and woman-owned (WBE). Beyond the counter, Dado sells house products including its Sesame Tamari Ginger dressing, ginger tea and loose teas, and it assembles customizable gift boxes that can include a compostable Swedish dishcloth and dark chocolate.
