Infusion Tea (1600 Edgewater Dr) is a cafe and restaurant in the College Park section of Orlando. Ryan buys some tea – Cinnamon Ginger Spice, and he also checks out some of the products available at the Cottage Industry Cooperative store inside the store, where 19 local artists sell their products. There are gifts, stationery, baby clothes, pet toys, jewelery, ceramics, clothing, and wedding invitations from Amy Morelli’s 2ucollection.

There is also an Infusion Tea inside the Urban Think! bookstore in Thornton Park.

In this episode Becky talks to the owner of a College Park original, Taste. Tracy explains the Small Plate format and highlights her favorite dishes. After a look at some art as part of Doug Rhodehamel’s Fungus of the Stars, Becky got to sample some of Taste’s cuisine. Taste is located at 717 Smith St in College Park, just off Edgewater Dr.

As far as food and drink go, Taste has something for everyone – spanning several cuisines and providing for all appetites, I’d bet you you can take even the most particular person and get them to grumble a bit less. The food overall is aimed at someone who appreciates paying for quality ingredients, bringing the average bill to somewhere between $20 and $30 per person. Remember that you’re meant to share, like Tapas. There are 3 seating areas (4 if you count the stage) and the bar, including a few tables outside for those cool spring and fall evenings where you can’t help but sit outside.

We’ve been hearing good things about Taste on local radio and through word of mouth for a number of years now; one can’t mention the restaurant/venue/gallery without thinking “Fish Tacos”. Recently, we noticed a large number of events taking place or relocating to this hip College Park location, and we knew we needed to get a video out ASAP to help people looking for more info on the web get an idea of what they can expect at Taste.

Some of these events include the charity auction we mentioned in the show, Monday night comedy with Absent-Minded Improv (look for an upcoming video featuring AMI), Tuesday Hookah Night, Wednesday night acid jazz with the Absinthe Trio, and live music on the weekends with promotions by Will Walker of Will’s Pub. A new development is a Thursday night open Mic called Preacher Bill Presents.
