I was in the neighborhood on a very cold winter day, so stopped by for a warm up at Madame Zuzu’s. Checked out the vinyl selection and store before ordering. I ordered the Blue Matcha Latte with Oatmilk and a Dubai Cookie! Yummy! I need to stop by on the weekend when there is live music. The first time I saw the Smashing Pumpkins was back in the early 90’s and Billy keeps rocking!

The tea house has been on my bucket list for quite some time, so finally getting to visit was pretty wonderful. The tea selections were fantastic, and very tasty (I had the Sakura Kyoto and Bourbon Vanilla)! As a longtime Pumpkins and Corgan fan it was an incredible opportunity to grab some hard-to-find merch and records. Highly recommend for the fan or tea enthusiast!

We went to Madame ZuZu’s in the winter of 2023 after catching Home Alone at the theater on the next street over. My daughter and I are both huge Smashing Pumpkins fans (we’ve seen them twice in concert) so the movie seemed like a great excuse to get us to Madame ZuZu’s. Our drinks were all really good…I wanna say we got hot chocolates and the staff were really friendly. There’s plenty of really cool store and band merchandise to check out as well. Definitely a place worth visiting more than once!!

This was my first time at Madame Zuzu’s Tea House and it did not dissapoint! Smashing Pumpkins being one of my All Time Favorite bands I just had to check this place out. The Cafe was Incredible offering a variety of Plant Based Foods and Teas to choose from. They also have an Amazing selection of items to purchase as souvenirs! The staff was very friendly. The Food and Especially the Tea were Absolutely Delicious!! I decided on a Warm Pretzel with dipping sauce,”Chicken” Parmesan Sandwich with Roasted Potatoes and a Georgia Peach Rooibos Iced Tea…Sooo Yummy!! I would Highly recommend checking this Cafe out!! It’s definitely worth the drive!!

What a great place for lunch!
I needed to find a healthy, yet quiet place for lunch and this was perfect.
I have been here in the evenings for jazz and comedy nights but this was a left field choice for me!
The food was simple and not processed which is what I was looking for.
My tomato soup was delicious!!

The service here is slow! Took over 15 minutes to even get started on our tea and coffee. The decor/layout/overall atmosphere feels like you’re in your grandparents’ basement and they’re in the process of remodeling/moving. Drinks were okay.

Madame Zuzu’s is such a delight. Having grown up in Chicago in the golden age of indie music and coffeehouse culture, I could not be more delighted to have a place with such great atmosphere and intent in Highland Park. As a vegetarian, even better! The food is delicious and well priced and the space is huge and arty and is just brimming with opportunity. Sure, every girlfriend I have had my whole life has been in love with Billy Corrigan, but I can get past this for such a great local spot, haha.

I’ve been here twice and I absolutely love the concept and atmosphere. Cool decorations all around and they offer unique snacks and treats. I ordered one of their vegan sandwiches and it was okay but their hot tea was comforting and delicious. They have such a large tea collection for those who prefer tea over coffee.

I have heard many great things about Madame Zuzus, my being Billy Corgan’s biggest fan! I was not expecting the vast selection of menu items as well as the merchandise, vinyl collections/albums AND a surprise during my brief visit there, meeting my idol himself!!! *Please respect Billy Corgan’s wishes of no photos or autographs during his time there.*
I knew this ahead of time from being in his online PWG, as well as just common courtesy of giving space for he and his family privacy to enjoy a meal. WPC is very approachable and kind to everyone. Billy was shown great respect by fellow patrons. He even waited his turn in line, humbly waiting and watching his daughter. There were a few people trying to film and sneak pics of him & his daughter… I personally let them know not to do that and why it wasnt cool.
I found myself seated at a table beside them and I did not look at or try to talk to Billy while they were eating or busy doing something.
It goes without saying that Madame Zuzus has made the most stellar experience of my life possible!!!
Thank you from this Canadian Traveller,
