Downtown Antioch Has a New Tea Room — and It's the Real Deal

The Hen and Drake Modern Tearoom brings a personalized tea experience to Downtown Antioch: Listen to the podcast below

If you've walked past The Hen and Drake Modern Tea Room in Downtown Antioch and wondered what goes on inside, this is your sign to find out. Owner Erin Green-Astone sat down with Contra Costa News to share the story behind the tearoom— from backyard tea parties to food truck to full brick-and-mortar— and what makes her two-to-three-hour tea experience so different from just grabbing a cup of something hot. She's planted roots in Downtown Antioch on purpose, and it sounds like exactly the kind of neighborhood gem we love to shout out.

The Hen and Drake Modern Tearoom
Wed through Sat 11 AM — 3 PM
Sun 10 AM — 3 PM
520 West 2nd Street, Antioch, CA 94509

The program, called Whole You and run by Spring Health, offers faster access to care and is backed by research showing high recovery rates. It is available now through state department benefits.
