After hearing of the recent opening/reopening of the café in the Owings Mills JCC, I decided to head on over and take a bite on behalf of JewishByte.info. As this was not a comprehensive review of the restaurant (we will leave that for Zagat) I quite simply ordered 2 slices of pizza. The service was quick and polite and the price per slice was on the cheaper side at $1.99 (comparing to Tov Pizza $2.26 and Mama Leah’s $2.25). I must say the taste had a unique homemade quality, however the slice was a little doughy. Overall the experience was very good and I would encourage everyone to try the wide variety of menu items that are available.

Aptly named Café Teva is striving for the perfect blend of quality, service and responsibility. Mr. Tkatch says, “Teva is the Hebrew word for ‘nature’ and we hope this will remind our patrons that we strive to use the freshest ingredients and minimize waste by using biodegradable utensils wherever possible. We also offer people the option of dining close to nature, outdoors either on our patio or at a picnic by the pool.”

Café Teva’s extensive menu includes both meat and dairy offerings. From salads and roasted vegetable paninis to macaroni & cheese or hamburgers & fries, the selection ranges from contemporary to traditional. 

 
Early morning gym goers can pick up “grab and go” foods like fruit salads, sandwiches, coffees, cappuccino and espresso as well as pastries and naturally sweetened protein drinks. By midday the meat kitchen is also open and features kabobs, schwarma and American grill items like hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken.
 
Café Teva is also providing a couple of innovating and new ideas to further the service of the new restaurant. There is now a “Teva Poolside” where you can get a limited menu of pizza, ice-cream, snow-cones and other snacks right near the pool area. On Sunday’s, Teva Poolside will also be offering wait-service to the outdoor pool and the Shapiro Rec Park.
 
We here at JewishByte wish Café Teva & Teva Poolside much luck and success in their new endeavor. For more information on the hours and menu, please visit the JCC website HERE
 
Stay tuned for the Grand Opening with promotions and specials right here at JewishByte.info.
 
Café Teva is under the kashrut supervision of Rabbi Shalom Salfer.
