Phinneus Sonin will soon open a café called
Junks Tea House in his Junktiques Collective vintage store at 324 North Winooski Avenue in Burlington. The menu will include tea, espresso and chai; juices, smoothies and housemade, fruit-syrup-soaked shaved ice; and thin, freshly pressed waffles folded around savory or sweet fillings. All food and drink items will be priced with a suggested donation range, and shoppers will be offered a free drink when they enter the store. Sonin doesn t believe in apostrophes, he said, in reference to the lack of one in his new teahouse s name. Nor does he believe in capitalism. Instead of supporting capitalism, it s based in catapultism, Sonin said with a grin. We re sending it.
