“ZuZu’s is a dream in process. And we are excited to finally be able to open despite the challenges. Our business model is simple: healthy living combined with an open source venue for the arts, where everyone in our community can gather and share.”

-Billy Corgan

“Madame ZuZu’s is a place for people to come together and enjoy fun healthy food and discover the beautiful world of fine teas. People often ask us ‘do you only eat grass?’ And I quickly learned that the delicious world of plants is so overlooked. We are here to bring you a taste of home to your table,”

- says Chloe Mendel.

Musician Billy Corgan, founder of the Grammy winning band The Smashing Pumpkins and his partner Chloe Mendel have opened Madame ZuZu’s, a local plant-based teashop in Highland Park, Illinois.

Combining Insanely Delicious Plant-based Foods with Rare Teas of the World (in collaboration with Rare Tea Cellar) And Good Vibes.

Originally created in 2012, Madame ZuZu’s has grown into a nationally recognized tea brand, renowned for its rare and exclusive blends. This new Highland Park location will carry on ZuZu’s tradition of a whimsical atmosphere but in a larger, Art Deco space reminiscent of a 1930’s tea salon.

Billy and Chloe would like to be part of a positive community shift during these challenging times. ZuZu’s gives them the opportunity to accomplish this by providing jobs and contributing to the North Shore community with an inclusive, unpretentious environment.
