The hip tea house owned by Smashing Pumpkins' frontman Billy Corgan and Ravinia Wine Shop owner Sharon Mackin-Norberg will open its doors in the Ravinia Business District on Thursday.
Madame ZuZu, located at the former Post Office in the Ravinia neighborhood of Highland Park, will offer a dozen international teas as well as Intelligensia coffee, desserts from Highwood's Bent Fork Bakery and swanky seating, according to Eater Chicago.
The renovated space includes "a long dark wood bar, black-and-white flooring, metal plating on the ceiling, red walls, deco lighting and a piano," Eater Chicago reports.
Ravinia residents couldn't be more excited.
"People have been waiting with bated breath for it to open," Ravinia resident Caroyln Cerf said. "It'll give local artists and performers a place to express themselves and just hang out."
Ravinia Neighbors Association Vice President Eve Tarm agrees.
"Everybody's very excited about it," Tarm told Patch on Tuesday. "We haven't had a place where you could just drop by casually with friends or neighbors."
Madame Zuzu's will be open Monday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
