Madame ZuZu's Emporium
Vegan Eats & Teas From Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan
Come one, come all to Madame ZuZu’s Emporium, a mom & pop shop unlike any other! Madame ZuZu’s is a vegan restaurant, tea shop, and performance space in Highland Park, Illinois, founded in 2012 by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and his wife, fashion designer Chloe Mendel. Since its founding, it’s grown into a nationally recognized tea brand, renowned for its rare and exclusive blends. The cafe’s menu features comfort foods made with wholesome, plant-based ingredients, and their signature Grandma JoJo's Meatball Sub was nominated for Chicago Tribune's #1 sandwich in 2021.
Reminiscent of a 1930s tea salon, Madame ZuZu’s is a grand, Art Deco space that’s become a beloved cornerstone of the North Shore community. Billy, Chloe, and their two children eat dinner as a family nightly, so they know the importance of great ingredients and cooking from scratch. With Madame ZuZu’s Emporium, they’re welcoming you into their kitchen with a lineup of vegan sandwiches, toasts, cookies, and high-end teas, all being delivered to your door!
