Tal-Iree's

"Are these from Tal-Iree's?"
"It's exactly where it used to be, down that alley in the Jadeite neighborhood."
"I'll get plates."

―Elzar Mann and Avar Kriss^[1]

Tal-Iree's was an eatery on^[1] the Core Worlds^[2] planet Coruscant, located down an alleyway in a Jadeite neighborhood. By the time of the High Republic Era, it had chipped, eat-in stools and a painting over its pickup counter. The Jedi Padawans Avar Kriss, Elzar Mann, and Stellan Gios frequented the establishment, with Kriss becoming familiar with Tal-Iree's menu and the distinct scent of its offerings inside.^[1]

Upon Gios' death in 230 BBY,^[3] his friends—by then Jedi Masters—grieved his loss.^[1] In 228 BBY,^[4] Kriss visited the neighborhood and bought keldov nut pastries from Tal-Iree's. She brought them to Mann's quarters in Coruscant's Jedi Temple, explaining to the latter how she had accidentally ordered three buns out of habit. The pair drank diluted sourstone mead and shared the treats while discussing recent developments in the galaxy's conflict against the Nihil marauders.^[1]
