Divya MulanjurApril 15, 2015The chipotle chocolate chai is the best chai on this planet. Very strong and spicy. It's perfection. I ordered the Buddha bowl. It's a super healthy meal but bland. Love the peanut sauce.
Zahir WaljiFebruary 24, 2014The best tea's selection I have ever seen. The scones are to die for (along with the fig butter and strawberry jam). Excellent salads and sandwiches. Our weekend spot in the Domain.
Angela SkeesMarch 1, 2016Went in just to see what it was like and fell in love. Only had a few minutes but was in awe of the menu and selection of tea. Got the Rose black tea iced and am still thinking about it.
ALWAYS!! Ask for extra peanut sauce when ordering the Napa rolls. Add a beautiful coconut iced tea and finish off with a ginger scone.
Prince WilliamSeptember 9, 2012The Goomtee First Flush Darjeerling with a bit of agave nectar is incredible. Also, the TBLT sandwich is both filling and delicious. Come early, or be prepared to wait. It's definitely worth it.
Aaron JohnsonNovember 3, 2015This quaint little place happens to be a smashing place for tea loves and food munchies. The people and smiles are very warming which is a total plus in my opinion.- Try the tofu napa rolls, wash it down with a beautiful coconut iced and tea and indulge in a ginger scone.
The Buddha Bowl is the best... And their Masala Chai is the best chai I've found in Austin
Roxy RagamuffinMay 14, 2013They have this almond/amaretto blueberry peach cake that is ridiculous! Holy crap...that is SO good. Seriously...if you don't order it, I feel sorry for you. That is not living...just existing. :)
Ailie ChangFebruary 10, 2015Relax and sip some Beautiful Coconut Green Tea. I prefer it hot with some honey. Start off the the Napa Rolls and then get the Pork Tenderloin Tea Sandwiches :)
Robin MorrisOctober 11, 2014The Buddha bowl a pot of amazing tea to share and a cozy atmosphere adds up to make one of my all time favorite places to eat.
Danielle McDonaldJanuary 25, 2015I'm a tea addict - so far I like every tea I've tried! The food and desserts are on point as well. Lots of super healthy options.
Great food and tea. One of my favorite spots. Unfortunately, extremely slow service at lunch. Also, eat outside. The acoustics inside are deafening.
Leslie CampisiMarch 13, 2014Delicious food and ridiculously attentive service. Had a flashback to Portlandia when the server confirmed yogurt of Bulgarian origin would be acceptable.
Try the Mojteato mocktail on a hot day. Super refreshing!
Reservations are key! Weekday lunch and weekend brunch are especially busy. If you don't want to wait 40+ minutes at these times plan ahead a bit and call in a reservation.
Andra NickersonMarch 22, 2013The Buddha bowl, TLT, Tao salad, and coconut tea are musts!! Happy hour prices are amazing too :)
- Order a cafe au lait and ginger scone and just people watch and enjoy the goodness.
Luisa SansaloneMay 2, 2014The iced Beautiful Coconut Green Tea.. Is absolutely delicious and refreshing.. Can't get enough!! .. Refills are free.. Sweet!
Emily and fam are greatness&local. Tea: vithanakande, kenilworthOP, Assam-all single estate. Ginger scone=legendary. Cent oaks tea w/BLT, roast beef or pork tenderloin tea sands. Honey butter.
The best gluten-free lunch spot in north Austin: Fresh, delicious, and almost everything is available in a gluten-free version
Get there early before they run out of salty toffee cookies. Also good happy hour beer prices (at a tea shop?) though selection is so so.
Sissi NieMarch 7, 2014Grab a table outside, chill out with some mojteado, start with the napa rolls, and enjoy a sandwich :)
JoycottApril 14, 2014Fresh, healthy, eco friendly, with tons of vegetarian options. Totally worth the drive to North ATX.
The cheese plate is excellent, as is the selection of teas. Almost too many to decide! Our waiter was knowledgeable and personable. Great place to relax.
Kari StaffordOctober 30, 2010I recommend a pot of their tea anytime, any day. Great way to try what you might want to buy. The menu is great!! Their curry changes daily and is DIVINE
Ajay WaghrayApril 3, 2012The coffee here is way better than the Starbucks next door for about the same price. Fresh when you order, taste is as smooth as a baby's bottom.
If you walk in and see that there is only one cupcake in the case, ask your waitperson to hold it for you until dessert!
emily blincoeJanuary 18, 2014the winter grilled vegetable sandwich is amazing. paired with genmai-hoji tea is even better.
Linda WrightOctober 13, 2013Good is great. Dining room is small inside but cozy. So many great tea's to chose from
Daily tea is only $2.95 with a free refill. Say hello to Emily and her staff with a smile!
The salted toffee cookie is the answer to all your problems. I seriously didn't know what true happiness felt like until I tried this piece of heaven.
Anthony GomezOctober 11, 2012Very nice place. Great food & teas. Lots of Gluten free & Vegan options.
Sujei SierraNovember 26, 2012The club sandwich w gluten free bread is amazing. The beautiful coconut iced tea is my favorite.
Jackie RomeroApril 6, 2013Talk to Jake! He's an expert on tea knowledge and knows his teas! A++ on my book!
Vivian QuintanillaSeptember 2, 2012Make a reservation for Sunday Brunch and the Morning Tea Service is so worth $15.
The coffee is strong! One glass and im wired ALL day. I however don't like that feeling as such others do.
Kat McCulloughOctober 26, 2010Love this place! I can't stop thinking about their goat cheese, tapenade, and arugula sandwich and their Genmaicha. Great place!
Eat inside for air conditioning, or outside and watch all the shoppers go by.
Alex WolfeSeptember 18, 2011The kitchen is ham handed with their salads. Order the dressing on the side, or risk being served a gloppy mess instead of a crisp salad.
craig didierDecember 27, 2014Teas and menu are amazing! Unfortunately the service is hit and miss...
The Big Red Robe Oolong is pricey, but worth it. They also have a great selection of Anxi ball style oolongs like Tieguanyin. Great stuff.
