Tea Restaurants near Oakland, CA

“If you're a tea-a-holic or simply in the mood for some truly great tea this is the place for you. All the variety you could ask for and then some and the nicest welcoming owner who is happy to share her without a doubt professional experience and knowledge of tea and everything related to it. And did I mention the ambiance? Classical music, lovely decor and absolutely a delightful experience overall. We had a wonderful time, thank you "Sophie's Cuppa Tea".“

“Sizzling � with blackened sauce was highly exceptional. This Moorish Asiatic shall return.“

“Uncle Gee is so knowledgeable, hospitable, gregarious and compassionate. I went in there looking for a healing tea because my daughter had suffered a miscarriage.. immediately he expressed his condolences and explained with such detail why the tea he was giving me was for her and I explained other situations and all I can say is, I bought everything he recommended. It was my first time there and we have been drinking it properly and it has made all the difference in the world for our health & has brought us together. Tea is an experience for sure & drinking it correctly makes it even better! Thank you & continued blessings“

“Afternoon tea. Interesting experience. Recommend reservations. We went here recently (brother recommended this place). The place was quaint. We selected the tea for one. Each of us chose 2 sandwich flavors and a pot of tea. I got the flowering tea, it has a mild flowery taste and is visually pleasing. Sandwiches were an interesting experience. The coconut jam was surprisingly good. I personally got the meatfloss and the turkey with Brie and fig jam. The turkey was somewhat sweet. The scone was good too, along with the savory canapé. Dessert was good. I’ll have to come back again with my spouse and friends next time.“

“A very friendly, lovely people who are ready to engage and talk about tea. I’ve always loved to have Monk’s Blend as a nostalgic choice in the morning, but their puers and oolongs are also quite nice. I’ve been away from the Bay Area for a while, but recently dropped by their location to discover a very pleasant and tranquil place. If you get a chance, do check them out.“

“very peaceful place for tea and snack i like pancake taste very fresh not too sweet. people talk soft and helpful. they also sell some healthy food i buy few for home. nice place i go again.“

“Had afternoon tea here twice; the first time for 2 persons, the second time for 3. Tea selection and the atmosphere was outstanding, service was ok.
During my first visit, the food for 2 was nicely presented on a tiered platter, beautiful and appetizing.
However on my second visit, I was very disappointed with the food presentation; a 2-person tiered platter was used to hold food for a party of 3. As a result, the food was literally piled on to the platter on each tier. This must be a presentation mistake which compromised our dining experience. The visual appeal was lost and somehow the food did not taste as good as the first time…😟“

“I love this place!!
The service and vibe is amazing!! And they’re passionate about their tea and are so helpful is helping find the right tea for the customer! I love the Tea bar seating they’ve!!

I spent a good 2-3 hours catching up with my best friend!
I loved my Ali Shan, 24-hr roasted tea!
They also sell teaware. And, they’ve events every once in a while!

If you’re in Berkeley, go here for some really good tea!! 😊“

“This place is very lovely. Super chill, zen. They even have a little water fountain on the side, super tranquil, love it! The macha is made fresh, the store is air conditioned (because who can drink macha in this heat!?). Great spot to get your drink, chill a bit and recover.“

“The flavor was strong and overall the taste was crisp…
You really just have to go try it for yourself to know what I mean.
This is the ideal fruit tea….
I could never find a place like this in San Francisco.
It’s like a more bougie and better tasting Quickly’s.“

“Nice specialty tea place! Went to get hojicha powder, and when I mentioned it was a gift, they put nice tissue paper in the bag. Marlene and Ms Christy were really friendly and gave me a sampling of three matcha powder variations they had in stock.“

“The tea here is nothing short of magical. Absolutely everything I’ve tried and look forward to finally making it into their shop one of these days!“

“We got the black tea and the pu er tea both with boba added. The tea was flavorful and the sweetness was just right (ordered %100 and it was sweet). The boba was the perfect texture and sweetness too. The shop itself is also pretty. Would be happy to return.“

“Tea master was very welcoming and answered everyone's questions. There were so many great teas to choose from.“

“Experts on Asian tea and a fantastic selections. Also beautiful teapots and tea cups. This is the right place if you want to learn or are an experienced tea lover. Also a nice and informative web page and excellent service.“

“Locale giapponese, menù pure. Porzioni americane, molto abbondanti. Servizio veloce. Prezzi molto contenuti. Bene arredato, con un cortiletto attrezzato a giardino tzen. Carino!“

“amazing service, matcha was strong. but too thick for my personal taste, I got the strawberry einspanner so that might very made it thicker, might go again to try the matcha latte. the soft serve was pretty good, I could taste the quality. the matcha was very strong, if you love a strong matcha soft serve this is for you but for me personally I couldn't handle it 😵‍💫“

“I feel that Heytea's quality is really consistent, even though its price are a bit higher than other boba shops.

This time I tried their Coconut Matcha Bbo, which has cloud, macha, coconut milk and boba. It tasted great, the flavor was on point. I ordered on their app, which makes it easy to customize your drink. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious. Wonderful staff. I was visiting from out of town and made it a point to visit this place again.“

“The place was clean and near the parking structure. Our order had 5 drinks, at least 2 of the lids were not closed completely！Small spill in the bag and that was my only complaint. I had HK milk tea with red beans, less ice, 25% sugar, was fine.“

“my daughter love the shrimp lollipop 🤣🤣🤣“

“I like all the options, not syrup sweet - just right :) the appetizers are pretty good too. Open late too for those late night cravings.“

“Still pretty good after the remodel. Great service including changing out our plates twice during dim sum which I did not expect. They constantly came over and took away plates. The items I thought very average include ham sui gok too much dough and not enough filling. Shrimp dumplings and Xiao mai and chang fun were ok. The chau siu puffs, malay sponge cake, and beef organs and offal were all excellent.“

“Absolutely, 10000% recommended. If you’re looking for an authentic dim sum restaurant, skip the others and come straight here. The owner Frankie is wonderful. Customer Service + great food: I’d pay double. I recently surprised a client and Frankie’s team went above & beyond the call of duty to take care of a guest from out of town. The menu was incredible. I’m happy to keep coming back. 10/10 stars. ⭐️ Thank you Frankie & Team!!!“
