We celebrated my mom’s birthday at Callisto with a private party and Wendy and her team were phenomenal! All the guests loved the food, service, and atmosphere! It was truly a lovely celebration and they were so accommodating and helpful. Highly recommend!

I went here once, on a whim, about two and a half years ago and been coming back every week since then. If that track record doesn't speak for itself I'm not sure what will!
If you're looking for a western-style tea house that serves well-executed, creative pairings with their tea, then come here. If you're looking for a Chinese tea house with a powerful cultivation and a staff that can make a *mean* cup of tea, then come here. If you're looking for a place to start your journey into tea, if you're well-familiar with tea as a culture and habit, or even if you just want a break from the heat or a cute venue for your get-together, then come here. Wendy, Nathan, and Staff will greet you with their welcoming, authentic joy in tea.

We had a great experience on our first visit to Callisto, so I made a reservation to celebrate my friend's birthday. The tea sandwiches were unique and tasty. The tea was flavorful and service was great. Consider doing their high tea service. Thanks for a peaceful, enjoyable tea!!

Callisto Tea House has been a favorite of mine for at least a year, yet I haven't shared until now. I've been selfish, trying to keep the place my little secret. But that's not fair. Callisto deserves the praise and to reap the accolades of embodying exactly what a teahouse should be.
Any place can sell a decent cup of tea, or have a clever interior with relatable artwork, but the true spirit of tea is in the experience. A teahouse should be welcoming, offering hospitality with an unassuming and gentle aesthetic. A place for a kind conversation, and for thoughtfulness. That is a teahouse, and that is exactly what Callisto offers. Each time I walk through the door, I can feel tension leave my shoulders. Sometimes I stop by for a quick visit, sometimes I linger for hours, but long stay or short, I enjoy every minute.
The tea is top notch, and expertly prepared. The crew knows how to represent each variety to guide you towards exactly what you're looking for. I'm partial to hot tea, but Callisto brings an excellent iced tea preparation and cold brews that stand tall on 100-degree days. The tea list is updated periodically, as it should be, as certain options are seasonal. And if you're looking to bring a piece home with you, they have loose leaf and teaware for sale.
There is an assortment of light bites that pair seamlessly with the tea. I love the scones, generally savory. And they have mini toasts with toppings ranged from local marmalades, roasted red pepper spread with walnut, cucumber with herbed cashew cream cheese, and more. Plus a few baked goods appropriate for those who like something a bit sweet. The scones, the sourdough for the toasts, the cookies, it's all baked in house, and it's all delicious.
Callisto is always a little busy without being too busy. It's a place to read, catch up with a pal, or get some work done. It's the little things that take this shop to the next level, and I think they get that. I'm a fan of how they always ask if I would like to choose my own teacup from their collection. I generally ask them to surprise me. And when they bring me a particular cup because it's their favorite and they want to tell me about it, I can see the chat as the genuine gesture of connection that it is.
If you need a cup of tea, yes. If you want to learn about tea, yes. If you're a tea veteran and have been looking for a local place to kick back and recharge, yes. I've chatted with the owners and they are lovely people, you can tell that this teahouse is a work of passion for them. And that positivity really shines through in their work and the establishment as a whole. I've had a handful of favorite teahouses over the years, but it had been a while. I am very lucky to have Callisto in the neighborhood.

Came here for Mother’s Day and it was wonderful! I really appreciated how much thought was put into the whole experience. The owner was SO kind and knowledgeable, she took the time to go through all of the teas we were curious about and recommended several. My mom had a great time and we’re definitely planning on coming back ❤️

Very nice tea house with quality tea. Some of the options were very special and rare. The owner is knowledgeable and accommodating. :)
Wonderfully curated place to come relax, read, or get a little work done.
I met a friend here for tea and was not disappointed. Great atmosphere and lovely people. The foods were varied and tasty!

I'm new to using loose tea and asked for assistance. What lovely staff that took the time to tell me all about their offerings and help me choose several teas! I've been using them now for a few weeks and just love the selections. Will definitely be returning!

Came here with my partner on the recommendation of our friends. Seriously wonderful tea, atmosphere, and service. The Gongfu service was excellent!
Sara Siwiecki
What a joy! We came here for afternoon tea (we wanted to try something new and had never had a tea and pastries afternoon tea before!) and had a fantastic time. The tea was delicious as were the accompanying toasts and pastries. They also had gluten free options which was great for someone in my group that has several dietary restrictions. The tea cups and plates were also so adorable. Also the afternoon tea was super reasonably priced! Would definitely recommend for a nice, peaceful, leisurely tea!

Truly unique place! 10/10 experience. Try the yellow tea, a rare treat.
