Northeast Tea House has quickly become one of my favorite 3rd party places!

Immediately you enter into a serene, welcoming, and cozy little walkway filled with plants, beautiful Chinese tea sets and accessories.

The staff is all extremely knowledgeable and willing to assist with the style of traditional Chinese tea etiquette. There are also amazing individual drink options of teas and matchas, as well as small snacks like mochi and some baked goods.

Wonderful place to sit and chat for as long as you need, enjoy the art, the fish and the chill atmosphere.

This is one of the best tea houses I’ve been to. Lots of nice tea options for all different levels and interests in tea, whether you like fun iced and flavored combos, single cultivar matcha, or a pot of rock oolong, there’s a wide selection for everyone. The staff are always very nice, although their knowledge about tea does vary from time to time. I love the events they have here, it’s a great way to meet people and to learn and try more. The decor is lovely, relaxing and interesting, amazing for studying. My only negative is the no-laptop policy. I definitely do understand the reasons, but I found it pretty frustrating as a student and somewhat dismissive of the idea that people are…on their own and not with a friend or partner all the time. I will say, the owner seems willing to work with people, and he allowed me to use my tablet if it was flat, but I definitely don’t come here as often due to this rule. I still love it here though!

Beautiful setting in the midst of a busy center. Zen and relaxing-would highly recommend their matcha options.

Northeast Tea House is a rare gem—a temple of stillness in the heart of the city. You can feel the intention in every detail, from the serene design to the ceremonial quality of the drinks.

What truly sets this place apart is the fresh-ground matcha, milled right from Sencha leaves. One of only a few spots in the entire country doing it this way. It’s vibrant, alive, and utterly refreshing—both in taste and in spirit.

This space is devoted to quality, presence, and quiet refinement. As the founder of Third Eye Cacao, I couldn’t help but imagine how a touch of ceremonial cacao might beautifully complement the reverence already alive here.

Deep gratitude to the team for creating such a peaceful and elevated experience. I’ll be back often. 🌿

This place is a must for any tea lovers! Especially for those looking for authentic flavors/options. I really enjoy the option to do gong-fu style brewing, and the menu has a good range on it. And the tea isn’t the only great thing, the snacks are also very tasty! The atmosphere is very warm and calming, and you can tell that a lot of thought has been put into the space.

I’m new to the Twin Cities, and am really looking forward to making this my go-to spot for tea.

Such an awesome place. I was given a gift card this tea shop and couldn’t wait to see it. It’s a great place and I really enjoyed taking a moment to appreciate the tea. I’ll be coming back!

Delightful, magical tea house. The tea was divine, the atmosphere relaxing, the attention to detail and layout were magnificent. Wonderful place for delicious tea.

An oasis and the jungle. I come here after long shifts to pour myself tea, look at fish in the aquarium and just sit and unwind. Staff are kind and helpful. Don't order to go, slow down and ask for the gongfu. They'll walk you though how to brew at your table!

This felt like a unique experience. Quiet but no need to silence yourself as if you were at a library. Knowledgeable staff who really knows and can help with decisions for a team that will satisfy you. If you feel tea is just dirt water, I'd recommend you try the purple tea for a surprisingly sweet flavor.

A wonderful experience. Their tea is great quality and they've created a perfect atmosphere to enjoy it. If you're new to drinking tea on its own, this is a lovely spot to sit for a moment and maybe discover a love for matcha, pu'er, or white tea.
