Bampot tea house is such an amazing place to visit, especially if you’re looking for a meeting place with friends. The tea is wonderful, the bites are tasty and at a smaller price/portion so it’s good for sharing. We didn’t utilize them, but they have board games as well which just makes it feel like a cozy home away from home to me! Not to mention, the staff went above and beyond on a hot day to provide insight into the menu and get our hungry group food ASAP. Caleb was helping us out and they just went above and beyond to make it a great experience!

Honestly my partner and I were so excited to come to this spot and unfortunately got really terrible service.
We’ve been here once before and had no problem. Really great tea and a decent selection of board games. But when we arrived today, we weren’t greeted and when we went up to the counter they didn’t even say hello.
The staff seemed annoyed/ inconvenienced by us being there. They came across as rude and dismissive even when we left and said thank you, they just shrugged. We’re not expecting Michelin star service but at least be nice and respectful… at least PRETEND like you care 😭😭😭
Maybe you we’re having a terrible day. But basic common courtesy, manners and service 101.

Saw a show, had a nice sour beer, had fun. Solid spot :)

Service was really lacking, we couldn’t place an order after waiting 20 minutes and had to flag down the server by walking over to her. It was also impossible to place a second round of orders - unless we wanted to walk over again. Mind you there is a 20% autograt for large parties (we had 6 people)!
To make it even worse, the back room is extremely hot in the summer. There is a window AC and fan but it’s not enough when the room fills up.
This is clearly a popular spot but if you’re beyond university age, this is probably not for you. Prices are affordable though.

My family and I had a great time with an anti-tea lunch. Food and tea were great. Friendly staff, inviting atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

Amazing place! They have a really good selection of loose-leaf tea, and even mate! Some food like sandwiches and desserts. Nice board game collection.
But what is the most important is the atmosphere. So cozy. Love this hippy/bohemian vibe.
There are enough easy chairs and wooden platforms where you can sit on all these cushions and drink tea behind the small table.

Very cozy environment, super fun with lots of games. The tea selection is awesome and you can have a pot for $7, the new servers have kind of an attitude but overall very efficient and helpful, I would definitely visit again :)

I walked in randomly to an open mic here . This place hosts great events with beautiful people . I tried their food / drinks as well . Both awesome . If you are bored and want to have a chill time - you can just walk in here to have fun . They have books , board games as well .

I have had the sandwiches, and some sort of licorice cold tea so far, and I just love this quirky little neighborhood gem. The staff and owners are A tier, in terms of service offerings and looking to provide top guest experience at a reasonable price point intended to entice and encouraged to remain. Always new ideas, new products, or new programming brewing away in their minds too, as they seek to create new opportunities and keep any favorites. Lots of talent here, I am interested to see what they keep getting up to.
In desperate need of an update to the interior. They have great food and tea but I would love to re design this place inside. Awesome concept otherwise

Would come here again if it weren't for the attitude of the staff. I'm sorry I politely asked for tea at a place which serves tea? :) From the moment I stepped into the place it felt like I was an imposition to the staff for literally existing. Lots of lovely places in the area to get a good cup of tea where the staff a) don't ignore you and b) don't act upset when you ask a simple question.

Love the place, or is fantastic. Our server, Alex, took great care of us. One of the absolute best places in the city.😍

My first time here, I tried the carrot cake and the Spice Master's tea and my goodness it was the perfect combo. The carrot cake was moist, not too sweet, with a hint of spices. It's the best I've had in a while. Theirs has no nuts, but it tasted great regardless. The tea was like a warm hug. I see myself going back for just those at least. The space is cosy with nooks/sections for groups to do their own thing. There were lots of games on display and some books (I even spotted an Archie comic). I think it's a great indoor escape from the city.
Update: Their deli sandwich is another reason to come back here. It’s got a perfect combination of crunch, softness and freshness. The chips that it comes with are just right too.
