The Steeping Room was delightful. I went for dinner and there was a peaceful vibe coupled with the warm scent of tea and coffee. I got the granola bowl which they easily made vegan. The whole menu is very adaptable and there is a great selection of soups, sandwiches and salads. A heads up the tomato soup is really good. Ask for a sample and you can try a bit of it. I also got the chai latte which was amazing. Along with the latte I got the Jasmine Pearl tea which was smooth but bitter. Great steeping.

Lots of good snack options for vegans and vegetarians. I took my friend here who lovesssss tea and she loved it! I wish there was more seating inside/more of a vibe. Very nice employees though!

Love this place! HUGE tea selection, authentic tea from many different areas. Great for friends get together or some afternoon tea time. You have to try their scones! Recommend their Spiced Apricot, Cranberry Walnut and Candied Ginger. For the spread, recommend their honey butter and organic strawberry jam. Many Vegetarian and Vegan options. Friendly and helpful staff too.
They also have another location in Domain. But that location has been permanently closed.

TLDR: perfect spot for a relaxed brunch
First off, phenomenal tea list, which is a massive draw to this place. the staff is really friendly and welcoming, and the vibe of the whole restaurant is really great. even when it was a busy morning brunch, it still felt relaxed and peaceful. The food itself was good, but not great, but literally everything else about the place makes up for it. 4/5

Hot damn. Great, great spot on the north central side. It smells divine with all the tea 🍵 fumes. Great menu. Full of options. Breakfast before 11, so I suggest coming in before that.
Excellent selection of tea. The service was outstanding. Can't wait to bring friends.

This is such an amazing place! The staff were super friendly and created a really great atmosphere. Every step of the service was amazing! The food and drinks were delicious. I will absolutely be coming here again!

What a wonderful experience! I brought my girlfriend here for her birthday and we received welcoming, and friendly service paired with delicious food. The recommendations for tea we received from our server, Brandy, were educating and ultimately, satisfying choices. We had a great assortment of options with the century oaks tea service. So many different textures and flavors. Highly recommended if you love tea or just want a cozy spot to get a snack.

All the employees were very kind and answered our questions patiently and kindly. I got the seasonal peach iced tea and drank 4 cups of it with unlimited refills. I would totally recommend that! I also got a cup of the tomato soup and side of wheat toast. It was excellent but definitely go in with the mindset that it's pricey due to the quality of the ingredients.

The Steeping Room is a great option when you're looking for delicious, healthy options. The napa rolls, salads, and Buddha bowl are all fantastic. I also love the tea sandwiches! The tea menu is seemingly never ending, and the desserts are so good. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love it all!!

They have a very well curated selection of loose leaf teas from all over the world. They also serve tea and sandwiches on their outside patio or to go.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff plus an amazingly inclusive menu makes for an awesome tea experience. I’m gluten-free and recently caffeine free. Unfortunately this means I can’t have my favorite puerh tea for a few years (caffeine ages out) but I found an excellent alternative.

The Steeping Room has long been one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. The combination of a casual atmosphere plus healthy delicious food, served by friendly and relaxed people, was perfect. At the Domain location, the patio affords great people watching in nice weather, a welcome bonus.
I came tonight to enjoy the beautiful post-storm weather with my loved ones. We knew patio service had changed, but we didn't realize the full, terrible ramifications.
Attempting to place our order at the counter, we were confronted with, "you can read the specials on the board" (we couldn't, actually, which is why we asked), "you can't get a pot of tea," "you can drink water from those small paper cups," followed by direction to grab plastic cutlery on our way out the door. In general, the woman who took our order seemed dismayed that she had to answer our questions about the menu options at all.
Our food was served in paper boats, our drinks were served without a single word, and ultimately, our experience was so unpleasant we can't contemplate coming back again.
Whoever made this decision - it's not too late! Bring back full service to the patio. The woman at the table next to ours is literally crying - real, actual, heartfelt tears - at the prospect of losing her favorite Friday night restaurant spot.

Amazing food served by happy and gracious staff. Buda bowl is terrific and tea selection is outstanding. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin.

Great little place tucked next door to a retail giant! Took my kids in and they loved the food too - I even got my non tea drinking 6 year old to drink and like tea! Will visit again for sure

The Steeping Room is always a good place to go. I've been to their Domain and Lamar locations. Birth have amazing staff and great gluten free options. They only thing I would change about bitty locations is that is like them to be larger.
Tammy Marks Cummings
First of all they were super busy!!!! BUT they didn't scrimp on customer service at all. So spot on with their service. We had the Buddha bowl and pimento cheese grilled sandwich. Both delicious and two different tea pots. We adore this place!!!!!!!
Sam Melnick
The variety of teas is always astounding. Every now and then they get some really rare teas which are always a great treat! The seasonal desserts and daily options keep every visit fresh. Sunday brunch is particularly awesome, but make a reservation to make sure you have a spot! They're always busy and for great reason.
Paul Nunez
I Had milk oolong, Buddha bowl, and a very yummy carrot cake cupcake. Everything was a delight and the service was magnificent. We were politely asked to move tables for a larger party but it was handled so well. The steeping room will always be a staple in my Austin visits.

Best place to eat at in the entire Domain area. The service and the food are excellent, and consistently so.
Jacquelene Falcon
Went for breakfast and the food was great as well as the tea and the service. Making this place a weekly tradition with my gf.
Preston Champ
This place is awesome. My girlfriend and I feast here at every opportunity, most importantly the plethora of tea they have. The staff is wonderful, attentive, and always give input when you are unsure about what options sound appetizing. The prices are a bit high on certain dishes but we never cease to enjoy ourselves.

Best tea preparation I've ever had. These guys know what they are doing - they have a thoughtfully selected assortment of teas, and they have the preparation down to a science. Or maybe "an art" is a better description. The setting classy yet relaxed. And always very clean. The food is outstanding - healthy and tasty and accommodating of many dietary preferences. The staff is professional and patient and helpful.
The steeping room has been my family's favorite for many years now - they just keep getting better and better.
Try the cashew caesar salad! Or the banana brûlée oatmeal for brunch.
For the domain location, get a reservation for peak hours! Although I think an hour(+) wait is well worth it if the weather is nice.
Gloria Edith
I order my tea online & it is wonderful. I just love the peaceful act of sipping hot tea . The lemon ginger herbal is amazing, as is the autumnal darjeeling, Turkish Delight, all so good and fresh tasting. Thank you Steeping Room for such great quality!
John King
Food is always excellent, service is top notch, prices are very good. This is my go-to place for a light lunch. Breakfasts are also quite good. They are open for dinner - sorry but no report on that.
Taneisha Danae Williams
I absolutely love this place! It was my first time visiting The Steeping Room and my waitress was very helpful with helping me pick out a few teas to try!!! And the food was light and refreshing as well!!! I will definitely be back!!!!
Jamie Martindale
I love this place. The food and tea are excellent. This morning I had the breakfast bowl vegan style which is one of the most AMAZING things I've eaten EVER! Now if I can figure out how to re-create at home my life might be complete. But don't worry Steeping Room...I'll definitely be back.
Thomas Oatman
I can't get enough of this place :-)
Ginormous selection of teas
wonderful food menu - everything I've had is scrumptious
