Garden Tea Lounge

I love this place. It’s in the back of an antique shop and it’s just darling. They have a very large selection of tea and some small bites and sandwiches. The food is delicious and light. They even sometimes have some local musicians playing, which makes enjoying your tea that much better. The service is slow, but that is to be expected as this isn’t a full scale restaurant. It’s generally a one-person manned small tea house that makes everything fresh to order, so yeah, it may take a little longer. This works out fine for me though because it gives me time to browse the antiques and do a little shopping while I’m waiting. If you like tea and antiques like I do, then you’ll love this place.

This is a little tea shop at the back of an antique/crafts mall. I noticed their hours are not correct on maps, so I added a photo with the correct hours. This place is awesome if you love tea!! They brew properly (in my opinion) by steeping with a timer and removing the tea before they bring it out to you so it is not bitter and oversteeped. I had the Earl Grey and it was wonderful. I requested some cream and brown sugar (it's turbinado sugar) and they were happy to bring some out. Very talkative and nice staff, super awesome little place, and the antique mall was very fun to look around as well. Will be back!

GREAT HOLE IN THE WALL! This is a tea shop INSIDE a thrift / antique store! The hours are not updated online, so here is a picture of the current hours as of 12/11/21. This tea is TOP NOTCH QUALITY! I ordered the matcha regular quality. I drink a lot of Starbucks matcha and I sometimes make my own at home, but this was the BEST quality matcha drink I’ve ever had. I also ordered a cucumber cream cheese sandwich. It was DELICIOUS! There is also sometimes live music by local singers. Before or after your time at the tea lounge you can walk around through the antique / thrift store. Definitely check this place out!!!

Now this is a hidden gem.. Super friendly and if your a bargain hunter this is a stop for you. Went for tea (Amazing) & Got a hole different experience with a yard sale experience of different stuff for sale from old antiques to modern stuff everywhere. Drank a Good cup of tea while browsing everything. Awesome 10 stars to the staff as well.

What a fun little treasure! My mom and I have always enjoyed afternoon tea and were looking for a place to have tea in San Antonio. This place is so fun! You have to make your way through all the antique booths to get to the shop in the back, but it makes it an experience! The ladies running the tea lounge are so sweet and helpful! The scones are made with the tea they sell, and they sell loose leaf tea to take home. The tea latte with their Earl Grey with lavender tea was to die for! It was decorated for a tea party and we may just have to book one for next time. We will most definitely be back!
