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!!!
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!
Funky San Antonio charm. The place is very welcoming to everyone, and the tea is delicious. They have a wide variety of teas and light food. I prefer to visit during Sipping Hour, when pots of tea are half-price, and they have quaint live music performances from local talent. A great place to relax.
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!
A lovely, peaceful little place to sit and enjoy some wonderful teas, as well as different sandwiches and desserts. Not overly expensive, the food is definitely worth the price. The people they have playing music also adds a nice touch to this very calming experience.

Fun eclectic tea lounge in the back of a nicely organized antique and handcraft store (Craftiques Mall). So much to look at and be inspired by, see a few pictures below! Excellent service and amazing tea selection! I felt like Alice in Wonderland, having tea at the Mad Hatter’s house!
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.
It's hidden in the Craftiques Mall! But once you find it, you'll be torn between telling people about it (because it's so amazing), and just keeping it to yourself to keep it a hidden gem!
Is place of delicious teas,food and great service.
