Places to have hot teas?

Posted by Expensive_Pitch_802@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 27 comments

Hey folks! I’m looking for a place to sit down and have a good tea but every tea place seems to be those trendy cold blended tea drinks like boba teas. Where can I have a simple cup of tea that’s actually good and not an after thought? More varieties of teas, the better! Thank you!

Everyone’s saying this, but I called them and they said it’s not a place like a cafe to sit and have tea, it’s more a shop. Occasionally they’ll have a tasting event

I think they have sit down tastings on Saturdays only.

It is not a cafe!

There is a hidden place inside Northaven Garden Center. I had no idea it was there until a hinge date recommended it. The lavender lady grey is amazing. It’s very cute and has a lawn for nice days.

High Street Antiques and Design (antique/consignment store) has a tea room inside of it called the Chocolate Angel Cafe and Tea Room. Great place to kill a few hours looking at the random stuff for sale and go have a lunch + tea.

Turkish/Yemeni coffee shops are all the rage now. Arwa, for example, in Plano has really good teas and coffees.

Looks all their offerings are flavored iced teas, not the cup of hot tea OP was seeking.

They are all iced. I love it, but it is set up to get iced teas and go, not to sit and enjoy your tea.

Davis St Espresso. Will serve it in a nice pot, glass, on a little board. Good vibes to hang out at for a while too.

Civil pour brews all their tea from the Cultured Cup. We carry several styles and you can get it in a teabag or brewed on site. Our presentation for the tea if you drink it there is lovely too. Btw our iced tea is cultured cup too. It’s a unsweetened peach black tea and it’s amazing. But I’m partial to our hot teas.

I haven't been in many years but the International Buddhist Progress Society in Richardson has a tea room with traditional and fruit teas and snacks. I loved it.

My apartment. 😉 Unfortunately, tea culture in the US is pretty weak, and definitely so in Dallas. Certain Chinese/Taiwanese restaurants like Wu Wei Din might serve some decent hot tea, but there's not a place I know of here that is just a tea house, let alone a high quality one. I'd like to know, just as you, but you'll likely have to make do with brewing your own for now.

Some suggestions in no particular order: DeGolyer Tea Room, Forestwood Garden Tea Room, Chocolate Angel, The French Room (the fanciest & most famous of tea services in Dallas), La Parisienne French Bistro, Lavendou

Several of those suggestions are far beyond just getting a nice cup of tea, involving three tiered trays of finger sandwiches, sweet treats, scones, etc. Lovely and special experiences, but not what you want if you just want to get a cup of hot tea, like someone might stop by a coffee place for a nice latte.
