Settle in for a Victorian-style high tea, or drop by the downstairs store for a huge range of teas and preserves to take home.

The vast range of teas is only just surpassed by the stunning range of accessories, from bone china tea cups to big sturdy teapots.

Bubble tea drinks, now emulated in bar world, are a sweet, icy, tea filled with chewy tapioca pearls.
4 The Tea Room
It's classic high tea all the way, here: finger sandwiches, dainty cakes and chocs galore. You can also purchase a wide range of teas to take home.

There are always several teas on the go for you try instore, not to mention wall-to-wall boxes of teas and tea-making accessories including beautiful (and inexpensive) teacups and saucers.

Want an alternative to (oof) cream teas? Taka Pan and Helen Kwok's Japanese green tea house is the perfect solution.

Not only do the good folks at Ten Ren offer a huge range of Asian-style teas, but they also have all kinds of little snacks to try.
8 Kopitiam
A Malaysian style coffee house, you'll find a huge range of kooky tea and coffee based drinks as well as really tasty Malaysian dishes such as nasi lemak and roti canai.
9 Toby's Estate, Broadway
Everyone knows Toby's Estate does a roaring trade in coffee, but did you know they also have a very respectable tea range? Love their mint mix.

There is another nice tea shop in Neutral Bay, which i believe it is the best on their Chinese tea.
