About this business
Both an eatery and a retail outlet, this tranquil place has everything, including teapots, cups and loose teas. It is one of the oldest tearooms in the city. The Tao of Tea is divided into a tea-house that serves food and a tea-only room. Try appetizing Indian and Japanese foods, such as Japanese Miso Flatbread and a lentil soup called Dal. The tea assortment is vast, including teas with selections like Japanese Matcha, Taiwanese Oolong and South American Yerba Mate. This is a quiet, elegant place, good for thinking, reading... read more

Perfect place to relax. Perfect place to relax. I have been looking for a place like this for so long and I have finally found it near the area. They have tea and also coffee but their tea selection is great.
Such a shame that there are negative fake reviews about some of the most fabulous restaurants in town, put together with such care. I'm a very happy customer with Tao of Tea. There's even rumors that websites like this hire people to write crappy reviews to profit from their removal--that or a competing restaurant will do it. Sad you have to ignore most of these reviews, and ratings. Tao of Tea is hot, everybody knows it, so get over it.
Very soothing atmosphere Very calm and soothing. They have fountains surrounding small quaint tables. Their tea selection is great and the staff is friendly.
Tao Of Tea is on of my favorite place to go! Really like to take my kids here and dine alone. great place to read a book. quiet, tranquil fountains, yummy tea and great food. i really like the dinner ware. the copper water cups are a nice touch too.
Great tea selection, worst service I've had in Portland – Although I live right across the street from the Tao of Tea, I hadn't been in there until today. I wish I hadn't gone today either. Although the tea was good, the service was slow and the servers unhelpful. Although there was only a small table open, and we communicated with the server that we were hoping to move to a larger table, when we finally did so we were told off. It seemed to completely throw off the ability of their one server to remember where we were seate... read more
Very peaceful spot This tea shop is centrally located on Belmont, across the street from the Avalon. The teas are aromatic and flavorful, and the staff is really knowledgeable. For instance, my dad told me he wanted some tea with a specific taste. I was able to describe the taste to the employees, and they knew exactly what i was talking about. They also serve food- delicious vegan appetizers in a space that's inviting as well as calming.
slow but cozy – It's a quaint little place, but the service is slow. They're probably understaffed, but we were ignored for about 25 minutes after sitting down at a table while others were not. I had to go get menus myself. The tea is good, and the atmosphere is nice, but it was frustrating being constantly ignored throughout the visit.
ack, what happened?! – This used to be SUCH a nice, quiet, zen, peaceful place to have tea and snacks with your significant other, date or family member. BUT. Either the ownership has changed or something else has changed because it's not the paradise it was a year ago. The plants were dying (Bad Feng Shui, people), they're under-staffed and the food is not as good anymore. This makes me want to cry.
i used to like this place – The past several times I've gone here, it's been pretty bad, on top of it being expensive. The daal is too salty, the kombucha is too weak and sweet, and the guy who always works there argued with me when I sent something back because it was disgusting. It made me angry, and I vowed never to go back to that overpriced hole again, but alas, I have to admit that i have been back since. The atmosphere is very calming and nice (then that guy isn't working there, that is), and they are open pretty late... read more
