    Inside

    I had a great time at this little tea shop. I wish I had known they charged an auto gratuity of 10% to everything (including merchandise) as I tipped on top of that, but what can ya do. For the first round we got traditional street chai - I got mine with macadamia nut milk and "halfway sweet" with simple syrup. It was really good. I loved the ambience and sitting on the cushions on the floor. I saw people were complaining about it being crowded, but we were there for over an hour on a Sunday and had no problems. When we left, I got my mom some Lavender Limoncello tea bags. Pretty expensive at $16- I'll need to see if it was worth it once she tries it. I also got myself an iced "forest dragon" to go- matcha, jasmine green tea, fresh mint, cardamom, coconut milk, honey. It was really good! I would return next time I'm in Asheville- keeping in mind that 10% charge that Faith and David did not tell me about (though they were both friendly enough).

    Hummus was so good
    James H.

    The place was the coolest and chillest tea house I have ever been to. There were so many types of tea to choose from. I went with one of their Japanese green teas and the hummus plate. The guy that took my order was super informative. I asked like 10 questions trying to figure out which tea was best for me. The hummus plate was so fresh and good. I really enjoyed my experience here and will definitely come back. I highly recommend this place if you love tea, hummus, and good vibes.

    Street chai tea with tea cakes!
    Ashley S.

    Everything about this place is absolutely amazing. We were there at a very busy time, and the staff worked efficiently together to serve everyone. The street chai was fantastic, and the tea cakes were phenomenal. We will absolutely be back when we are in Asheville. There are so many delicious sounding cookies, cakes, and drinks on the menu. It was hard to decide what to order. Also, even though we have no dietary restrictions we loved the gluten free tea cakes. They are just as good as any gluten filled pastries we've had at upscale bakeries and cafes.

    Nice selection of different teas in a cozy cafe setting. It was hard to choose which tea I wanted, but I chose the iced Yerba Mate. It was good, but not my favorite tea... Just personal taste; not made poorly. It was nice that it was not pre sweetened as I don't like super sweet beverages. Next time I am visiting, I would like to stop in again and try something different. Oh, there were also little fortunes at the counter to take for free which I thought was neat.

    Went to Asheville for the weekend and went to Dobra four times - I'm obsessed and wish Raleigh had something similar. I love the ambiance of this place - the downtown area has great lighting that makes the area feel rather intimate. Soft spa like music plays in the background and there's plenty of seating from regular chairs in the cafe area to areas where you take off your shoes and sit on a cushion on the floor with a low table - that was our preference. The first time around, we had hummus with veggies and a few pita slices. The hummus is a local brand called Roots and the flavors vary day to day. The location in West Asheville also has a few more treats than the downtown location. The employees are extremely helpful and take the time to bring the tea to you, teach you about how to experience the tea and the various steeping methods for each one we had. You can also purchase any of the teas and I believe some of the teawares, too. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, chill spot in AVL.

    great experience, barista was super helpful in making recommendations. ordered the black sesame hochija , great decision. Will definitley come back again. Matcha cookies were phenomenal as well. Love how it paid homage

    Dobra is exactly what I want when I envision a tea house. Its cozy, peaceful tea room and large selection will wow any tea lover. There are several tables by the window for natural light and as you move toward the back, the tea room darkens and you have a selection of low round tables with floor seating (very similar to Japanese Chabudai tables). In this section, the talking was at a hush and you remove your shoes. I had the chai and the brew was perfection. The chai was legitimate and not the boxed or liquid junk you can find in the store or other popular big name coffee shops. I added a bit of stevia and macadamia milk for a cuppa creamy, spiced goodness. Highly suggest if you need a recharge and unique tea experience while in Ashville.

    Blue magic and forest dragon cold teas
    Neisha M.

    What a cute little find! Stopped in here while walking downtown. It was not packed but had patrons tucked away in spaces enjoying the calm and quiet. We had two cold teas, the forest dragon and blue magic. I liked the blue magic more. You order at the counter and they bring it to your seating area. It was very different to other tea houses. I would definitely recommend stopping in here to take a breath and enjoy some quiet time.

    This place is all about the tea! So many types, hot and cold. Inside was quiet with many rooms to have a intimate time. They even had a room to sit on the floor shoeless. The service was quick with attention to each drink. This is a good place to relax away from the heat and huddle of downtown.

    Shak tea (Left) Golden ticket (Righr)
    Shiv P.

    I throughly enjoyed golden ticket. It has a very good balance of flavor. It is a pretty chill cafe with raised and platform group seating which allows for a unique experience. Service was pretty standard. Not bad by any means.

    Guan yin? tea with boba
    Vi L.

    I was really excited to find out that there was a Dobra in Asheville after having frequented one in Portland, Maine and loving it there. Dobra Tea has so many options, and is a really cute spot to hang out with friends and chat. Their staff is also really friendly and knowledgable about the teas and they helped me choose a few loose leaf teas to take home. If I could, I would go all the time. I wish there was a Dobra near meeee!!!

    Oolong tea with lemon, and some other flavors+ boba
    Ngan N.

    I was excited to go to Dobra Tea hoping to enjoy some delicious tea in an interesting and relaxing environment. Hate to say it but I was a little bit disappointed. Customer service was very good. The cashier was friendly and helpful. She gave me some suggestions when I asked her. No complaints about service. The place does have an interesting design that makes you feel like you're sort of not in US (like in Asia). I wanted to sit in the back but it was way too dark so I had to sit at the front. As for the drinks, and this is why I'm giving them a 3, are just normal, a bit bland and nothing special. We order 4 drinks and 2 cookies. - the oolong tea (with lemon and something else): not impressed, boba was a little hard so wouldn't recommend adding it in. - cookies were okay - matcha was good. They used good matcha powder. Not bitter.

    A sweet escape in the midst of the holiday craziness in downtown Asheville. With a fairly large tea menu there are options for everyone! The service at the register was extremely friendly and helpful and gave us great recommendations. The ambiance of the tea house was peaceful with a dim section in the back with meditation pillows circled around little tables. Super cute spot for a good cup of tea and little pastry.

It's spacious but still manages to feel cozy and charming at the same time. The vibe is adorable and a little hard to pin down.

I ordered the fancy carrot cake and it was exactly what a classic carrot cake should be. The flavor profile was spot on. Not overly sweet, not bland, just perfectly balanced with that warm spiced carrot cake taste. Paired with a cortado, it made the perfect little caffeine and sweet tooth moment. A great stop if you're wandering around Asheville and want a cozy place to sit with coffee and dessert.

Both dessert options we chose - the S'mores Tart and Black Sesame Ginger Cake - were delicious! I chose the masala tea with rooibos with oat milk and honey. I loved the way it was served, and even though I usually drink my tea straight, it was fun to experiment with the milk and honey.

My favorite parts are the aisle full of alllllll the sauces, and the wide selection of drinks ranging from canned boba to bottles of ramune soda.

The only downside is that it doesn't have the large selection of fresh meat and produce like other large Asian supermarkets I am used to back in larger cities.

The stores isn't large, but it's pretty well stocked. I have been to the larger Asian market, YZ, and I think Lee's Asian Market has a smaller overall stock of things, but what it does have, you'll get several brands. For example, I needed Pandan extract. At YZ, I could only find the McKormick's Buco Pandan flavoring. At Lee's there were 3 brands of Pandan flavoring, including the Pandan flavored paste I was looking for, which is also sold by Amazon for about $6, at Lee's it was only $1.50 or so. The owner, a nice Chinese woman speaks English pretty well and is very friendly. That's somewhat rare in Asian markets. She walked me over to the steamer area and gave me some advice on using the bamboo cone, which is what I ended up buying. She also helped me find the frozen Pandan leafs. She is super sweet and nice, which I appreciated. I also found some fresh sticky rice and sweet banana cakes near the register. They had two square Banh Tet (Vietnamese new year cakes with mung bean and pork) as well. I haven't seen fresh cakes like that at the other Asian stores, so Lee's gets bonus points for this!
