I came in to study on a Saturday. The place is packed and continues to see a nice helping of customers as the night continues. The set up is very middle Eastern I would say. The front has some wicker chairs and tables which are very small. As you move toward the back there are small sitting rooms where you take off your shoes and sit on a padded "floor". The back has some more chairs and tables. Outlets are hard to find. You most likely will share a sitting area as well. One note is, I think they have a wifi limit where only a certain number of people can connect. I tried all night to get a connection and could not for any of my devices, nor could my friend. Overall the ambiance is catered toward chatting rather than studying as the tables are very small and slow or no wifi. I like the night vibes it has though, we need more late night 3rd spaces like this one!! I got a hummus plate and ginger tea. The ginger tea was just okay. The ginger was overpowering in not a good way. It highlighted the spiciness of ginger without letting any type of "tea flavor" through. It tasted more like ginger water. For a tea house, I thought it would have more depth. The hummus platter was very yummy! The pita was warm and the olive oil on the hummus added a nice touch to it. I think I would have enjoyed the experience more had the tables not been as wobbly, the WiFi worked at any point, the tea had a bit more nuance to it, and the cloying smell wasn't there. It is a very good chatting spot for late night meetings ups with great food! read more

Dobra Tea - Hummus plate - Tea Rooms Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I love this place! It's not always the best to study, because sometimes it can get really packed and crammed but honestly it's so cozy and the vibes are great here! I'm always impressed with their selection of teas and snacks and I loved trying new things each time! It's such a great experience, you can choose from sitting at a small table or closer to the ground. read more

Dobra Tea - Tea Rooms Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I was a fan of this tea shop and wish more cities had locations like these compared to coffee shops. There was an extremely large selection of tea from varying countries. It was nice to learn about different types of tea since I've mainly tried east Asian teas. The aesthetic of the place is really nice too. I was able to get a solid amount of work done sitting on the floor with a table in a secluded corner. Being able to steep and pour tea into small cups for my friends in a place outside of my home was surprisingly more therapeutic than I had anticipated. I do wish that they had more food options that would complement the tea more. I paired our tea with some hummus and finger snacks, but I think more could have been done there. Overall, I recommend trying out this tea shop instead of a coffee shop for a change! read more

An absolute must when in Pittsburgh! I came here on a casual Saturday afternoon with a friend, and we had no trouble finding a table. We opted to share a mezze platter of two dips - baba ghanoush and Muhammara. It came with pita bread, and was absolutely delicious (and surprisingly so filling)! We also shared a pistachio rose pastry which was nutty and flavorful. Everything was paired with a large pot of Burmese green tea, which ended up being about three cups of tea per person. The ambience was wonderful and the service was good. Will definitely be recommending Dobra tea to everybody who stops by Pittsburgh. read more

What a cute place! It feels like you're transported to Morocco when you come here. They have a really large selection of teas and they're all really cool! I really liked the mint teas they offer and they serve it Moroccan style with sugar in it. Love all the cool teapots and cups. Staff is nice here and accommodated us even though we showed up pretty late. They open till 10 pm at night which is cool. The seating is really nice inside. It's kinda funny people watching here since it's a lot of young college kids on dates. read more

Get the chai!!! Whew. I wake up craving this drink. It's my favorite taste on a chilly and cloudy Pittsburgh day. And most of the days are that way. Service is fine, everyone is attentive enough and gets our order correct. The atmosphere is cozy but almost always crowded. The cushioned sections are fan favorites. I love to snuggle up but groups often have to merge bc there's not much space. They do have some foods but not an extensive list. This is a gem of Pittsburgh! read more

Lovely place to hang out and drink good tea. Their catalogue is almost endless and I would like to try all of the teas someday! I had the chai and it was a perfect mix of flavors. Staff was very kind. read more

As a recent semi-regular customer, I recommend Dobra Tea as a wonderful healthier alternative to other beverage establishments, like cafes and bars. I always wanted to be able to go to places other than bars that are also open later at night if needed, and Dobra Tea fits the bill. The menu of teas is very large--from black, green, oolong, herbal, white, and more. They prepare good Chai, and I like to try out new interesting teas from around the world and learn how to even steep more tea for yourself. For food, they have a selection of vegan treats to go with the tea, along with some wholesome food options, like soups. My go-to is the Hummus Plate with a side of Tzatziki, which goes well for dipping with the vegetables. The ambience is very comfortable and relaxed with all the ethnic textiles and decorations. There are chairs with the tables, but also places to sit on the floor with low tables for a laid-back experience. You can have a conversation, study or do work here, or even just relax (I've seen someone meditate here). Ringing a bell when you're ready to order creates a nice vibration and aura. The hospitality is great overall. read more

Phenomenal as in it really is one of a kind here LOL. First off, the decorations/vibes of this place transports you to like a new world -- but a confused world LMAO-- japanese decorations on the walls and asian style seating but indian style rugs and etc etc LOL Tea is absolutely delicious. Chai chai chai & bombay chai were amazing and so soothing. Got the earl grey lemon sandwich cookie, comes in a set of 2-- quite small but very delicious esp paired with the teas. Teas do come piping hot tho ill have to say HAHA, took me a couple of minutes to be able to hold it up but my gf has mom hands so she was ok. Studyable if you get a table --2 people per but more yappable brunch tea sesh if you get a on the ground table-- fits like 4-5. read more

I go to Dobra when I want to treat myself. One pot of tea and a sweet treat in the eclectic atmosphere is enough to turn around an afternoon. The staff try to be helpful, and you'll meet an interesting cross section of Pittsburgh there. read more

Dobra Tea - Bombay chai! - Tea Rooms Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Dobra is a cozy tea house that has such a huge collection of teas. We had a masala chai, peach cobbler chai, almond butter brownie, and dolmades. I loved the ambiance and variety of teas available, but would not recommend getting food there. I wasn't impressed by the quantity for the prices (3 dolmas and a tiny brownie), and the dolma didn't taste fresh. For service if you're dining in, you ring the bell on your table. In theory, this is a nice concept so you can take your time with ordering, but there was a time when I wasn't sure if our waiter could hear us ringing it or knew who had rung a bell. The tea was excellent though. read more

I thought I had left a review here long back but must not have. My sister got me to really like Dobra. The 5 is honestly and mainly for its overall feel and vibe of the restaurant. It's usually busy when I go, so I unfortunately miss out on sitting in the comfy, lounge area. Luckily, the tea and good made up for it !!!! I ordered: (1.) THAI ICED TEA - truly fresh ingredients and delicious (2.) GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH WITH TOMATO SOUP DIP SAUCE - OMG ! Heavenly ! Have yet to have a sandwich this decadent and deliciously made. The kettle cooked chips are crispy and yummy to dip in the tomato soup dip. (3.) TEA CAKE - I can not recall the flavor, but it was really yummy and NOT overly sweet. (4.) HUMMUS - ALWAYS a healthy side treat. I always come back so not to worry because I will be back !!!!! read more

I love everything about this tea shop. A great place to study, play cards, catch up with friends, or read. Cozy vibes. They have so many options for tea! I had the Marsala Rooibos with oat milk and an iced butterfly kiss. Both were delicious. Friendly staff. I was visiting for the week and came 4 times while I was there. If I lived in Pittsburgh I would definitely be a regular. They have some snack items food wise as well. All around super cool spot in Squirrel Hill! read more

4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here. Skip to the end to see my rating scale. To put this in perspective, I'm not a tea guy at all. Despite being white collar I very much have blue collar sensibilities. So I'm a beer and black coffee sort of fella. With that in mind, I really loved this place. They have neither tea nor beer, but what I very much appreciate about Dobra is their welcoming service and their knowledge of their product. Our server might have been the best I've ever had at any establishment. She really knew her stuff and could describe the flavors you could expect from the pretty impressive encyclopedia of teas that were available. Our party got three that were all pretty different and her descriptions of each were right on. More importantly, all three were excellent. Now, I am pretty out of place in such a venue, but we were treated like gold by everyone there. I thoroughly enjoyed my drink, the friendly vibe, and all despite being an atmosphere that's outside of my comfort zone. So even though I'd typically hang out at a coffee shop if I was working remotely for a morning, I would gladly hang out at Dobra every now and then even though it's a 45 minute drive from home. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here read more

What a charming spot! This is a great place to relax with friends if you're looking for a quiet place that isn't a bar.

We also enjoyed some of the treats and snacks available. Lovely place! read more

SOILD 5 STARS!!! I went here and was greeted very politely. The server was really nice. I got the black milk bubble tea and it was amazing. Many different snacks and all vegetarian and/or vegan.

A very cute little spot good for hanging out, having a little treat, and trying something new! I've been to Dobrá a handful of times over the years and always find myself satisfied with my choices. Things I like: - the ambiance is super cozy! A great place to study, perfect for catching up with old friends, they have board games and zines and the actual seating is very comfortable! - The earl grey cookie (pictured) is so good! Looking at them I thought they'd be crunchy, but was surprised and delighted with how soft the cookie is! The filling is sweet and smooth but the cookie maintains a floral and slightly bitter flavor that compliments the filling. They come in twos which is perfect for sharing :) - The jasmine lemonade is a go to for me. So floral and refreshing, not too sour at all, lightly sweet and just the best little treat. I'm not even a lemonade girlie at all but I can't recommend enough! - Great retail space. Fun to look at while you wait for your to-go order. Things I'm not crazy about: - To get it out of the way, it is expensive. For two drinks and 2 small cookies it cost over $20. Not necessarily prohibitive, but not in my regular rotation. I've had a similar quality of flavor in both tea and baked goods for cheaper in the city. - Wait times are long (BUT this is to be expected due to the process of brewing the tea) something to consider if you want to just pop in and out. I would recommend staying and hanging out and enjoying the space if there's room! - I was surprised by the lack of flavor in their masala chai. For the price and time I expected it to be more flavorful, but it tasted completely comparable to getting a cheap bagged tea. Mostly like warm slightly sweet milk. Overall, I'd recommend! They have a really interesting and delicious food and tea menu. If you're just a casual tea drinker it may not be worth the price point to try more than once, but maybe the cute space will bring you back :) read more

Ladies and gentlemen. The Queen of Pittsburgh tea. Dobra. Hands down best service and tea experience ever. The folks here not only know their stuff but are kind and willing to help you learn more about tea. I will say the menu can be overwhelming for even an experienced tea drinker. It's literally a binder folks. But the Dobra team will chat to you about your preferences and help you narrow in on a tea of your liking. Everything I've ever tried pastry or tea wise has been either a slam dunk or at least an experience I'm glad I tried. For the vegan, non dairy folk this is a good spot to find snacks that you can actually eat. I will say the hotcha (rosemary) and baba ghanoush is my favorite menu staples. And I'm always leaving with baklava. Always. Side note, this place has vibes on vibes on vibes. The seating arrangements are unique and you should experience it for yourself. read more

Dobra Tea - Hotcha and baklava and daifuku - Tea Rooms Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I so badly wanted to love this place, but unfortunately can't say I do... Chai is very sweet I recommend asking for less sugar/sweetness Matcha - I ordered mine as a latte and was given just a cup of oat milk... it was pretty disappointing and i tried to ask the staff making it why it didn't look green and showed them pics I had seen other reviews have from Dobra (sourced from Dobra's yelp/instagram accounts) and a person working there said that it was because I ordered it with milk... Unfortunately that's not true when it comes to matcha, I wish they had prepared it properly because I just did not taste any matcha flavor. I have had / made many matchas before and with lattes the color would appear to be a green drink. The flavor and color of the matcha just was not there. So I do not recommend this place for matcha lattes. They have alternative milks available (i believe soy, oat). As stated on other reviews confirming that milk and sugar are extra costs/add-ons. I can't speak for their other tea offerings, and this is just my personal experience! read more

Dobra Tea is a one of a kind gem in Squirrel Hill with a vast selection of teas from around the world. I have been here before but today I introduced my friend who is newer to the city. We got the coziest little seating spot. After we sat down we kept waiting for a server to come and they didn't until we went up to them. But later we realized that there are little bells they place on the tables so you can let them know when you have a need- and we happened to not have a bell on our table. Oops! No big deal. When we did get his attention our server was pleasant and prompt. I got the Molihua Cha (Chinese Jasmine green tea). I got the small pot but I got 4 cups out of it that were still amazing. She got the Masala Chai and said it was the perfect balance of spice and sweetness. The atmosphere is beautiful. I really feel like I'm immersed in a different culture. The time flew by as we enjoyed tea and conversation. You can spend hours here and it's lovely. Definitely check this place out! It's worth your time. read more

My fiancé and I love this place, and we come here almost weekly. The variety in the menu is impressive, and the prices are very reasonable. I recommend "Memories of Prague", "Bombay Chai", or a Yerba Mate, but there is something for everyone. Even the food is good, and we got hooked on muhammara because of Dobra. The inside is really cozy with tables, couches, and even an area you sit on the floor after taking your shoes off. The staff have always been kind as well, and they are very knowledgeable about the teas. read more

Dobra Tea - Tea setup + the menu - Tea Rooms Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Comfortable tea shop. Ordered 3 things and two were good and one was a hot cup of nothing, literally. The Eastern Winds tea was a berry blend that was excellent. The goji squares snacks are the same things Whole Foods sells in bulk. In fact, I'm actually pretty sure that these are from Whole Foods. Not a bad thing, they're good, and only $4 for about 7 of them so there's not even a real mark-up. Then there was the Cherry Blossom tea, that had absolutely zero flavor, no matter how long it steeped. Literally, zero flavor, it was just slightly off-color water. There was no cherry. Nothing blossomed. I really liked this place and wanted to give 5 stars, but when 50% of your tea tastes like dirty water, I gotta dock a point. read more

This teahouse is a gem and as a tea lover, I have found it is rare to find teahouses with the immense amount of choices like they have here. Because coffee culture overrules tea culture in the US, tea lovers must unite!

Really interesting place in the heart of Squirrel Hill. You grab a small binder with their teas listed out in detail. The selection is impressive. I had a cinamonny tea that was super tasty, and I enjoyed the presentation - a pretty pot with a tiny red, angular tea cup. The only drawback - you have to ring a tiny bell on your table when you're ready for service, but I did at the same time as 3 other tables. The server was rightly concerned. And it took quite some time to receive my tea. That said -- the tea was really good, and I look forward to returning. They have a separate food menu, but I had already had lunch. read more
