    Tea time

    Galentines 2026 was a hit at point Loma tea. This year we decided to pay for a private tea room and have the cutest tea party. It came with 2 of the most delicious teas ive ever tried. The food was so good and so were the desserts. We ladies had one of the best get together for our galentines. The room is so engaging so many amazing convos to be had. Highly recommend you book. We will most definitely be back.

    I love this place, all the items they have are so cute and you can tell the owner is very passionate and knowledgable about her work! She had so many options for loose leaf tea, and if you didn't see what you need you could ask her and she could potentially look for it and add it to her inventory! She also was selling a "blind date with a tea flight" which I thought was such a fun idea. They even had cute little tea pets. Not only did they have the loose leaf and the fun tea accessories, you could also order drinks or reserve a high tea session. I was also able to bring my dog into the shop which was nice. There is a bathroom available for customers. I highly recommend checking this place out, it is such a hidden gem!

    Super cute tea shop! I haven't looked for a loose leaf tea shop since before Covid, so it's nice to see this one is around. I have a long time family friend that absolutely loves teas but is particular to what kinds. She has food sensitivities, so I need to be extra careful. The store has an entire wall of teas. Different drinking containers, and to a variety of tea kettles. I love seeing the different kinds of cast iron tea kettles. Great for gifts or if you have a tea kettle collection. The store can get quite busy and packed on the weekends, so it may take some time to get some help. Staff there were great and really friendly. They were knowledgeable and able to answer my questions, recommend teas and package up everything nicely to give as a gift. Located within Liberty station, it was really easy to find. Parking at Liberty station can be tricky since it's always packed, but we were lucky to be able to park right outside the store. If you love tea, give them a try! 2025: 19

    Stopped by this cute tea spot and had a great experience! I ordered the bourbon vanilla frappe, and it was a delightful blend of rich flavors--smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. My friend selected one of their premium green tea selections, which was nicely prepared with wonderful service. Point Loma Tea offers a huge array of whole leaf teas in Liberty Station next to the Public Market. Enjoy freshly brewed tea inside or get some sun and sipping with the outdoor seating nearby. A tea lover's paradise!

    I've been buying my Teas here for 8 years now. I miss the previous owner, but the lady who took over this place is also a sweet and cool person, she's very helpful with Teas and shes very entertaining. I was in the area dinning near by, so I stopped by here at Point Loma Tea, even though I still have a lot of Stocks of Tea. I can't help myself from getting more from this store. I got: *ROCK SUGAR *PINA COLLADA TEA *2 ICE TEA REFRESHERS *A small DECOR *MUG (For my sweet yelper friend) *HONEY ALMOND CAKE tea *STRAWBERRY MANGO tea *KOKO NUTS tea This store has a lot of delicious Tea selections and beautiful Tea decors for your house, for your office, or as a gift. They also have a small area for Private Tea Parties on the other room just accross their store entrance door. Sherry is very lovely and very knowledgeable on all her Teas. Thank you for all the delicious tea selections for us to shop with and of course thank you coming from the Same Navy Seabee battalion , Hoorah Seabees!!!

    This was such a cute spot. I loved everything about it. It's located in a big plaza but a little hidden. It was lime a little treasure hunt to find but it was definitely worth it! I am a big tea head so I like to check out different tea spots and this one was hitting the spot for me. It was cute inside and they had a whole section where they make the tea in front of you and demonstrate and explain the notes. It's such a hidden gem! The batista that made our tea was also very sweet and helpful. It was a nice spot to stop on our drive back home and she made it feel like I was hanging out at a friend's spot grabbing some tea. Make sure to make a stop here!

    We had an absolutely fabulous afternoon tea service at Point Loma Tea. It was the perfect choice to celebrate our mother's birthday. The location is intimate and charming and there was a delicious selection of finger sandwiches and desserts as well as a diverse offering of teas. We loved browsing in the shop after and picked up some more teas and gifts to bring home. Sherryann and her staff were wonderful! Highly recommend!

    I was strolling down liberty station today and it was a very chilly day so I decided to try some tea from this place and I'm honestly disappointed. The ladies took forever to take our order and there was just another party in front of us. And also noticed they were making snarky comments. That didn't sit right with me. The teas are pretty pricey too. My tea wasn't too good, but my wife really liked hers. The place is okay, they have bunch of things to purchase but I noticed some of them were already expired.

    I was birthday shopping for one of my cousins who happens to love tea. I had heard of Point Loma Tea, but had never been, so last week I decided to check it out. It is located right next to Liberty Public Market. I was there midday on a Wednesday, and found a parking spot in the lot just next to the shop. When I walked in, I was the only customer there. There were two staff members who nicely greeted me. The store is cute and has lots of tea, of course, but also lots of fun gifts and decorations. They have a small bar area where you can purchase a tea to drink, as well as a back wall area where they have over 250 types of tea from all over the world. I was informed that I could buy samples, for a cup or so of tea, a large pack of tea, or a flight of various teas. I looked around for a bit, and not certain what exact flavor my cousin would enjoy, I chose the flight of herbal teas. I had stopped by during lunch, and decided that I would like a large cup of tea for myself to get me through the rest of the workday. I chose a hot Bon Bon tea, which was listed as one of the flavors of the day. I relaxed while they steeped my tea. The tea was warm and delicious, and provided me with the kick I needed to finish my work day. On my way out, I noticed a small room that was decorated for Valentines day with tea service dishes, and a couple of ladies sipping tea. It appears that they use this for afternoon tea, and tea tastings. I felt that it was a very nice and conveniently located tea shop. There were, however, a couple of places where it fell a bit short. I felt it was more of a place to grab my tea and go, rather than a place where I would sit and sip my tea, as it didn't have the atmosphere that invited me to stay. I think if they made the bar seating area more modern and slightly more spacious (maybe by clearing off some of the stuff that was for sale on the bar), and changed up the music, it would be much more inviting. The muzak/ elevator music that played while I was there, could be changed up for some light techno, or perhaps something either more classic or modern in order to provide ambiance. The other issue I had was the tea packaging. Each packet in the flight I bought had a small logo for Point Loma Tea, but when looking at the packaged flight as a whole, it reminded me of something I would find at a Home Goods store rather than something from a trendy, local tea shop. All in all, it was a great place to shop for a tea lover's birthday, and a nice place to get a flavorful tea to go.

    Love coming here for tea! I love the coco tea! I also love the baklava tea, the vanilla macaroon (i believe it's called) and the chai! I'm excited to try more! They smell AMAZING and taste great too!

    Jason P.

    Super friendly and helpful staff...actually took the time to explain the brewing/steeping process while making our drink. Very inviting/welcoming environment. An interesting selection of hot and cold drink options...reasonably priced in the $4-6 range. The store has lots of tea-making items including cups, spoons, steepers and...tea! They actually have a huge wall of a wide variety of teas...some interesting options including Butterbeer! I believe there is also a tea room you can reserve to host an event.

I wanted something a little extra, and this spot delivered. I ordered a custom lavender iced matcha with honey cold foam and wow... it was such a good call. The lavender wasn't overpowering, just light and calming, and paired so well with the earthy matcha. That honey cold foam on top? Chef's kiss. It added the perfect touch of sweetness without making the drink feel heavy. Every sip was smooth, balanced, and honestly kind of addicting. What really stood out though was the service. It was my first time and I had zero clue what to get, but the girl at the register was so sweet and patient. She took her time helping me figure out a combo I'd love and made the whole experience feel really welcoming instead of rushed. You can also customize your milk (coconut, etc.), which I always appreciate. The shop itself is adorable. Think soft pink, super cute, aesthetic vibes all around. There's even an upstairs area that's set up for tea parties, which is such a fun touch and makes it feel a little more special than your average coffee spot. They also have pastries and small bites, so it's not just drinks if you're feeling snacky. Overall, this place is such a vibe. Great drinks, genuinely kind service, and a space that makes you want to hang out a little longer. Definitely coming back to try more of their menu.

I tried the same one i heard that customer order, iced purple papaya and i added agave for sweetener. It was so refreshing.

So we decided on Nonna's for their variety of pastas and pizza. The evening was packed with people up and down the streets. However, when we arrived at Nonna's we only had to wait no more than a couple of minutes before being seated. We thought most italian places would provide some sort of complimentary bread, but this place did not. We ended up ordering the Carbonara, Fusilli Alla Vodka, Pappardelle, and Salsiccia pizza. Each were fantastic, but the family really enjoyed the Fusilli and the Pappardelle the most! The short rib meat was extremely tender and flavorful. Portions were a little smaller than expected, but it was enough to feed each of us with a couple slices of pizza to spare. Ambiance was nice and the staff was great. A drink we ordered was forgotten, but it's understandable since it was quite busy. Overall, great experience and glad we ended up at Nonna's even though it wasn't part of the batch of recommendations provided online.
