Tea time
Vanessa G.

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

Large Iced Bourbon Vanilla Frappe

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.

My go-tos are the honey cinnamon latte and cafe de olla, and they hit the spot EVERY time.

Bird Rock Coffee, a San Diego native named for the little town in La Jolla known for its rock formations along the coast inhabiting various seabirds, has expanded quite a bit all across the county and this location is just as unique as the others I've visited. Attached to the cafe, you'll get a glimpse into their roasting operations. What started as a micro-roaster, this chain has garnered a following near and far for their single origins, blends, and specialty drinks. As you arrive to this location, you'll find that there's limited parking relative to the size of this building. As you step foot into the shop, you'll understand why - most of their footprint is occupied by their roasting equipment but the dining space is still relatively large compared to more niche coffee shops. Situated with small tables as well as bench tops, during my weekend excursion, there was never a time that it was completely packed so you're bound to find a spot to camp. Outlets are also available from certain spots. Ordering is simple which can be done at the register or online. The menu is quite extensive with all things coffee but consider checking their online menus as I found items like their double cappuccino that wasn't advertised on their physical menus. If you do order through their mobile app, you'll automatically get reward points toward free drinks or food. Speaking of special offers, they also offer birthday goodies so when it's that time of the year, you're in for a treat! I did end up getting the double cappuccino and it was delicious and came out hot with just enough foam to add volume to each sip. If I weren't traveling with so much stuff, I would have considered getting their bags of beans to brew at home. Fortunately, they do offer a subscription and delivery through their website so for those like me looking for a taste from afar, you're in luck! From dark to light roasts, you'll have quite a few options with the notes you desire. The staff were friendly and helpful despite constantly at full capacity. Drinks kept churning out with the same consistent quality and hospitality. Overall, Bird Rock is a local roaster you'll want to check out as their growing operations is a clear result of their consistent product quality, accessibility through its many locations and ordering methods, and excellent service. This location in particular is just blocks away from the huge playground and park next to mission bay, albeit you're better off driving. I was much too full to grab food this around but it may be worth a try to go with the coffee next time. Whether you're a local or just visiting, consider making a trip out and roost on this rock for a while!

Their milk chocolate mocha with light ice was delicious It made me very happy and our pup was super happy with the treat they gave him. They have a small bakery display which I passed on since we were getting brunch soon, but I'm sure there's something for everyone there. This location is open 7 days a week- 6:30am-1pm. Limited street parking as expected...it's Mission Beach. 5 stars! Check them out!

I was wearing my favorite Monterey Bay Aquarium sweatshirt and he commented on how that aquarium is one of his favorites! Me too! He asked me what was my favorite thing about the aquarium and I told him the sea otters. I asked what his favorite was and he said the jellyfish exhibition and omg that was soo good! I remember being at that exhibit for awhile as the jellyfish light up and there are so many kinds and so cool to see how they move! In any case, it was so nice to talk about an aquarium we both love!! The Hawaiian matcha was great! I love that they used their Hawaiian syrup in my drink. The drink was pricey, so with oat milk substitution, and a tip, it came to $10.
