Super cute tea shop with amazing pastries, sandwiches, soups and more! Booked a themed tea to celebrate a significant event. It was an Alice in Wonderland theme with several pots of tea which we could choose the flavors and a host of unique and yummy appetizers, sandwiches and desserts. All were artfully displayed on beautiful platters. Tea pots and tea cups were adorable! They were great about accommodating vegetarian and food allergies. Highly recommend checking them out for the full experience or just some tea and sweets to go! read more

Went here for the first time for the Pride Tea event. Reservations were easy to make and they worked with me in advance on my extensive allergen list. They were so very fantastic about the whole thing. Then I showed up and it got BETTER! Food was unbelievably good. They made things to replace stuff I couldn't have due to the allergens so I still got a full serving tray like my companion did. It was so very amazing! Several hours later and no allergen issues so they did a stellar job with that as well. I'm definitely going again! read more

Super friendly staff, my goodness, how nice to find these days! I was greeted immediately by so many friendly faces! Kielbasa and cheddar kolache = heaven in your mouth!

These are offered to go and I will definitely be coming back for this treat! Many people were here for a tea service, oh how fantastic! It is so classy and I can't wait to come back and try the full menu! read more

Wow..I had their beyond meat Kolache and two types of scones from Snapdragon tea and I really loved all of them! The bakeries were good! You don't get that heavy filling of eating unhealthy things at all. Instead, you get a light, satisfying feeling after eating them! I will definitely want to stop by Snapdragon tea again (hoping my available time lines up with the hours they open!). But..for those interested in Snapdragon, stop by for some tea/coffee and snacks! They tasted good that I plan on going back to try their other offerings for sure! read more

This was a really fun breakfast stop. I loved that they let you have an a la carte high tea. We really enjoyed the bizcochito green tea latte with oat milk and appreciated that it was not overly sweet. We also liked the blueberry cornbread. The veg beyond kolache filling was yummy. I wished it had a green chile in it but it was very flavorful ! I think the kolache dough was a little thiner (less of it) than some of the kolaches I tried in TX but we still really liked it and very much enjoyed the full high tea experience . I really liked the art from local artists on the walls, the cute decor. Service was good and friendly. read more

Wonderful experience at Snapdragon Tea! We were greeted right away and came at an early time before afternoon tea. We grabbed seating right away before their rush of parties. We got the full experience after ordering a pot of Vintage Earl Grey, and we got to choose our pot. Milk and cubed sugar were provided afterward. We also were told my plant based burrito would take extra time, which was fine bc we wanted to enjoy a scone while with our tea while we waited. Our server/cashier was so accommodating and checked on us a few times, even suggested to dip our scones in our tea. We ordered the pistachio rose and lemon rosemary scones, along with the plant based and sausage and egg burritos. Everything was tasty, and we will likely be back to try out their afternoon high tea sets. We noticed by noon that everyone was trickling in for their tea time parties. Cute details to notice: 1) Painting your own ceramic dragon for sale 2) Color your own dragon (on paper) while you wait 3) Cute dragon stickers for sale 4) Books to peruse 5) Cute cat tea pots with its own case for sale 6) Vintage seating area read more

My wife went vegetarian so we always look for new places serving plant based foods. Well, today we hit the jackpot! Snapdragon Tea is amazing, cozy and VERY delicious while still being healthy. I had the savory mushroom soup (no cream) and loved it. And the Quinoa and Root veg salad had beets and sweet potatoes with the yummiest vinaigrette ! Also enjoyed the local Unicorn kombucha. The ambiance is costly and charming like your grandma's kitchen. Board games available to play. This place also features New Mexico Tea (that great company on Mountain) so this is my new favorite place. read more

Sometimes a gal just needs to throw on a fancy dress and surround herself with fancy lil things whilst nibbling on fancy lil noshes whilst sipping out of fancy lil teacups, yes?!? As an avid tea aficionado, I can testify that our city has several magnificent teahouses that are each so truly unique and offer such vastly distinctive experiences that there really is no comparing them one to another, apples to oranges in the most splendid way. My exploration at Snapdragon Tea was absolutely delightful and as expected, completely different than any of my other tea adventures. There is clearly a lot of creativity & care in preparation and presentation, and there was an underlying simplicity that reminded me of the things I love most about afternoon tea...an element of escapism from the cruelties of life that pretty lil nibbles on pretty lil dishes offer to which my soul replies with silent adoration between smiles and sighs and sips of tea. The interior space has an open dining atmosphere which suited me just fine and lots of lovely touches throughout, can I just say how smitten I was with my sweet lil sugar bowl?!? Adorbzzz. Walk ins welcome T-F 8am-1pm for tea, coffee, pastries, sandwiches, soup & salad ~ Afternoon tea Fri, Sat & Su 10am-4pm, reservations online available and easy to navigate. Vegan and gluten free options available! Anddd, I love the local sourcing: UrbanMama505 Kombucha, NM Tea Co. teas to name a few. From what I understand this business continues to grow and evolve, from the commissary kitchen off of 4th to working out of Mila's Mesa to their own storefront in The Bricklight District on Harvard. They also cater tea parties, buffets, themed parties, you name it! I could definitely see my teenage daughter enjoying a rendezvous with her besties here, but this teahouse is most certainly meant to enjoyed by all ages, young and old alike ! Final thoughts on the menu, the chamomile compassion was superb, first course: strawberry scone (luxurious), pink salad (light & refreshing) with watermelon lemonade (complete with sparkles, darling!). The savory course included a chicken empanada with stuffing & some sort of cranberry relish wonderland...sumptuous! And the buttery richness and texture of the crust! Smashed potato with pink tahini & garlic aioli sauce was quite tasty. I chose a creamy early gray to enjoy the pink parfait ( layers of fruit, jello & panna cotta) and raspberry cupcake (indulgent raspberry filling in the center)! I took home some kombucha, a chorizo & potato kolache and cup of tomato & lentil soup, marvelous! read more

We went to the Barbie themed event because my 5 year old loves pink. There were some Barbie themed things in the shop, but we were able to avoid most of it and just enjoy the pinkness. Small location, so when we arrived I was worried that we were going to be packed in like sardines ( based on previous experiences at other tea houses in town). But no, we had our own space and plenty of it (see picture). Service with smile and really cared that everyone had a good time. What doesn't show up on the photos is the edible glitter added to the watermelon lemonade. That was just stunning! Food was delicious, large portions, with a good mix of savory, sweet and super sweet, balanced well with the 3 pots of tea that we selected. They also have options to rent out whole place for birthday parties, baby showers, etc, so the 5 year old might get a 6th birthday tea party here next year. read more

I enjoyed a tasty lunch today with intentions of coming back for the tea experience. I ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage, cheese, and egg inside. I was asked if I wanted green chili in the burrito or on the side, and I was given the option for mild or hot chili! I chose in the side with mild. As an egg lover, I was very happy that there was no skipping on eggs in the burrito! The sausage had a good flavor, the tortilla was crisped up with a crisp outer edge! I loved it! I also ordered the lemon blueberry scone, which was hefty and shareable! It had a nice glaze on top-perfect to go with tea. I was on the way to the airport and didn't have time to sip tea but will do so another time! I sat with friend Shelly in some comfy upholstered lower chairs and table off to the side. It's a bright ambiance with windows bringing in the daylight. Friendly wait staff and clean tables and chairs. The food came out fairly fast. We went just after the spring semester let out, so I would assume it would be more busy when the students are around! The prices seemed very reasonable, and there are several vegetarian/vegan options. read more

Went with my friend who lives in the area for a quick bite. The food and tea were delicious, and the atmosphere and owner were absolutely lovely. It was kind of fun to have the crayons and small paper patterns for Halloween to color while we waited for our teas and meals. We both also got scones, which were large and very good. I can't believe I didn't stumble upon this place earlier, and will definitely be back! No pics because I was hungry and ate my food too fast, but I would die for that mushroom soup recipe. Unique and so so good! read more

Went to Snapdragon for Cat themed tea party with a couple girlfriends. It was such a lovely experience, staff is knowledgeable and kind, food and tea was tasty.

Had a great experience here! My friend and I have made it our mission to try all the tea places in Albuquerque, and Snapdragon was this month's pick. The food was good (and good-sized portions, too, you won't leave hungry) and the teas we had were very smooth and bright. Attentive service and the staff are friendly- you feel very welcome here. I also bought some prickly pear scones to take home (delicious). For the price point, which is very affordable compared to some of the other tea places, I would definitely come back. read more

The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean and very cute. The tea was decent. It's not the best Jasmine Green tea I've had but I would get it again. The breakfast burrito was huge! My only true complaint and it's definitely personal preference is the horrible paper straws. I should have just taken the lid off however I was with my toddler so it wasn't an option for hers. read more

I visited Snapdragon Tea for the first time today with my mom, and we both LOVED it! The place is adorable and the staff was very friendly. We ordered a la carte from the cafe menu, and they still cut everything into smaller pieces and put it on a tiered tray, making it more fun and easier to share. We had sandwiches, tea, and scones, and took kombucha to go. Everything was delicious, and I can't wait to return! I'm so glad that Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury shared this gem on her Instagram page because now it's one of my favorites too! read more

We tried this place out after going to the other two tea spots in Albuquerque for years. The food is so-so that tastes like it comes from a lunchable. The "dessert" was a Duncan Hines brownie and a nutter butter that was cut in half and made to look like a rabbit slipper. We also had the who hash, which was grated sweet potato; it was crispy at the edges and not cooked in the middle (think hard rather than soft) with a dollop of sour cream and paprika on top. The tea was okay, but nothing spectacular (the biscochito tea didn't taste like anything). All of that cost a whopping $85 after tip. For about the same price I could have a much higher quality food and tea elsewhere. I will say our server was really nice (Jordan) and did a great job, so the service would get five stars. read more

Our plant-based burrito and tempeh reuben were heavenly! You don't always find vegan food with such satisfying flavors and textures! The service and ambiance were both lovely, too, and we can't wait to come back for high tea! read more

Soooo cute. Great selection of teas and very kind and attentive service. Went with my partner for a tea party and we both loved the sweet and savory treats. We left absolutely stuffed and took the rest home lol. As a vegan I was so thrilled with all the options. They put so much work into the menu here and it really shows. Everything was really good. Will definitely come here again read more

We went to the dinosaur tea and it was such a fun experience! The reservation was really easy to make. The staff were very friendly and kind.

I am really looking forward to coming again. I have been to tea before, but I so appreciate that snapdragon is casual, accommodating of food preferences/restrictions, and inclusive. Highly recommend!! read more

I loveeeee this place it's soooo cute. If you're a tea fanatic like me, then you're going to love this place. She has so many options an different ways to make her tea, and she even does (my favorite), tea lattes! Their selection of pastries are also super delish. My friend and i ordered some scones and both had great flavor and were perfectly moist. Not only that but if you have any questions the owner will definitely give u some great suggestions and she really knows her tea stuff. You can tell she's really passionate. I also really like that it's close to campus. probably gonna be my new tea spot. im tired of grabbing tea from coffee shops, really happy someone opened something just for tea. read more

This is a sweet breath of fresh air down by UNM. I went their with a group of friends for breakfast and it was great! We just walked in and ordered and the owner brings everything out to you. I had the Chorizo and potato quiche, it was so cute and delish! I also scored a prickly pear scone...the frosting was beautiful and it was tasty! The tea they serve is from NM Tea Co., which is one of my favorite place to get teas. The atmosphere is so sweet and inviting and the owner serves everything on real tea cups, saucers and plates!! This os such a lovely touch in our 'to go' food container world. It is a place to go get a sweet treat, a savory bite for breakfast, a great cup of tea and a nice respite from the busyness of life. This is definitely a business you should check out! read more

Where is the option for 10 stars? Even since going vegan 3 months ago I have been missing confections of any kind, but snap dragon tea has been my saving grace. I am a huge fan of anything cinnamon, and their cinnamon knots are worth a try. When I can I buy a half dozen for the week and they typically are gone within a couple of days. read more
