    Watermelon mint herbal iced tea $4
    Johanna B.

    There are many coffee bars/cafes that cater to all things coffee while including very few tea beverage items. With Tea Bar, it's the opposite. This is a tea salon offering cold brew and hot brew teas but you will still find some coffee beverages on the menu. The assortment is wide and tea lovers will be pleased upon discovering this little gem. Located on the corner of Driggs Avenue, Tea Bar is a quaint and adorable establishment that pulled me right in. There were many tables to choose from and since it was a lovely summer-like day, the windows were exposed. There was no table service so all ordering must be done at the counter. Also at the counter were selected baked goods such as muffins and scones. There was an entire cold brew menu conveniently categorized according to black, green or herbal. All selections were already prepared in huge pitchers and sitting on the counter. Mango and apricot looked very inviting. I couldn't make up my mind since so many looked good-- but the watermelon mint hit my eye and the barista didn't hesitate to offer a sample. Unsweetened, it was refreshing and minty--more mint than watermelon as far as dominant flavor. I chose a large at $4.00 and took a seat at one of the tables. There's available Wi-Fi and the atmosphere exuded such a calmness, almost Zen-like. There was one unisex bathroom and I can imagine the weekends being extremely busy. Very clean establishment. I really enjoyed my quick pit stop here and will definitely keep it in mind when in the area.

    The ambiance is lovely, owner very friendly, drinks dialed, prices fair for the quality, and is run by a Brooklyn native. Try for yourself.

    Sorry, but this place was kind of boring for tea, especially for Chinese tea. Chinese tea drinking is supposed to be very different from a western style of tea drinking. You don't want to oversteep your expensive tea. Instead, you steep the tea for about one minute and you pour out every drop in another porcelain pitcher vessel (nothing too big). Essentially, with Chinese tea, you pour the tea into tiny 30 ml tea cups so it cools down fast and allows you to constantly drink. This place just makes me steep my tea in a large tea pot that I just have to drink as I go, making my brew of tea too strong. Usually I wouldn't complain but I've been a patron of a rather authentic tea room in Berkeley and that shop also provides me free refills for water and free wi-fi so my standards are now rather high. The waitresses or cashiers weren't impolite or anything. If anything, their service was just lacklustre. It wasn't particularly helpful or engaging, but it wasn't horrible either. In any case, I won't be returning since I've had better tea and service from other tea rooms.

    This was my first time visiting. I came by today after an apartment viewing. I really like the name - it's what drew me in. Overall, good experience. The cashier was very helpful & welcoming. I had the Cocomint Green tea and it was SO GOOD! I'll be back for more - do they sell loose leaf tea? If so, I want more of that one for my home brew. It says it's moderate in caffeine but I think it's more on high list, with low caffeine in that range. lol. I was buzzing around once it kicked in! ^_^ :) Anyway, give it a try when you visit. Next time I'll have my tea to stay & enjoy the cute setup I've seen in the pics. Thanks for a great visit! Ciao!

    Stopped by this tea place in Brooklyn because we were exhausted from walking around. Inside is a very cozy vibe. Not too many tables but it was quiet. The tea was really good, I would honestly say best tea I have had. Very fresh.

    Really cute place with plenty of seating!

    I've been here several times, as my boyfriend lived in the area a couple years back. Now, we're both back in the area and came back to Tea Bar. It's just as cute, trendy, and high quality as it was 2 years ago. They have several iced teas brewed, if you want a hot tea, they'll give you your own pot and you can sit and sip as long as you please. I don't know why everyone's trashing the service - I've never had an unpleasant experience. I'm always greeted when I walk in, they're willing to help you find a tea you'd like, and they're perfectly friendly and hospitable. Maybe these other reviewers are just coming in with a bad attitude and need to have the figurative stick removed from their booty.

    Precision steeping !

    That little colored timer thing is the coolest little adornment I've ever seen. Walking in it's the first thing you notice. After ordering a large pot of jasmine green tea, the gentleman explained that we should steep for 2-3 minutes & there are timers on the tables. Oh! That's what those are for. So sitting down with my friend to help her with taxes, I let the tea steep. I went with a slightly longer time as I like a darker stronger flavor. Yeah and more caffeine too. As if it's not de rigueur at this point, they also have wifi available. Perfect!

    I stopped here for the first time to do a bit of work on my laptop. I wanted to find a cute cafe with something good to drink and good wifi, and I believe I've found one of those places. It's a quaint cafe with seating for about 12 at a high-top table and maybe 5 or so 2-seater tables. Grabbing a table (especially by the window) seems like it takes a mix of luck and good timing, but there were plenty of open seats at the high-top for me and a friend. The music is current, just loud enough to create the right cafe-volume but not loud enough that I couldn't talk to my friend or hear myself think. The baristas were pleasant and helped my friend figure out what to order; I went for an iced matcha (not called green tea here, something I assume indicated it would taste more authentic) latte, carrying over my usual Starbucks order, except I passed on the sweetener this time so I could actually taste the tea. Milk options included whole, skim, half and half, soy, and almond milk, and I went for half and half since I skipped on the sugar. I must say, I really did like the drink - though I do wish I'd gotten sugar (what can I say, I like sweets), the tea taste was perfect, and I felt like I was drinking what matcha lattes should taste like. Will definitely be back for my tea fix.

    Its a laid back coffee shop and sleepy staff. My friend and I went to the cafe in the last hour of closing. She had chocolate drink and i had cappuccino. Seats are clean and i can choose to sit anywhere. I think during the day is a nice idea to bring lab top and have a work done in this cafe.

    Stopped in just because I was curious and so glad I did! Theres a wide range of choices for any type of tea or coffee you might enjoy. The different teas (all I tried) taste very fresh. The baked goods seem very yummy. Love the decor and decent prices. The staff seems very easy to talk to and even enjoy an actual conversation, they're extremely helpful with making a choice on what to pick!!

The guy working the counter has a lot of energy and clearly loves being there. The PB banana smoothie was yummy, very thick so could use a spoon.

Insane. The fries were the highlight of my meal and that's really saying a lot. $6.50 for one of the smallest iced coffees I've ever received... I think you're staying open on highway robbery alone. Or that the gentrifiers just don't give a damn. Honestly, I could've gotten something better at the Bodega for less than $35 after the Uber fees. I feel bad leaving this honestly, but... how you go from such a wonderfully established place to some dreadful experience is just sad. Do better, become yourself again, because unfortunately I won't be ordering anymore.

And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her.
