Love The Modern Tea Room. The vegan food is delicious. I have loved everything we have ordered. They also have a "not so vegan" menu, which makes the place perfect to take any group. Everyone we bring her loves it. The place is small and always packed, but it moves pretty quickly. I love their long list of tea selections. I have tried a few, but my absolute favorite is the Icy Thai Chai. I get it with oat milk because I don't drink dairy and it is the bomb.com. I even get a second one to go after we are done eating. My favorite food to order is the jackfruit street tacos. They are small so we usually get something else and share both things with my boyfriend. Love the local artist art gallery as well. This is the place! read more

Came here on a Sunday for breakfast. We arrived around 9:50 AM and were seated within about 5 minutes, which was great. Unfortunately, the service after that was very disappointing. It took about 30 minutes for someone to take our order, and our food didn't arrive until 11:20 AM. What made it more frustrating was that a group of six who were seated at the same time as us received their food much earlier and were already finished eating before we even got ours. During the wait, I also ordered a coffee that never came -- it seemed like it was simply forgotten. I understand Sundays can be busy, but the long wait and lack of attention really took away from the experience. Hoping this was just an off day. read more

Food was tasty so much flavor and the drinks were delicious. Service was not the greatest we have tried to go eat her 3 times and it was always 30+ min wait and no acknowledgement. Today was a little similar but they had a big party and we sat in the restaurant next to the modern tea room. The music was up beat. They didn't really attend to us I'm figuring it's cause we were out of sight. However, when they did attend to us they were super sweet and kind. I want to suggest this place but only if you have time to kill and definitely if you like light meal and different flavors. read more

I love their teas! The Tropical Twister and the Lancaster Mango are the best. I love that they are always more than happy to adjust the sugar to make it less sweet for me :) The employees are always super sweet! I want to come in and try their food and sweet treats sometime soon. read more

What a nice tea shop! You can buy loose leaf tea or drinks and I got both! There's plenty of seating inside and they have a lot of cute local art on the walls which I loved. The staff were super welcoming and helped me decide what to order. I got midnight loose leaf tea and green mango tango loose leaf tea and for a drink I got the white champagne raspberry which was very refreshing! I loved everything I got and can't wait to be back. read more

The Jackfruit Burrito at Modern Tearoom intrigued me since eating Coco Jack at Spoon & Pork which is Jackfruit braised in coconut milk. So I even called ahead and talked Annabelle into reserving me a Jackfruit Burrito because it would be disappointing to drive from L.A. all the way to Lancaster to find it was sold out. The clean, contemporary interior is functional bordering on shabby chic. The space is casual, relaxing, quiet enough for a convivial conversation. The staff is pleasant and unobtrusively friendly. 1) The Jackfruit Burrito is huge. Each half can feed 1 person for lunch. Well constructed, tightly & precisely wrapped to the point the wheat based wrap is as taut as a Marine's bunk bed cover. The filling has Jackfruit that has a meaty, fibrous, pot roast like texture. Brown rice, frijoles negros/black beans, red bell pepper, Pico de Gallo of tomato, cilantro, green chiles, onion dressed with cilantro vegan ranch dressing. Side of Sonia's avocado salsa. It is very strong and complexly seasoned with what may be cumin, coriander, oregano, thyme. It has a Za'atar spice mix feel that has a dried, earthy, green herbal flavour and has a long finish in the mouth as well as burping up some of those flavours later. Totally vegan in concept. 2) Sencha, a Japanese green tea on ice was refreshing, astringent, thirst quenching and was a good foil to the heavy, strong spiced Burrito. I'm impressed that Modern Tearoom has a great number of teas and infusions. I like the airy, light atmosphere. It's a place to find alternate food and drink realities that stray away from just standard American fare. 4 stars PS MOAH is right across the street so it's convenient for a pre or post museum nosh. read more

I came to the modern tea room a day before Valentine's Day, which is my anniversary and my wife's suggested this restaurant cause I really like breakfast and she likes breakfast too. We got their right when they opened or almost when they open. It was not busy and it's on the boulevard in Lancaster. It's a nice looking restaurant café. The server was very nice. It was a really nice atmosphere. We looked at the menu and they had cinnamon roll or cinnamon flavored pancake or something like that and I love pancakes and my wife got an oatmeal and I got an orange juice which I did not get to finish because it tasted funny. It might've been my toothpaste, but I doubt it. It was a really nice meal. I would have to say I would need to explore more of their menu but so far breakfast was an eight out of 10 and I'm excited about coming back to try the rest vegetarian and vegan and meat dishes. read more

VEGAN OPTIONS!!!!!!! Hey Y'all I'm back. And I bought friends to celebrate a birthday. It was busy today. Soft music not loud. You could hear your conversation. There was a different menu today. I realize that we went on Sunday and had the brunch menu. I was expecting to get my vegan French toast. So I had to choose something else. I got nachos and tofu lettuce wraps. I did not care for the lettuce wraps. The tofu was cold. Our waitress took it off the check. My sister girls loved everything that they got. We each ordered two items. I am the only vegan. The seating sometimes is slow but be patient it is worth the wait. Everyone is so nice and sweet. read more

The food was good. I ordered an Egg Salad Sandwich on white bread. Orange marmalade was also added to the sandwich. I didn't care for the bread being toasted. The service was Amazing and the young ladies were very attentive. The place was clean and tidy. I was expecting a real tea room, but it was just an average coffee shop vibe. That's probably why it's called the Modern Tea Room. They had so many teas to choose from! I ended up enjoying matcha green tea it was Delicious! I would go back for the service and the tea. The music playing was too loud. As I'm a 59 year old lady that's had her share of loud music lol read more

Only got drinks but they were very good. Got hot Moroccan mint tea and hot white rose tea. Mint was very flavorful but careful very hot! Rose tea had a good mix of floral flavors, wish it was a not more rosy but the other flowers came through more. I did want to order one of the bowls but food to go would have taken 30+ minutes so no go. Drinks took about 10 minutes to go. It was popular and had a good smell. You can see staff brewing drinks fresh! read more

The Modern Tea Room - White rose tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lancaster, California

The space is spare and utilitarian, clearly designed with function over flourish in mind. The menu leans heavily into tea--impressively so--though that abundance wasn't the motivation for the eight of us who came in for breakfast. Those who ordered traditional breakfast items reported pleasant flavors, but the portions skewed small, with presentations that felt more perfunctory than inspired. I ordered the avocado toast on multigrain, no cheese. What arrived was precisely that: a single, average slice of multigrain bread topped with avocado spread. At $10, it lacked both substance and imagination, making the price hard to justify. Service was courteous and efficient; the young man assisting us was kind and prompt. That said, there was a missed opportunity in acknowledging that some of us were first-time guests--an important detail in shaping a welcoming experience. Ultimately, it's a place that knows its audience, and that audience is clearly tea enthusiasts. For me, the atmosphere and offerings didn't resonate, and I wouldn't return. read more

The lox bagel was excellent. I substituted the cream cheese with cashew nut charm cheese, and it worked very well with the overall flavor profile The raspberry lemonade was well balanced. It was refreshing without being overly sweet or too tart The avocado, balsamic, tomato, and basil toast was light, fresh, and pleasantly tangy Overall, everything was thoughtfully prepared and genuinely delicious read more

The friendliest service I have had in quite some time. Incredible selection of teas, and a nice selection of sandwiches. Right in the heart of downtown. Prompt service. Would highly recommend. read more

4/27/25 (still a hit 6 years later !) First off the owner is absolutely wonderful all around she is just amazing - I don't know how she can have all those drink recipes in her brain and be making 8 drinks , supporting the staff , recalling customers usuals and preferences knowing when they order something they may not like etc doing all that and more - IMPRESSIVE!!!! The staff and vibe is so welcoming - always a pleasant experience because of that but the food and drinks next level!!! Truly the drinks here kick Starbucks ass and I would choose them over anything else if possible - for real if modern tea room were on every corner like Starbucks I would be heading to their corner EVERYTIME - the ingredients are better the variation amazing and I don't have to worry about them giving me dairy! The oat English hot i swear is a like a hug for your soul!!! I love English tea and am in no way a sweets person def savory, herby or spicy before anything and this is truly the perfect cup of tea ! It makes me feel like royalty and it truly just warms your entire insides and soothes the stress and pains of the day - I wish I could buy this in gallon form and have all day at home reading in my book nook --- heaven! The dirty thirty match also delightful - I will be getting both every single time i go no doubt about it ( dirty 30 with coconut milk) The Jack of all trades has been my fav since it came out but it has now been bumped because the tomato basil avocado toast it is so fresh and bursting with flavor , I freaking love basil and this is so darn good the addition of the balsamic glaze elevates it all 10000000 percent recommend and love supporting good people and places and this is one of the best 1/26/19 Omggggggggggggg the best anniversary breakfast ever !!! Of course I had to get the "oat English" because helllo yummy! Johnny tried the orange Hawaiian and omg super refreshing and delicious then from there we pretty much ordered the whole menu lol! The Oreo puff-pastry was to die for !!! The whip on top was like fluff from heaven! The thing that surprised me the most was the vegan lox bagel - the bagel was so soft and the flavors wow!!!! My favorite thing was the modern bowl!!! The chipotle sauce it is seriously it is my new all time favorite breakfast dish - honestly best thing I have ever had ! Everything else was delicious as always and agin the berry compute and the cinnamon butter here are the best you will ever have!!! LOVE this place - amazing fresh delicious food every single time ! read more

I decided to order online for convenience purposes. It was very easy to order from their website. Right as I parked, I got a notification that my order was ready. Here's what I ordered: -An iced Black Thai tea -An iced Coconut Chai Dream, with half & half, half sweet -Avocado Toast (for my friend) -Cubano sandwich with cucumber salad -Lemon Coconut Cake When I walked in to pick up my order, I noticed how busy they were. Everyone was enjoying their food, having conversations, and just brunching it up. Very nice vibe. The staff was truly working hard making sure to get orders out promptly. I went to the front and the young lady who was multitasking like crazy helped me. She had my drinks already ready and added my to go boxes in bags. What I appreciated the most was that she double checked the order to make sure I walked away with everything I ordered. My friend and I really enjoyed the food and the teas. She was starving so I think she detached her jaw and just took the avocado toast in with one bite. I can't completely confirm as it was there and gone pretty quickly. As for me, I LOVED the Cubano sandwich. The fact that it's done on Hawaiian bread was the whole reason I ordered it. I love when someone puts their own twist on a recipe. The ham was salty, the Swiss added cheesy goodness, the tea infused pickles and tea infused mayo was awesome! And the pickled jalapeños added another level that I did not know I needed. The Hawaiian bread is a great choice for this sandwich! The cucumber salad was crisp, herby and peppery. Very refreshing! The drinks were made perfectly! I liked that mine was creamy with a hint of coconut and sweetness. Not overpowering, just nicely balanced. The lemon coconut cake was a surprise! I loved that it was not overly sweet. I never realized how well lemon and coconut go together. My next visit, I will actually dine in. I really liked the energy inside. This is a fantastic place to go on a Sunday for brunch. The customer service was great and the food was made with love! Thank you, The Modern Tea Room, for feeding me and my best friend. We can't wait to visit again! read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Friendly but very leisurely service, with lots of vegan options. Our party of 5 lucked out on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, as it's a pretty small place, with not a ton of seating to accommodate its popularity. I wasn't too hungry, so only ordered a peachy creamy tea, but others had vegan jackfruit tacos, turkey sandwich, and a breakfast sandwich served with breakfast potatoes. Everyone loved their food, and my tea was good but very large. I asked for a to-go cup and it was full, so good-sized portions. I can see why it was popular, but everything took forever--they seemed understaffed. I'd move to go back if it's during an off time, if such a thing exists for this place! read more

It's just hard to say no to a vegan breakfast burrito packed with all the goods. I'm talking about eggs, potatoes, chorizo, peppers and gravy - all vegan, of course. So I say yes. Better yet, make that a hell yes! Modern Tea Room offers a great menu that features vegan and non-vegan food, with an emphasis on breakfast and healthy options. It's a casual vibe and not a big place, so I have only gotten take-out, usually after a morning hike where a craving for a big savory breakfast is my logical next step. I've also enjoyed the French Toast combo with the plant-based sausage and eggs, which was good. But that vegan breakfast burrito stays my top choice. read more

This is where I go when I need someone to look after me. I return for the jackfruit tacos and the Boost of Joy bowl. My family loves the jackfruit nachos, the tea-infused BLT, the Avo-Avo, and the drink specials on Thursdays. Service is cheerful and professional. The ambiance is upbeat quirk, and encouraging. The sound got to be a problem with new decor, but it is being addressed, installation by installation. We need this place in our lives. Check it out. read more

Someone said they keep coming back for the jackfruit tacos and I could not agree more. I've always wanted to try jackfruit in tacos and pulled pork etc. so I ordered them this time and I loved them! I also ordered the Modern Detox hot tea (so refreshing!) and the Masala Chai Tea iced in the Milk Tea version with light sweet and Half&Half (very good, a little milky but delicious nonetheless). My company got the Modern Chocolate Chai in Milk Tea form from last time with less sweet and also Half&Half (she loved it this time too) with an iced Huckleberry Tea and the Chicken Artichoke sandwich. The drinks and food here are always so amazing, not to mention the sweet and helpful staff and fun atmosphere. I love this place so much and would drive to Antelope Valley just to go here! read more

Went to The Modern Tea Room in Lancaster after my brother's baptism--it was his pick since all his CrossFit buddies are obsessed with it. I had a dirty chai (so good!) and a black bean and rice burrito with chipotle sauce--loved both. The cinnamon twist was a fun surprise, and I appreciated all the milk options.

Love this place. Gummy Bear tea is delicious. I miss the shaved turkey sandwich. Hoping they bring that back.

Modern Tea Room has a great selection of vegan and non-vegan options. I had the Ohh Avo Avo sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing. Super fresh, packed with flavor, and perfectly balanced. i'm not vegan, but I would order the sandwich every time I go. The atmosphere is cozy and creative, with a chill vibe that makes it great for lunch dates or solo tea breaks. Their tea selection is also top-notch--so many unique blends, and everything is brewed with care. read more
