I don't leave five star reviews often, but they deserve it. My coworker brings us back drinks when we are working at our downtown office and they are so good. I finally had the chance to walk over and grab a drink myself. The staff is amazing and my iced pistachio latte was perfect. Im a Seattle girl who grew up with Starbucks, but always preferring small coffee/tea shops and this is the place to be downtown. It's only a block up from Spot and Starbucks. Stop in! read more

Drinks were good, when asked about recommendations I was met with less than helpful response from the lady working. The service otherwise was quick. They have a very comfortable area to sit and enjoy your drinks which makes the space very relaxing. read more

The Original Tea House - Right here. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This is my favorite boba place in the city of buffalo and I come here pretty much every week/every other week. First off, the staff are very friendly. They remember my name, my order, and the fact that I order double boba with everything. The tea is really fresh, and they have a variety of flavors that you can add. This is a cute little spot that is perfect for studying or just hanging out in general. Parking is a little tricky and limited because of street parking, but it's really worth the walk :) read more

The Original Tea House - passionfruit green tea, with double boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I've been to this coffee shop a few times and love it. They have a nice menu with lots of chai options = my favorite!! Also, they have a nice selection of desserts; I especially love their little pop tarts. They are like heaven warmed up!! And the staff are always so friendly. The space is really big. With more time, I think they can add more seating options like high top workspaces, besides the couches and low tops. The space is nicely decorated with Arabic art, scentscaped with a really unique scent (I see you, boys!), and great WiFi. Now that the other nearby coffee shops are closing at 4pm, this is the only non commercial late night coffee shop left downtown. Thank goodness it's a good one! read more

Coming out of retirement of Yelp reviews for this one. It is about time we had a solid tea house in Buffalo. It takes some skill to get tea right. Temperature, time, flavor notes, and quality. I wish there was a flashing sign out front pointing to the door because people need to know this place exists. They source some of their baked items locally from woman owned businesses and coupled with their excellent service, it's obvious they run a thoughtful business. I cannot stress enough the importance of supporting places like this that make a difference in the well being of others but also provide an exceptional product and experience. Get here and do it often. Your visit is helping people from the beginning of the chain to the end. read more

The inside of the tea house is very large and has plenty of places to sit and relax while eating/drinking. They have a large variety of choices of drinks from hot or cold. My favorite is the Kashmirie chai tea which is a beautiful pink color. They have a couple small dessert options for sale. The service is fast and all the drinks are carefully made to order. read more

Out and about and needed a quick warm up, this spot came up in the search and it was perfect! There's a nice variety of drinks and desserts to choose from so obviously I'm gonna have to go back and try some of the teas and other lattes lol. Oh! not only that but they have games and little lounge areas as well. This is just what downtown needs and I'm glad we stumbled upon it! read more

Enjoyed a cup of tea with friends here. Unique selection of teas. There was an art show going on the day I was there so it was quite busy. There were areas with tables and chairs, couches and lots of space. Service was good. They had homemade Pop-Tarts and other amazing desserts. There was one that we tried with honey all over it and it was delicious! Free parking is a little difficult as is right in the Chippewa district. read more

The vibes be vibing in this cafe. Really cozy atmosphere and spacious place with quite a few seating options around the entire cafe including the bar style seating, and giant bean bags. Also a large selection of board & card games. Music volume not too loud. Reasonable prices with good menu options. Haven't tried their other drinks & pastries yet, but the iced strawberry matcha that me and my partner ordered.. IT WAS AMAZING!!! The guy in the counter is friendly and accommodating, treated us like regulars. Delighted we stopped by and ended up staying longer playing cards. We can't wait go back. Great place for unwinding, studying or catching up with friends. If you're reading this, check this place out. read more

Quiet cafe great for solo studying. They have great chai at affordable prices. No parking lot, but plenty of spots nearby.

My daughter wanted Boba and we were in the downtown area already so I told her to find a Boba spot close by and The OTH populated. Well, long story short, it was worth it. That spot is a place to decompress and get away from whatever and whoever! The ambience was indescribable! You have to see for yourself! Have a cup of REAL coffee and this dessert that decadent cannot describe! Try the caramel Tres-leChe! Keep it up OTH, you will go places!!!! read more

Walked in on a Thursday afternoon, and was greeted right away. The cafe seemed to be occupied with locals, who were just indulging in conversation, and games accompanied by laughter. Very relaxed vibes in this cafe, nothing fussy. I enjoyed a strawberry matcha latte for $6 + change. They had these homemade looking poptarts available for purchase as well, I'd like to try them next time. With that said, yes I'll be back! read more

Amazing legit masala chai! The best I've had in the States. I also got the Dubai chocolate cake which was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try a different chai. read more

This place is awesome. Its open early unlike many cafes in the area which is so needed. They make delicious tea and their cooked chai is out of this world. Best of all is the owner. He is so friendly and so obviously passionate about his business. The best chai I have ever had. Cannot say enough good things! read more
