Tea Rooms & Tea Shops (4)
Tea houses, afternoon-tea rooms, matcha bars and loose-leaf shops that brew tea from other makers. Each card says what the place is known for and its price range.
Tea Cozy opened in 1998 in a former freight elevator and has since moved to a bigger space inside ARTHOUSE on the R Street Corridor. It carries more than 150 loose-leaf teas across white, green, oolong, black, pu-erh and herbal, plus teapots and brewing gear, and pours hot tea to go. Founders Mike and Nami Thompson handed the shop to longtime employee Linda Walker in 2025.
Classy Hippie Tea Co. is a tea store and cafe on Broadway that sells its own single-origin teas, herbal infusions and blends. Its high tea runs Thursday through Saturday in two 90-minute seatings, with menus planned by tea sommelier Leo Hickman alongside local chefs and built around tea pairings. Reservations are required, and the cafe also serves food and drinks during regular hours.
Nameless Tea & Coffee is a small matcha bar that whisks each matcha by hand when it is ordered. Matcha leads the menu, with hojicha drinks, coffee and a short list of milk teas behind it. Seating is limited, so plan to take most drinks to go.
TBar is a small Northern California chain that started in Chico in 2004 and builds its menu around tea drinks: frozen tea lattes, sparkling tea, iced tea, chai and matcha lattes. The Midtown cafe also keeps more than 40 organic whole-leaf teas (black, green, oolong, white, rooibos and herbal) that you can ask for by name. Rice bowls and wraps make it a lunch or dinner stop.

Sacramento Tea Tips
Reserve high tea well ahead
Classy Hippie Tea Co. requires advance registration for high tea. Seatings run Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm, 90 minutes each, per its site.
Go to Tea Cozy on Second Saturday
Tea Cozy stays open into the evening on the second Saturday of each month for the Second Saturday art walk and runs ticketed tastings, such as oolong tastings and chocolate pairings, on its events calendar.
Check Tea Cozy's hours before driving
Tea Cozy is closed Mondays and keeps short Sunday hours, so call or check the site before a special trip.
Order matcha unsweetened first
Nameless Tea & Coffee whisks each matcha to order and lets you set the sugar level; try it at a low sweetness before adding flavors.
Plan a Downtown-to-Midtown loop
Tea Cozy on the R Street Corridor and Nameless Tea & Coffee on 16th Street are both Downtown. TBar on Capitol Avenue in Midtown serves rice bowls and wraps with its tea drinks, so it works as the lunch stop between the two.
