Drinking tea alone at home while watching a show is nice, but socializing and immersing yourself in different cultures and worlds is even better. Inspired by Chinese, Japanese, or entirely dedicated to vegans, here’s a guide to our favorite tea salons in Paris.

The Best Tea Rooms in Paris

For a cozy escape from the hustle and bustle of the capital, nothing beats our warm tea rooms. Not only do you indulge in a fragrant hot drink, but you also enjoy the tranquility that radiates from these wonderfully cozy spots. Whether exotic or traditional, let us take you on a tour of our favorite places to savor a good tea in Paris. And don't be late, tea time won't wait!


Violetta & Alfredo

Combining tea and opera is possible, and it's happening at Violetta & Alfredo! In this tea room, Ivan Alvarez transports us straight into the second act of La Traviata. In a setting as delicate as it is floral, you can be tempted by a delicious cup of tea, accompanied by a scrumptious slice of homemade cake for a little extra sweetness.

Violetta & Alfredo
30, rue de Trévise — 9th
Every day, from 10 AM to 7 PM

The Great Mosque of Paris

Considered by many as the best in the capital, the tea room of the Paris mosque welcomes its visitors with, of course, delicious mint tea paired with oriental pastries: gazelle horns, baklava, and rose-flavored Turkish delight, each costing 2€. If you catch a whiff of apple scent, it’s probably from the hookahs being smoked by some in the patio. Total escape.

The Great Mosque of Paris

From Saturday to Thursday, from 9 AM to 6 PM

Angelina

Two annual collections of pastries await you in this tea room elegantly decorated in Belle Époque style. What shouldn't you miss? The African hot chocolate, made with three types of cocoa from African origins: Niger, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire. For a delicious snack, try the Mont-Blanc made of meringue, light whipped cream, and chestnut cream vermicelli. 

Angelina

Toraya

Named after one of the oldest pastry shops in Japan, this café opened its French doors in 1980. This tea house boutique offers a wide selection of traditional Japanese pastries that reflect the seasons and cakes made with artisanal skill. The minimalist decor, soft and harmonious, truly captures the hearts of its guests.

Shakespeare & Company 

What could be better than an Anglo-Saxon bookstore located on the Left Bank to find comfort in the Parisian myth ? The Shakespeare & Company tea room, opened in 2015, welcomes locals and curious visitors alike.with a good artisanal roasted coffee from Lomi in the 18th, bagels, cookies and other scones made by the founder of Bob's Kitchen, Marc Grossman, and of course, gluten-free options, tea, and freshly made juices. The quintessential English tea room!

The Institute of Islamic Cultures

Black and white checkerboard floor, colorful mosaic bar, glossy tablecloths, you step into the cultural center styled in the Barbès fashion of the '70s. And just like that, we find ourselves in a charming little restaurant-tea salon with sweet aromas of North African spices. Designed by the artist and designer Sara Ouhaddou, La Table Ouverte welcomes everyone for a tajine, an afternoon tea, or simply a cozy reading break in the sunny patio. Big appetites will be drawn to the cuisine that blends French tradition with Mediterranean influences: grilled dishes, couscous...us, hibiscus juice, Eastern pastries… for a menu at €10. 

The Open Table
19, rue Léon — 18th 
From Wednesday to Sunday, 9 AM to 6 PM

Ogata

You need to go down a few small stairs to access the the best-kept secret of the house. At Ogata, time slows down and the stress of city life gives way to a true moment of sharing and reflection. We are guided à la bougie in a softly lit lounge entirely imagined by Mr. Ogata, the master tea expert welcomes us at the counter and begins a ballet of delicate, beautifully choreographed movements. We delight in a selection of rare and seasonal teas, one of which is roasted right before our amazed eyes, along with delicious homemade pastries.

Ogata

Used Book Café

The Merci concept store houses a cozy little café. In a warm setting, nearly 10,000 used books line the walls, making this spot truly unique. You can settle into the comfy little armchairs and order a tea and some treats. I promise, in this cozy tearoom, you'll feel like time just stops!
