Drinking a cup of tea alone at home while watching a series is cool, but socializing and immersing oneself in different cultures and worlds is even better. Inspired by Chinese, Japanese, or vegan culture, here is a guide to our favorite tea rooms in Paris.

The Best Tea Salons in Paris

When you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, there's nothing better than our cozy tea salons. Not only do we comfort ourselves with deliciously fragrant hot drinks, but we also enjoy the calmness that emanates from these wonderfully cozy places. Whether you're looking for something exotic or traditional, we'll take you on a tour of our favorite spots to enjoy a good cup of tea in Paris. And don't be late, because tea time waits for no one!


The Grand Mosque of Paris

Considered by many as the best in the capital, the tea salon at the Grand Mosque of Paris welcomes visitors with, of course, a delicious mint tea accompanied by oriental pastries: gazelle horns, baklava, or rose-flavored Turkish delights, each costing 2 euros. If you catch a whiff of apple, it's probably the aroma of the hookahs smoked by some in the patio. It's a complete change of scenery.

Angelina

Two annual pastry collections are to be discovered in this tea room, decorated in the Belle Époque style. The must-haves? The African hot chocolate, made from three African cocoa origins: Niger, Ghana, and Ivory Coast. As a snack, the Mont-Blanc, made of meringue, light whipped cream, and chestnut vermicelli.

Toraya

Named after one of the oldest pastry shops in Japan, the tea room opened in France in 1980. This tea room boutique offers a wide range of traditional Japanese pastries in harmony with the seasons, and cakes made with artisanal know-how. The minimalist, gentle and harmonious decoration completes the conquest of its audience.

The Shakespeare & Company tea salon, opened in 2015, welcomes locals and tourists with a good cup of artisanal coffee roasted by Lomi, in the 18th arrondissement, bagels, cookies, and scones prepared by the founder of Bob's Kitchen, Marc Grossman, and of course, gluten-free options, tea, and freshly made juices.

The Institute of Islamic Cultures

Black and white checkered floor, colorful mosaic bar, waxed tablecloths, we step into the 70's style Barbès cultural center. And here we are, right away, in an adorable restaurant-tea room with sweet aromas of North African spices. Conceived by the artist and designer Sara Ouhaddou, La Table Ouverte welcomes anyone who wants a tajine, an afternoon tea or simply a leisurely reading break in the sunny courtyard. Hungry appetites will turn to a cuisine that blends French tradition with Mediterranean influences: grilled dishes, couscous, Bissap juice, oriental pastries... for a menu &a.grave; 10€.

You have to descend small stairs to access the best-kept secret of the house. At Ogata, the...Time slows down and the stress of city life gives way to a true moment of sharing and contemplation. Guided by candlelight, we enter a dimly lit living room entirely imagined by Mr. Ogata. The tea master seats us at the counter and begins a ballet of delicate and beautifully choreographed movements. We delight in a selection of rare and seasonal teas, one of which is roasted before our amazed eyes, along with delicious homemade pastries.
