Zen's Tea House

This cute and cozy tea house has a HUGE array and must have more than 100 teas (botanical, black, green, oolong, milk blends, medicinal, organic, iced) and offers tea flights! It also has a delectable selection of Homeboy Bakeries pastries. We got two flights, a peach cobbler danish, chocolate croissant, and turkey and cheese croissant and everything was SO good. Service was very warm and helpful, tea was served at the perfect temperature, pasties warmed to a savory sizzle. Ambience calm and clean with soothing music and an option for table seating or sofas. Parking was easy. It's very tucked away in a small strip mall and I must have drove past it dozens of times. Now that I know, I'll definitely be back. Two suggestions for the owner, bathroom decor should be considered and maybe a small topiary outside.

Really enjoy Zens quality of teas and the various teas that aid ailments. Friend swears by gout be free tea! Relaxing environment and staff always willing yo help with tea selection. Drawback... parking at times could be limiting but worth the trip.

With a wide variety of teas, Im a big fan of trying as many as I can so the flight appealed to me. ~$15 for any 4 teas including milk teas and even matchas, I ordered golden chai, peach oolong matcha, assam lavender and strawberry mint (green tea). And they only have alternative milks !!! Such a lactose-intolerant friendly place. In the order that I enjoyed the most: strawberry mint, golden chai, assam lavender, peach matcha. Maybe the chai and matcha would've been better had it been colder. I asked for iced but maybe the ice melted because the temp was little cooler than lukewarm.I've known about Homeboy industries before and was so cool to see that they sell their pastries! For those who don't know, they train/hire individuals who were incarcerated and teach them job skillsI docked a star because it just took too long. A pretty steady flow of people for the hr I was here but my order took over 30min. Thankfully I had work to do and lingered around but if I was in a rush, I wouldn't be a very happy customer.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this tea house!! It's such a charming and welcoming establishment. I was immediately drawn in by the music that was playing. Can't ever go wrong with early 2000's rnb. Now, back to the tea: There were so many options to choose from and I wasn't sure what to get. The owner made some amazing recommendations so I went with an iced green tea mixture of some herbal teas he put together. I also purchased a hot tea for a friend who was a little under the weather. I love that the wall has a list of premade tea options and what they're good for. It wasn't very busy so while he made my teas we had a chance to make small talk and chat about kids, life and travel. It honestly felt like I was hanging out with a family member. I definitely appreciate the hospitality and great service. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone who loves tea! I plan on returning soon to try the matcha .

This place feels like a cute hidden gem in Norwalk. The first time I ordered through yelp and by the time I arrived it was ready. The second time I went in person to order and saw that they brewed everything on the spot. They have a variety of selections to order from as well as loose leaf options to purchase. Make sure to sign up for their rewards program. Both times I've ordered the Jasmine Dragon and it was delicious, the tea flavor was amazing and the added matcha just completed the drink.

Zen's Teahouse in Norwalk offers a serene escape with spacious seating and a friendly atmosphere. The staff is incredibly accommodating, helping patrons navigate the extensive tea menu and recommending the perfect drink for their tastes. The addition of games makes it a great spot for both friends and family to gather and unwind. The tea selection is impressive, catering to all types of tea enthusiasts, and the option for free flights encourages exploration. While my Matcha peach oolong lacked a strong peach flavor, the chocolate croissant was a delightful treat. I look forward to trying a different tea next time, but the peaceful ambiance and wide array of pastries make Zen's Teahouse a perfect retreat for reading, chatting, or simply enjoying a moment of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Very cute place and their teas are amazing. I much prefer this place over Starbucks. Every time I stop by, it is always so quiet and peaceful. I come here to relax and always look forward for that little break in my busy day.
