Uptown Tea Shop

My daughter introduced me to the Uptown Tea Shop in Waxhaw a couple of months ago by buying some loose leaf tea for me. It wasn't until yesterday that I went to the shop with her to see for myself. From the outside, you see a house and there are three shops inside. The Uptown Tea Shop is in a medium size bedroom which has been converted to a little store. Here against the walls are nearly every flavor and types of loose leaf teas you can imagine. I typically like herbal teas and caffeine free teas and finding something new was fairly easy. There are also tea accessories such as canisters to keep your teas fresh. The prices I found to be inline with the quality of the teas. The customer service associate was polite, helpful and welcoming; needless to say I will be supporting this small business in the future.

My daughter and I went to High Tea at Uptown Tea in Waxhaw this past weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The people, the food, the service, the atmosphere were all impeccable! Dani the owner and Kristen (I believe), the chef came in to check on us periodically. The chef described her delicious creations to us from the homemade chicken salad in pastry to the homemade granola on top of Greek yogurt with baked apples we enjoyed every bite! We pushed ourselves to eat the cheesecake bites at the end! I highly recommend this place, we will be back! Thank you to Dani and the chef for a relaxing mother/daughter experience!

We enjoyed a beautiful high tea for my friend's birthday. The staff was friendly and informative. I had the berrylicious green tea with too many sweets to count. This was a nice drive away from Charlotte.

Uptown Tea Shop is tiny but provides a sizeable variety of loose leaf tea to choose from. Black tea. Green tea. Herbals and blends. Even some decaf teas. Not to mention all the stuff they sell to help you drink your tea. Stuff like tea bags, tea pots, spoons and more. Just head inside and start browsing. Don't be affraid to open the jars and breath in the oft sweet aroma of the unique flavors. Chocolate covered strawberry, for example, is a particularly sweet smelling blend. I was very tempted to buy a small amount of that. To a lesser extent, I was tempted to by the jasmine green tea pearls which had such a potent fresh smell to them. What I eventually decided upon is a white tea and green tea blend with pomegranite. I have not tried it yet but I imagine it will be quite refreshing. I look forward to my first cup.Don't be afraid to talk to the lady working the shop. Top notch customer service. Friendly conversation. Tea knowledge. All in all, a most enjoyable experience shopping for tea.

I took my mom here for a Mother's Day tea. It was a wonderful time, and the food was delicious! Very casual, but very elegant as well.

If you want to have an indulgent experience then book your table for high tea. The food was delicious and you can really tell the Chef cares about her dishes and her customers. They will do their utmost to accomodate dietary restrictions so that everyone can enjoy this special treat. The selection of teas is extensive. A lovely afternoon was had by all..Thank you!

What a special time we had today at Uptown Tea in Waxhaw,NC. Delicious teas and wide selections with delicious scones, sandwiches and desserts. Just a lovely time and a great way to spend an afternoon with your friends. Next week is fused glass along with tea and few treats. Dani and Kristen are so talented and so warm and welcoming. I know we will go again soon.

Our first time here, we were excited to check out the tea and see what the business was all about. However, the lady that helped us in the tea booth was extremely rude and unwelcoming which tainted our first visit here. Her persona was as if she wanted us out of there as quickly as possible. Everyone else we met there was friendly.

I had the exquisite experience of high tea at the Uptown Tea Shop!!! The venue is unique in that's it's an older house and they have art classes in a variety of mediums and the art that decorates the rooms adds to the charm and beauty. The caterer, Kristen, of Bougie, was so personable and her preparations were sublime and the elegant embodiment of what you imagine high tea to be! I will definitely do this again and recommend it for Mother daughter outing. Bridal shower! I would prefer something like this to a bachelorette party! Just beautiful, elegant and well done!!!

Uptown Tea Shop always has the best variety of teas, and if you aren't sure what to get, Dani always has a great suggestion. There are a bunch of different types, varieties and flavors. The staff is also big on education for all the teas and the correct way to prepare them for your best enjoyment! My other favorite thing is she keeps teas in stock all year round, so if your favorite happens to be a autumn variety or a Christmas tea, it's still there for you to get in March! I've been a long time customer, and happen to live in Michigan. Uptown Tea is always prompt and accurate in their shipping. They are my #1 tea shop (and I'm somewhat of a tea snob) despite the miles. Someday I want to visit the store, and hopefully get there for one of their yummy and festive tea parties.
