    I booked a birthday party here for my friend and we had an amazing experience. Vegan friendly food, beautiful teas from around the world, bright and cheerful atmosphere and friendly staff. We all tried a different tea so we could taste each others' and I really appreciated the vegan options with my dairy allergy. The free parking lot is a huge bonus, as was the pristine restroom!

    Mini toasts

    I'm happy I found this place on Yelp. What attracted me the most is that their menu offers vegan selections. I called and made a reservation a week in advance. I found parking in the back. I saw a sign to ask for a parking slip since parking is limited. I just placed the slip inside my car. We all got the individual tea pot option and everything was delicious. I wanted more toasts! Looking around, it was a full house but we were the only table doing tea time. Seems to me it's a local spot. It's a good option when you want to catch up with a friend. It's also affordable for a tea time. Staffs are friendly and we had a great time. Our phones have no connection inside the tea house though. I asked for the guest WiFi password and it worked. I would love to stop by again in the near future!

    Mini Toasts: Hummus, Muhumarra, Cucumber Herbed Cream Cheese

    Afternoon Tea at Callisto Tea House was such a treat! I'm vegan, so my friend and I wanted to find an afternoon tea spot that had vegan food to enjoy. Callisto Tea House is definitely the spot to go! My friend and I each ordered the Individual Pot of Tea (16oz) and Food for One since we wanted herbal caffeine free tea. I got the Peach Elixir Tea (cold brew version since it was 94°). All three mini toasts were absolutely delicious. I wouldn't call the cream cheese cream cheese, but a super fresh herbed cashew spread. The zataar on the hummus toast was a perfect flavor boost! I got the Lemon Ginger scone and my friend got the Blueberry scone so we could share! There was one vegan and one non vegan sweet treat option, so I got the Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcake (vegan) and my friend got the Ube Blondie (not vegan). I took the cupcake to go but my friend absolutely loved the Ube Blondie. If it had been vegan, I 100% would've had that too. I tried the cupcake this morning and it was super yummy! Light moist chocolate cake and peanut buttery frosting. 100% would go back. The husband helped us at the beginning and the wife checked us out at the end. How cool! The wife explained that there are so many vegan options because they have vegan friends, and her husband is vegetarian. Parking lot available right next door! They give you a parking pass to put on your dashboard.

    I booked a reservation to celebrate my friend's birthday the week before and they were able to accommodate us with no problem. They have parking in the back but it was full on a Saturday morning. No worries though, there's plenty of street parking. We all chose the afternoon tea and the food was very delicious! The lemon scone was freshly baked, mini toasts were flavorful, and the ube blonde was decadent. I liked the tea I ordered too, but sadly they don't have refills. The price was great at $30, considering other tea places charge more, and with less tasty food. We had a great time and would come again!

    Mini Toasts, all but the avocado toast.

    Callisto Tea House was absolutely a lovely shop and experience! I went with a friend and the owner (i assume) was so lovely and told us about all the teas and gave her own recommendations of which we tried 2! They also kindly cut the toasts in half for us because we wanted to try each of the flavors (there were two of us). The tea was absolutely lovely, I ended up buying a bag of the sundrop (yuja) tea to take home, and i loved the information they had on local events and history like Drag Kings! I felt very welcome and at peace in the shop and the atmosphere was clean but not cold. I will absolutely be back! :-)

    We had reservations mid-day. When we arrived, it was empty, but all tables were full when we left. Servers were very nice and the tea selection is very descriptive. We opted for the Gongfu set and while it is expensive, it was very fun. The food was also yummy.

    Visited with a friend on a rainy Saturday and we had a lovely time. We arrived right as it opened at 10am and it was empty but got busier later in the morning. There were many different loose leaf teas to choose from and the serving tea pot had enough for three tea cups full for around $7 which I thought was a good value. There were also a few different scones and pastries to choose from. Overall I enjoyed how this tea room felt more modern than other places in the area, but still had the classic tea cups. Fun alternative to your average coffee shop for a meet up with a friend!

    Assorted preserved fruits, sesame bite and toasted seaweed, part of Treat Yourself option.

    A high tea experience with a twist! $69 Gong Fu Tea for Two includes a lesson in making your own Gong Fu tea. Delicious vegan toasts and highly recommend the add-on " Treat Yourself " option. Ube Salted Caramel Blondie is a must-have. Suggest making a reservation as seating is limited.

    This tea house provides the perfect balance between English tea and Asian tea traditions. With serving tea and goodies like an English high tea, there were so many Asian flavors between the tea and treats. I opted for the peach elixir which was heavenly. I also really loved the miso hummus toast. All together, this afternoon was nothing short of scrumptious.

    Wow we saw really good reviews and decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint! We ordered the afternoon tea service with gong fu tea, which was absolutely lovely! The spreads on the toasts are very unique (savory) and tasted really fresh! We got the hummus, red peppers, and the one with the cucumber - every single of them was delicious! We also had two cupcakes of choice and scones that come with cream and jam. We chose diamond cutter as our gong fu tea of choice. If you are serious about tea and are ready to take it to the next level from tea bags, give gong fu tea a try! They also have small board games to borrow while you sip on some high quality tea! Service was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend to book an appointment (they also take walk-ins). There is parking at the back!

    Great place to hang out or get some quiet me time. This is a tea house with pastries, afternoon tea set and mini toasts. Aesthetic interior and minimal design. Not bare but allow the mind to get creative. Large selection of tea from darjeeling black tea, puerh, jasmine, oolong, fruit/ herbal tea sourced from japan, india etc. Cold brew also available. We tried all four flavors of minitoasts. All taste very good. We ordered three sets to share. Each set comes with two mini toasts. As for tea, my favorite is silver spring which is a white tea from india. Light with a hint of floral scent. My second favorite is peach Elixir which is caffeine free. It is rooibos tea and lovely peachy aroma. Excellent service. Private lot Parking in the back.

    Journaling, and enjoyed a chocolate chip cookie with my earl grey

    Absolutely perfect tea shop. The tea was phenomenal, the inside is sooo clean and inviting, Employees are so lovely, well decorated and aesthetic, 10/10 experience. Will be coming back again

    I came to Callisto in late June ( 27th, 2024). My best friend and I enjoyed the afternoon tea service. Everything was so tasty! We both had the Muhammara mini toast and the Tea Time Mini toast. My friend also had the avocado mini toast, and I had the black sesame mini toast. So many flavors and they were all amazing. The lemon ginger scones were so flavorful and the chocolate peanut butter cupcakes were light and fluffy, and the peanut butter frosting was so thick and awesome! The owner of Callisto was also our server. She is a lovely, sweet soul, with a welcoming spirit. All of the food is made in house, except a few of the items in the pastry case. A calm, peaceful environment. I highly recommend and I hope I get to go back again, soon!

While I was there, I got to listen to an author present her book and answer questions, which added such a unique and memorable touch to the visit. The store was busy, and you could really feel how much people enjoyed being there. The layout is well organized, making it easy to find books by genre. Upstairs, there's a spacious children's section, which is great for families. I also loved the section featuring Orson Welles books and posters. It was a really cool and unexpected addition. Overall, Vroman's is more than just a bookstore as it's an experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!
