Super cute space with lots of fun decorations! Walked in and was greeted and sat super fast, we had the Wonderland Tea reserved and they had a great spread of teas as well as cocktail (if ordered for extra charge). The food was great especially for being gf/vegan and the desserts were all very good quality especially the scone/rock cake! Will definitely be back! read more

What a special local gem! Love supporting a woman owned business and adorable inside! Based on the Alice and Wonderland theme, we enjoyed a selection of hot teas, savory sandwiches, bites, and beautiful sweet desserts! Everything was gluten free and vegan! The service was excellent, lovely space, clean with Alice and Wonderland decor. We had a delightful tea time and can't wait to return with more friends! Thank you for hosting us! read more

What an underwhelming experience. I expected a somewhat elegant setting and this was not. No tablecloths, paper napkins. The decor had an Alice in Wonderland theme which was well put together The tea selection was plentiful and the ones we had were tasty enough. Since we had the full tea, each of us received a pot of tea and one of everything on the menu. Unfortunately, that meant the food offerings were much more sweet than savory, which seemed to be an odd mix. All of us in our party would have preferred more savories. There was no option to choose. All of the savory items were pretty good, with the exception of the egg/tofu finger sandwich. Tasteless goop on stale bread. The best dessert was the coconut creme, meant to be put on a scone. The shortbread cookie, "Eat Me", was cute but had no flavor. The big surprise was the price. $258 for three of us, which included their proscribed 20% gratuity. The experience did not justify the price. read more

This was my first time having a whole tea experience at Drink Me Tea Room! It was AMAZING! They have such a great tea menu, but I decided to try their banana nut bread tea. I was hesitant while ordering, but it was incredible. The flavor was so good! The pastries and little bites were perfect. Every bite felt like it was made with intention and care, they do not cut corners. The two servers were so sweet and helpful and really made the experience magical! This is the perfect place to go for a birthday or celebration! read more

We celebrated our daughter's 35th birthday at Drink Me today. We were greeted at the door and shown to a private room, decorated in all things Wonderland, that seated 12. Our hostess explained how everything worked, with menus cleverly added to well-worn and bookmarked books, the tea service and the timing. We got five pots of tea for the six adults and it worked out perfectly. We also got three fools of food, some savory, some sweet. Before service, they brought a dozen bottles of tea leaves for us to smell, plus they said they had bottles of every flavor they sold. We ordered Tweedle Twins, Marzipan, Earl Grey Cream, Mad Hatter and Alice. We each tried all of them but my favorite teas were the Tweedle Twins tea and the Earl Grey Cream. From the fools, my faves were the strawberry tarts, the hummus crostini and the cinnamon muffins. All of the teas, some of the sweets and a plethora of cute brunch-related items were all for sale at the neighboring shop. We each both tea and assorted knickknacks, such as stickers, tea pots, infusers, etc. All in all, we had a magical time at Drink Me but the prices were pretty steep. We paid for the concept and service more than the food. read more

Drink Me! Tea Room is officially a place I have been to twice, once for the Harry Potter theme and now for the Alice in Wonderland. Both are all-out experiences that immerse you in the theme. To this day, I do still think about the fake bacon-wrapped dates from the Harry Potter tea. That is one of the best things I have had the pleasure of eating. However, I think I would opt for the literary tea in the future. The full afternoon tea is always too much (and it's sixty-four dollars without the automatic gratuity) and I feel like the literary tea wouldn't make me regret the quantity of food I've consumed because my eyes are bigger than my stomach. Otherwise - please replace your gluten free bread. read more

Just came here again to try a seasonal tea set. I didn't realize they opened a store next door!! I love that I can buy and try out different teas. They also have a selection of vegan and gluten free pastries to choose from. I'll have to stock up some more on teas the next time we I'm in the area! read more

Food: cute and delicious food options. I also really enjoyed that it was all vegan and gluten free. You can't find that too often for tea rooms Drinks: the tea was delicious Service: our server was so sweet, I wish I remembered her name but I do remember it being spelled in a unique way. She was very helpful Ambiance: cute place with Alice and Wonderland theme. Misc: expensive for what you get, but I do understand its allergen friendly so that costs more. Parking was easy. read more

Girlfriends and I thought it would be fun to attend drag bingo. We bought our tickets for $25 each, not knowing what to expect. There was a bit of confusion, as the website said 6:00 but the email confirmation said 5:30. Turns out that the doors open at 5:30, and bingo starts at 6:00. The$25 drag bingo ticket does not include any food or drinks. The best thing about this place is the really cute atmosphere. It's definitely got an Alice in Wonderland tea party kind of feel. There are lots of story books and rabbits and pretty teapots. There's a corner with wing chairs and a faux fireplace with some shelves. I fell in love with the stuffed Cheshire cat and wished I could have grabbed him and run. It's actually quite large it has plenty of seating. In the corner is a counter where you can order food and tea and cocktails. First let me say that none of the four of us noticed either on the website on our confirmation emails that this place is vegan. We didn't notice that it did say on the window that everything is gluten-free and plant-based until after we had ordered and tried our food. So that said, we all really did not like anything we ordered except the fruit tart. We ordered the chickpea crostini, the banana pudding, the shortbread cookies, a berry tart, and the little maple pastries. The textures were weird and the flavors were just not good. I usually love banana pudding and but I left the entire cup uneaten. We actually left pretty much everything uneaten except that berry tart. Cocktails were weak. I will say the staff was delightful--very friendly and helpful. And my iced tea was fine. I'm also sure that all the different teas are good. But none of the four of us are gluten-free or vegan, and this place was not for us. read more

Looking for a tea party in the near future? Look no further than the Drink Me tea room on Warner Rd, Tempe, AZ -- it caters for all types of tea drinkers -- please read on! This tea room is great for parties I'd suggest as there's plenty of space for multiple parties of 4-6 persons -- and it seems quite relaxing with the decor. Customer service is exceptional with the staff aiming to please. I thought they were very conversational and they had an excellent understanding of the different teas selections. They have a terrific book which includes all the various teas on offer with descriptions of each-- very thought provoking. Their range of teas is also very good so I'm sure they'll have what your pallet demands. Incidentally the tea counter has a range of teas where you can smell and choose which one is the most appealing for you. One thing which I did find interesting is that the owners love the planet as they have a compost policy with local farmers so all of their waste goes back into go forms of fertilization. Parking is fine but it could be a challenge if you have a very large party. This business also has its own bakery next door where you can buy all sorts goodies-- make sure you try the scones before ordering your favorite tea! Lastly, tea is not just a chance to improve your sense of smell it's also extremely productive for health and wellness so I'd definitely recommend Drink Me! Tea room for all of the above reasons! read more

I really appreciate that this place is gluten free and vegan. Reservations need to be made in advance as they do book up.quick. the reservations were a bit confusing on the options as there.were limited details of what each contained. We opted for the full experience. The place was cute and it came with two types of tea. Both teas were good I really liked the toffee apple. For the food it was nice but there were way fewer savory then sweets it was not well balanced. The items on the stand were pretty good but the desserts on the plate were heavy and lacked flavor. read more

I am a fan of afternoon tea so I knew I had to try Drink Me Tea Room out! I went with the kiddo and my friend who is a fan of Alice in Wonderland and we went down the rabbit hole to try some vegan delights with a pot of loose leaf. The interior is so adorable, with all the unique little Alice in Wonderland art and decor. Your check is even presented in an Alice in Wonderland themed book! Off we went down the rabbit hole! My friend and I had the full tea and the little one had the literary tea, which is a smaller selection of goodies. For those that don't want tea they also offer mocktails and cocktails. I chose my tea mainly because it had color changing properties. It was a vanilla green tea with blue pea powder. I could definitely taste the vanilla flavor and you squeeze some slices of lemon to make it change color. While I really enjoyed seeing the change in colors when adding the acid, with the amount of lemon juice I needed to add to change the color of the tea my cups ended up tasting more like hot lemon water with a hint of vanilla rather than tea leaves. The kiddo had an herbal tea which got a thumbs up from her. The selection of sweets and sandwiches is varied and while I appreciated that they were vegan, some were more well executed than others. Some of the sandwiches were a little too salty for my tastes and the tart, while delicious, had a super runny jam filling so it was hard to eat it without fruit goo running down your hands. Service was great and we were checked up on as needed. Overall this is a great option for afternoon tea. I'd definitely come here again.

My sister was visiting and loves going for tea. She is vegan, so I chose this tea room to take her to. She loved it! We chose the Alice in Wonderland full tea which included scones, savory items, and sweets and a pot each of their delicious tea. I am not vegan, but enjoyed almost all of the savory items. The scones with coconut cream and lemon curd were yummy, but the sweets were out of this world delicious and so beautiful. Everything was so pretty, well presented, delicious and so much food we took a bunch home. Our server was so kind and attentive. The restaurant is adorable and decorated to a T with Alice in Wonderland decor. Such a cute and special place, and to have it be vegan and gluten free was the best! read more

12/7/24: Short version - wonderful experience, stellar staff, fantastic cocktails, beautifully themed decorations. It can be pricey, and if you're not vegan or a fan of gluten-free items, you may be unwilling to give it a try ... but don't let that stop you. We had three people at our afternoon tea, and none of us are vegan; we still had a great two hours. Longer version - ** reservations are required ** I am writing this a month late, but whoa, the experience still resonates. My sister was visiting and we always do one "big" thing while she's here. This trip it was Drink Me! Their holiday theme was Alice in Wonderland, and boy did they go all out on decorations. Their cocktails were aptly named, presented well, and tasted so damn good. Every single one of them. Yes, some were better than others, but between the three of us, we tried every one of their special tea cocktails from the menu and no lie, all good! The menus are presented in old books (what a novel idea! pun intended), they compost 95% of their materials (food, napkins, paper cups, etc), the staff was on top of their game the entire visit, and every single one was uber-friendly (kudos to our main server, Nekiyah). As I said, none of us are vegan or have gluten issues. With regard to the food items, some were better than others. The mini sandwiches were very good and seasoned well, it was the dessert items that I would not go for again -- but that's because I am addicted to sugar. ;-) There was a wide variety and a couple of them were not horrible, but my experience / view regarding gluten-free dessert items has always been that they are dense and lack flavor. Despite that, the food tray had excellent presentation and the desserts were decorated in a way that you could tell the bakers took their time. All three of us walked out of Drink Me! saying "WOW, what a trip! Let's do that again." Our final bill, minus tip, was $209. It was worth every penny. There are different tiers for menu selections (we chose one of the upper tiers) so please don't let the cost deter you from trying Drink Me! It is a fun place, especially if you have a special occasion to celebrate. read more

I wanted to love this place..but sadly I did not. This was my 5th high tea experience, the first was before I was even vegetarian. The other 3 experiences were in establishments that offered vegan options. I found Drink Me Tea Room on my last trip to AZ. It's within walking distance from my ex in-law's house. I saw that reservations are required, so did not make it over during that trip. Well when I knew that I would be heading back to AZ, I asked if my ex mother-in-law would like to go, my treat. She had never had a high tea experience. I was excited for her to try it out, and I didn't mention that it was vegan. I was really hoping for the food to be epic. I've been to places where the vegan options were delicious, and thought since this place was 100% vegan, that they would have some great creations. Maybe there could have been something I could have done to ensure that we would have enjoyed the food more. They brought out a book that included menus of the tea selection, cocktails and mocktails and food selections. Not sure if the foods not included in the standard offering was at an additional cost. I forgot to bring my reading glasses. I decided to trust what was the standard offering of food. We chose our tea, and we both received our individual pots of tea. And I will say that the teas were delicious. They didn't offer cream, but I asked if they had any, and there were several selections, I chose soy. There was a glass container with colorful sugar cubes. The bottom plate had the savory bites. There was a crostini with chickpea salad. Not very interesting..I make chickpea salad at home a couple times a month. There was a small container of diced cucumbers, diced croutons (?) balsamic dressing, cucumber cut in flower shapes with something on top, they were cute, but not flavorful. There were scones, no clotted cream or jams. There was a little bit of a sweet cream on middle plate, but didn't think to put on scone. The little chocolate cake with playing card was delicious as was the little pie or tart. I didn't care for the mushroom macaroons. The cookie with Eat Me on top were good while sipping tea. The ratio of sweets to savory was unbalanced with more sweets. This place was expensive. I paid $40 deposit and $67.60 at the end of our underwhelming experience. I believe that's typical of a high tea experience, but I don't think I got my money's worth. read more

I loved this place. I found them by looking for a restaurant that would have gluten-free and dairy free options. They thought out all of the best cutest little options to spruce the place up and make it really look like an Alice in Wonderland theme from the tea types and the changing color tea for the Alice and the brands of the tea or I guess the flavors of the tea and the foods that they had everything was amazing. My mom is always pretty picky and doesn't like gluten-free or dairy free foods, but she liked everything except the chickpeas and maybe the mushrooms but the bathroom decorations, the little things in the bookcases. All of the details were pretty awesome and amazing to see the staff was wonderful. They did something special for my niece's graduation, which was very unexpected and they were super sweet. I would totally go back here so much so that when my niece graduates next year with her masters. She wants to come back here to celebrate so while I live on the other side of the country, I will be back. read more

If you need a special place to celebrate yourself, or someone else then Drink Me Tea Room is the place to be! The theme when I visited was Alice in Wonderland and it was delicious and delightful. The Tea themes rotate so check their website often. Our servers were Anya and Ninneth, both were welcoming, knowledgeable and gracious during our tea service. You get two hours per reservation, which is plenty of time. We enjoyed the full tea and that gave us a taste of everything in the menu. My favorite was the lemon curd and coconut cream served with the vanilla and currant scones. I excitedly look forward to my next visit. read more

Drink Me! Tea Room in Tempe has a friendly and attentive staff, which made the experience pleasant. However, I found the prices to be a bit high for what was offered. The atmosphere felt a little cheesy and poorly put together, especially considering the cost. We went for the Harry Potter days and it was okay and offered some cute photos, but I wouldn't go back for the price. There was also an automatic gratuity added which I didn't think was necessary for a party of 2 people and the staff only had to come to our table a couple of times. I appreciated that the menu was entirely vegan, but many of the sweets lacked flavor or were dry. On a positive note, there was a good selection of mocktails, and the tea was tasty, which added to the overall experience. Overall it's a cute spot and the staff was friendly, but I expected more value for the price. read more

Fun meets sustainability at this cute little tea room. They are very focused on the environment, with compostable to-go containers, and established recycling and waste reduction policies. I wish more businesses were this "green"! The staff is very friendly and dedicated to make it a fun experience. The food is all gluten-free and vegan, which is great for people with food sensitivity. I believe it is made with ingredients that are locally sourced and organic. My friend and I had the sweets tray and it was plenty to eat - we brought leftovers home. Lots of teas to choose from as well, and some fun mocktails. I had the marzipan rooibos (herbal) tea and it was delicious (highly recommend if you like almond flavor). Lots of cute details to go with the theme - we did the Alice in Wonderland one. It is a bit pricey but it makes for a fun experience! read more

I'm having the Wonderland Full Afternoon Tea: savories, scones, sweets, and Lady Grey tea! Special-tea Mocktails and Cocktails also adorn the menu. Bethany, Milla, Dusty worked the room to ensure everyone had an intimate experience. They were wonderful. While waiting for my tea treats, I'm reading excerpts of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland beautifully displayed on my table - literally. Finally The Tier Tray arrives and it is beautiful. Every tier has me looking forward to the next. Even items I don't normally love, I really really like! (Try the Egg Salad Sandwich). All items are baked each day based on Reservations(required) which helps eliminate waste. Drink Me! is dedicated to sustainability and compost all food and paper waste, recycling and providing compostiible take away containers. I'm looking forward to returning in June. The theme will be the Broadway hit Hamilton!!! read more

This place offers such a fun experience! They are so caring and customer-experience oriented. The food was great, and though other reviews mention high prices, the quantities are huge (and the prices reflect livable wages for their staff as well as maintaining environmentally friendly supplies). I can't wait to come back with my mom and best friend-- who has a husband who has anaphylaxis to nuts and I inquired if they could accommodate menu items for him, to which they kindly said yes-- even if it took compiling new items just for him, fully nut free. All they need is notice ahead of time to tailor the experience. Very kind people! read more

What a cute tea room! It is Alice in Wonderland themed, plant-based, and gluten-free. The chocolate cake with raspberry coconut-based "buttercream" was my favorite! We tried the marzipan rooibos tea and the Lady gray lavender Bergamont tea. Both were perfectly steeped (not bitter at all) and stayed warm for almost the full two hours! They offer mocktails and cocktails if you want to booze up your tea party. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The general manager told us there will be a Saint Patrick's day themed event coming up next weekend and a Harry Potter themed event after that. This would be a great place to go out with friends, a date, with kids, or for a small party. A lot of people came dressed up too :) read more

My first review of the year and this place deserves it. I first learned of afternoon tea when I was researching things to do in another state. Ever since I saw that recommendation I've been wanting to try out afternoon tea. The problem: I eat gluten free and dairy free and could not find any tea room that could accommodate this. Until one day there popped up an ad for Drink Me! on Facebook and I thought for the fun of it I would pull up the website to see if they had any options for me. I cannot even begin to tell you how delighted I was to find out that all the options here are gluten free and vegan! My husband and I went for the Winter Wonderland tea the day after Christmas. Every single item was delicious. My husband even thought so and he doesn't usually eat vegan or gluten free. The attention to detail is amazing. They really did think of everything. The decor is nicely done and it was all decorated for Christmas. The menu is creative. There are just fun little things all along the way. The pastries were super cute and winter themed (and every single one of them delicious). The service was excellent. There were a good number of options of tea and they were amazing. I am thrilled that a place like this exists and cannot wait to come back for every themed event they have. I will also bring everyone who comes to town to visit here. Come here even if you don't have to eat gluten free or vegan, you will not be disappointed! Such a nice way to spend the afternoon! read more

Delighted to be attending the soft opening of Drink Me Tea Rooms Tea & Treats to go. I have long been a fan of the tea room and am now excited I can get my beloved macaroons for home. We got almond, earl gray, and matcha macaroons today. I got an iced earl gray cream tea with oat milk. It is delightful, slightly sweet and creamy. Husband got a Mediterranean blue iced tea which has a slight taste of licorice; he said it is yummy. Hooray for to go tea and snacks! They have cold brew coffee as well. I will try that next time. read more

Cute spot for tea and treats with friends for family! It is a bit on the pricier end for what you get but you are paying for the experience. Friend and I each got the literary tea which is about $37/pp before tax and gratituity (which they add for you at the end). After, it was about $47/pp. It came with a pot of tea for each of us and an assortment of savories and sweets. The tea and food was just OK - most of it felt like grocery store quality treats but at least they were fresh. I did enjoy the vanilla scone and coconut cream the most. Service was really good though, they are ready and happy to assist with any requests you have! You do need to make a reservation ahead online! read more

It was our first time at this place, and the team has everything down to a T (hehe). We had the wonderful tea option, which we got to try everything the offer. We each had our own tea and our own set of eats. The favorite of the table was the macaroons, the snickerdoodle cake and there was a carrot crostini we enjoyed too. All the food offerings were vegan and gluten free which is good to see those options. But, the tea is what makes the experience - every pour smelled soo good. Decorated nicely with the Alice in Wonderland vibes and books everywhere which is very cute! Reservations are required and 2 hour max. The team there ia very respectful and prompt. I do want to share the reason for the 3 stars - we had a great time and enjoyed the tea, can't say we were fans of all the food offerings (we had 3 things we liked the most) read more

This experience is a great idea but lacks quality in execution. For $64 a person, the trays should be full. Each tray comes with a bite size portion of a handful of snacks. The bakery items are okay for being gluten free and vegan, but for the price, they shouldn't skimp on quantity. I left hungry. The seating and glassware is not $64 a person quality. Very cheap feeling for such a high price. I would not recommend this experience. Go take yourself out to a very nice dinner for the same price. read more

If you like vegan and gluten free, then this place is for you. Otherwise, you will need a special palate to appreciate the desserts and sweet treats that is offered. I wasn't impressed especially with the paper napkins and cheap silverware that was used. The organic tea choices were good at least. The servers needed to be dressed nicer. It's not your customary tea room. The ambiance was just not there. No thank you... read more

This is probably the 6th high tea I've done, always in different venues, and by FAR the best! We went during a Halloween themed event that lasted three weeks or so, and I'm so happy we did. Well the standard theme is Alice in wonderland, they do various other themed events throughout the year, so check with the current one is for sure since the decor and menu all changes. We got the full service option so we could try out all of the goodies they had, and it was really special. Definitely enough food, and we even took a bunch home! Next time we will probably get one full set for one person and the savories only for the other because it was heavy on the sweets. Fantastic service, and look forward to returning! read more

Had read the reviews about this place and was excited to try this tea room. I LOVE tea and it is a favorite thing of mine to go to different tea rooms. The environment is quite cute and I was set to purchase merch at the store after we were done (We had been shopping prior to our reservation). Once seated, we were made to wait despite other tables who had arrived later than us were being helped. The wait staff finally came over and explained how to read their menu (we had been already looking at it for 10 minutes). They were excited about the mission of the business and even pointed out the compostable toilet paper. Not the image you want to have right before eating When asked for tea recommendations, the wait staff shared that they haven't tried most of the teas and didn't seek out others to answer my questions. I was able to sniff some teas before hand but was pushed to make a decision on my tea choice. Although I am not vegan, I have had vegan food quite a bit. This however was not good. There were issues with the textures of the food (the bread was extremely dry). There was an overpowering smokiness to much of the food. We ate carrots but could not taste the carrot flavor at all as it was drenched in smokiness. Overall, one thing I typically love with vegan food is the natural flavors that come out from the food and instead here it was as if they were trying to mask the flavors. The redeeming quality of the meal was the pumpkin scone. We ended up leaving within 30 minutes of the meal starting as we could not eat anymore. We sampled almost everything looking for something we could appreciate and left highly disappointed. The tea I drank was good. I am sad I spent so much money treating my mom to what was supposed to be a lovely lunch and a special occasion and instead will go down in our history as the tea place we couldn't get through the meal. read more

Wow! What a great time we had a Drink Me! Tea Room a few days ago. I made a reservation online for a group of gal pals to celebrate Galentine's Day. (Reservations are required.) We were seated right away in the private area which seats about 14, I think. The first thing we noticed was the amazing decor. Very Alice in Wonderland with purples and black. The entire place is nicely decorated with cute accents everywhere. Our host (Dusty) greeted us warmly and was very nice and accommodating. She explained the menu and teas. We had already opted for the literary tea online. You can add additional alcoholic or non -alcoholic beverages when you're there. The menu is inserted into a book. It was totally charming! It's little details like this that make a place special! Everything was tasty and vegan and gluten-free! Worked so well for me and my friends. My favorite was the brownie, but the coconut crème was to die for. I could have eaten a ton of that by itself. Bottom line: We will be celebrating here often. Great staff, tasty treats and adorable space. What a welcome addition to Tempe! read more
