I loved the Adam bomb cookies! I see why the cookies continue to be a best seller. I was hesitant at first thinking they were soft chocolate chip cookies. They had a nice crutch, plenty of chocolate chips, and a delicious cream frosting. The cinnamon strudel and apple crumble muffins are big, flavorful, and baked well. The banana chocolate chip, cafe au lait, blueberry maple, and peppermint white chocolate cupcakes were all a bit dry. The frosting on each cupcake had a burst of flavor. Unfortunately, cupcakes and muffins aren't items I'll consider purchasing again. Note: The shop name has changed. Unsure if there's a new owner. The staff I encountered was friendly and the ambiance was warm and cozy. read more

If disappointment was a drink, it would be exactly this lavender matcha. The color seemed like a rich green color, which gave me hope. However, I quickly found out that It was pretty much green-colored water with strong lavender flavor. I'd highly recommend this drink if you are feeling a $5.50 extra-bland drink. Other than that, the overall atmosphere with small and cute. read more

I saw this place before and it caught my eye because it was a bakery and a bookstore. I finally made it inside today and it was cute. There were many varieties of cupcakes, cookies and other pastries along with quiche. The bookstore section was a lot smaller than I anticipated it being but I still love the concept. My granddaughter got a sugar cookie and I got a chocolate sweet roll which both of us enjoyed. I also got red velvet cupcakes which we haven't tried yet. read more

Went for the matcha but it was way too watery. Only decent one is the lavender matcha but even then it didn't taste great

I have been here at least 3-4 times in the past week, and that pretty much sums up how I feel about this place. Such a magical place. I don't even know where to begin. This cute and homey cafe is located on Magnolia. It's almost hidden and I have driven past this location multiple times. They have a plethora of yummy baked goods that are freshly made each morning. Each time I have entered, there is something new to try. My personal favorite is the almond chocolate toffee muffin. Did I mention that their matcha is yummy and only $4.50 for an 8 oz cup? I had the best time eating and drinking my goods while reading my book the other day. Seating is limited, however, my favorite spot is next to the bookshelf and window overlooking Magnolia Street. Such a pretty sight, especially on a sunny day. They also have book-friendly curated events and novelties in the cafe. In one corner, there is a 'blind book date' section where you can pick out a book based on the blurb written by the sharer. In the other corner, there is a section where you can write little motivational messages for anyone to read or pick up. They also have sparking tea's! Good variety of things to try here, you won't get bored :) read more

What a cute little shop! I really enjoyed the smaller intimate space here. Design of the shop inside is just very well thought out, and aesthetically pleasing. It was very quiet inside with very many options on literature to read, and new book releases for purchase. They are also very community involved with many events for bibliophiles. I feel this would be a great way to meet authors and hear them speak, future authors, writers and other like minded individuals to come together. I love a great book club. Large assortment of different teas to enjoy while you work, or catch up with a friend. The staff are amazing and had great tea recommendations. Situated on the southside next to Tulips, many spaces for street parking with ease. read more

I didn't want to leave! While there I had the coconut chai, the hibiscus summer iced drink and I had another one I sadly don't remember but it was yummy!!!! I would suggest it over many places any day! I'm gonna straight up and say I appreciate the pricing, made me stay longer and order more drinks and tell my friends about it so, I hope this place continues being awesome, and the people that work there are so knowledgeable, I felt so spoiled and happy read more

Great location. I love that side of town b/c it's not showy, but it's a cool place to be without all the hipsters crowding the area. :D The tea here is fantastic. I had to try the tea on tap immediately b/c ....uh hello? Fizzy tea! It was so good. I got the sparkling honey ginger along with a sweet treat from 3 danes bakery. It was all so delicious. I should have gotten another tea to go. :D The shop itself is beautiful. It's very clean, well laid-out, very cute and plenty of space to hang out, read, work on work, study, etc. it was a very welcoming atmosphere. Will be bringing some friends with me next time :D read more

Leaves Book and Tea Shop - Asweet treat from 3 Danes bakery and sparkling honey ginger tea. #nomnomnom - Bookstores Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

This is a perfectly lovely shop, but their tea is so weak that there is no flavor. I chose the Earl Grey, but there was no Bergamot flavor nor scent to it. What was that tea?? They also asked if I wanted milk and then charged extra for it -- and they added way too much, making the tea even worse. No other shop in the world charges for milk unless you're having Chai --even greedy Starbucks includes the milk or cream. Making that clear to a new customer would help rather than asking a standard, "Would you like milk?" If you like fruity or green teas, it may be fine, but if you enjoy a proper cup of tea -- you're out of luck here. read more

This is a cute new shop in the Near Southside area. It is a cute book shop with simple, clean decor. Books are organized by topic: you'll find a novel nestled next to a biography next to a book on theory. The inspiration/anticipation is that if you read a couple of books from the same topic your horizon will be expanded. Bookstore, yes! BUT they also serve tea!! They have iced and hot brews. Nuanced blends and interesting flavors. THAT'S NOT IT!! They have tea on tap 2-3 varieties. Not sure what that means? Sparkling tea, guys! Yep, tea that bubbles like a crisp, smooth beer... without the hangover. So. Good. Go. Try. Return. read more

I love this sweet little Book and Tea Shop. While it has been on my radar for quite a few years, my first time visiting was for a special event in their dinner and conversation series. They offered the coziest of spaces, delicious tea, and a very intentional selection of books. The programming for the event was on Death and Dying and it couldn't have been better. I am officially obsessed with Leaves and can't wait to continue to support them. read more

Cute little shop in a growing part of Fort Worth. We were surprised they were open on New Years Day, as everything else in the area was closed. Pleasantly surprised. There isn't a large selection of books but had an interesting collection. One corner is dedicated to local authors, which I thought was very cool. There is a nice mixture of seating that was comfortable and the atmosphere is relaxing. The woman behind the counter was friendly and explained the teas to us. There is a box on the counter with their selection, so you can smell their offerings. Sounds weird, but is very helpful when deciding what to order. I chose the iced coconut chai. The aroma was lovely though the flavor was mostly just chai. I enjoyed it and the cute little handled mason jars it was served in. I wish I could have sampled the sparking teas as that sounds interesting. It is $4 for an iced tea and $3 for hot. There weren't any pastries on the day we came in, but it was New Years Day. It was a fun stop in an interesting area and I will be back around check out more of what the southside has to offer. read more

highly recommend! super friendly and helpful staff! I love all of their book events and their sweet treats are 10/10

Such a cute tea shop!! I can't believe it's been around for so long and I just now found it because this place is so cool!! It's right next to a bunch of other cute shops too! They have so many books and teas to choose from. Such a great environment and plenty of tables to do work on! I went when it was slightly busy so it was a tad hard to focus on harder work but great for busy work and the turmeric chai I had was so good!!! read more

I came across this gem over the weekend. It's set off in a developing area just south of downtown. Street parking was readily available. The inside of the tea and bookstore is charming. There are interesting shelves with a good selection of books. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the staff. They explained all the different teas and offered samples. I went right for a slice of delicious looking cake that turned out to be a chocolate Earl Grey cake. It was as tasty as it looked. I decided to wash it down with some iced Earl Grey. The tea was perfectly steeped and tasted amazing. I suggest you take a trip and try it out sometime. It's a great place to have some tea, read a book, and relax. read more

Leaves Book and Tea Shop - a cup of matcha - Bookstores Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Had some time to myself this afternoon so I decided to have a cup of tea after visiting the Kimbell. This tea shop is in an interesting courtyard with a pretty church down the street on one side, and a bit of a creepy industrial area the other way (don't let it scare you off!!). The shop is decorated in a lovely way - not a huge amount of seating, but it was very slow while I was there on a Friday afternoon so that was just fine. They have board games and books, and quiet classical music. I had a cup of Assam tea that was perfectly brewed. Ask for milk or cream at the bar - they don't have it on the condiment shelf. I also had a slice of the lemon cake, which was super delicious! I'm a picky cake eater, but this one tasted like homemade. They have a few more pastries under a glass case, but this place really focuses on the tea. Really fun approach, and the service was super kind and friendly. I'm not in Fort Worth often, but if I come back, Leaves will be on my list! read more

Can't say enough about how amazing this gem is in Fort Worth! The tea is hands down the best tea I've had in the metroplex. Quality customer service. Clean. No plastic. No straws. So many amazing books to choose from (unique, POC focused children's books too). I'm hooked! No WiFi so you can have the ultimate unplugged experience! read more

What a find! Their varieties of teas are amazing! I enjoyed a spicy chai and sampled an apple berry carbonated cold tea. It's a great place to sit back and relax. I replenished my loose tea supply and look forward to bringing the experience home!! A must see when visiting Fort Worth! read more

This is a lovely little spot to meet a friend, read a book or work for a bit. It's small and there are limited spaces to sit but it's near other shops and outdoor sitting areas. The tea is good but there aren't many book options. read more

Excellent tea blends available here. Texas Rose and Texas Breakfast are two of my fav's. The book selection is unique and it's obvious that they put a lot of effort into supporting local authors. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The place itself is a little short on atmosphere. It's quiet to the point of feeling like you should whisper. read more

My favorite place in Fort Worth... period. Amazing staff, chill space, everything the community needs

My wife loves this place! We've been buying mostly their dry tea mixes and carbonated iced tea. The tea is about the best quality I could hope for and is less expensive than central market's imported teas of similar quality. Some of my favorites have been the Texas breakfast, earl grey, and English breakfast. The carbonated teas are delicious and perfect for a hot day. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, so ask questions! They're also doing a great job keeping the shop sterile and safe amid Covid. Try them out! read more

I like this place. . . But I don't LOVE it. PROS: -lots of tea -bright and cheery aesthetic -quiet -accessible parking CONS: -as a bibliophile, I would struggle to call this establishment a book store as there are just not that many books and despite trying to engage their tea makers in book banter (which is a great joy of my life and why I go to small independent bookstores in the first place) you can't get very far because they're making tea and either don't love the books or can't waste time on such frivolities -their cups of tea are small and $3 for hot tea and so I'm that person who spends about $12 when I go there on cups of tea. I wish I had a tea bag to reuse OR there was a small discount on cup number 2.3.4 -the seating isn't that cozy and the ceiling fan is like the polar vortex. That's all. It's 3.5 stars. Better than middle of the road but not a knockout. Because of it being a small business I gave them the benefit of the doubt and rounded my review stars up read more

This is a great spot. It feels very inviting. You can grab one of the books, settle in, and enjoy your tea and some reading. I also love that its a bit tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Magnolia. Well worth checking out. read more

I need to emphasize that I am not a tea-lover, yet this place made me love tea. It was that delicious! I loved the atmosphere too. It was like a little book shop that also sells teas and pastries. There were people reading, studying, and chatting with friends. The space isn't too big, so there isn't a whole lot of seating - a few tables with chairs, a bar with stools, and a couch area. The staff was also wonderful, as they let me sample a few different types of tea before I made my final decision. I will absolutely be telling my friends about this place and coming back! read more

Love this place. I've liked all the tea I've gotten so far. But if you're a student like me expecting to study here, this place has no wifi.

Awesome place to grab a snack and drink some delicious, delicious tea! So many different varieties of teas and books. The staff is so friendly and explained all the different types of teas and flavors. They even sell loose leaf tea. read more

Such a great atmosphere and delicious tea! The sparkling teas are so refreshing. I can't wait to come back for more.

Really nice and quiet place to eat and study. I expected it to be more of a bookshop than tea shop but I still loved the vibe of the place.

Great vibe, super friendly staff and really good tea. I especially like the iced citrus peach black tea with some simple syrup. I highly recommend this place the next time you need a place to study or read or if you're meeting up with friends. read more

We visited because it was listed as an independent bookstore, but it was so much more! State of the art tea brewing operation with staff assisted tea selection for the uninitiated - we had iced teas: Tropical Green and Sparkling Earl Grey (who knew that iced tea could be carbonated, brilliant!!). They were fabulous. Then if you are not in a hurry, you can kick back and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and peaceful decor. Spaces for lounging and working were available and the whole vibe was one of calm and relaxation - there was even an outdoor space to enjoy the sun. We would definitely make this our local if we lived in the US, who knew that tea could be so trendy (or is this place setting the trend?). read more
