    Starter Salad
    Alyssa Y.

    Located in Chinatown on Nuuanu Avenue next to O'Kims, Tea at 1024 is a good place for those looking for a cozy, relaxing and homey afternoon tea. If you're lucky you can find street parking, if not you can park in one of the many paid parking structures and open lots around the area. You can make reservations by going to their website and selecting their Afternoon Tea or one of their food alternatives such as Vegetarian, Pescatarian or Vegan Afternoon Tea. They also have catering and To-Go Box Sets. The time limit is 2 hours. When you walk in, you are greeted and brought to your table. The interior is homey with light pink walls, pink chairs and walls lined with china and tea sets. It was cool and air conditioned as well. Our server explained our Afternoon Tea Service and we got to choose from their selection of tea cups. They have a variety of tea options and flavors that range in caffeine level from Black Tea to Herbal Teas. You also have the option to add milk, honey or sugar. I chose the Sencha Cherry Rose Green Tea. It had a mild Green Tea flavor with a hint of rose. You have your own tea pot and our server refilled my pot with hot water for refills. They brought out a salad for our starter and a basket with two types of scones along with strawberry jam and clotted cream. The scones were okay, dense and a little dry. The jam and clotted cream helped. The final part of the tea service was brought out onto 2 plates, one with a selection of finger sandwiches and one with a variety of desserts. They had a good selection of sandwich options such as egg salad, cucumber and pesto, curry chicken with apple, tuna salad and smoked salmon. My favorites were the smoked salmon and cucumber pesto. For the desserts we were given a berry parfait, sugar cookie and chocolate cake. The desserts were simple, nothing too special, but satisfied my sweets craving. Overall it's a good place for those wanting to be introduced to a traditional afternoon tea service. Since it's in Chinatown I was hesitant, but we booked the first morning appointment at 10:45am and it was perfect. The 2 hour time limit is generous, the price was reasonable and it's a good way to sit down and spend time with friends. Will definitely come back to try more of their tea selections and just relax.

    Tea for 2 please! Yelp BFF and I experienced casual afternoon tea in London and that's exactly what I wanted for my birthday. Upon arrival, you're warmly welcomed and have a chance to look around at all the cute little trinkets. We got to choose our tea cups amongst a large assortment. I opted for a pink rosy one. We were then ushered to the prime window seating area to review the selection of tea. I got a strawberry green tea and BFF got a watermelon oolong. Tea for 2 comes with a salad, scones, finger sandwiches and an assortment of dessert. The berry salad with vinaigrette topped with feta was a great way to start the meal. We received an ube scone and cinnamon scone each, which came with strawberry jam and clotted cream. My favorite finger sandwiches is between the smoked salmon and avocado sandwich. The desserts were ok (a little dry imo). I did receive a birthday cupcake/brownie dusted in pink glitter. It was such a magical experience and a great way to celebrate my birthday! Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

    Huge tea selection, cutest spot ever, for the tea loving maximalists, get to choose your tea cup, yummy snacks, best time with the girlies

    Always such a delight to come to Tea at 1024. I caught up with a girlfriend who was visiting town over some afternoon tea. The lavender scone was freshly baked and hot out of the oven. Sooo delicious! Lattrecia (owner) also was so sweet about accommodating some of my dietary preferences.

    Tea time with the ladies This was my 1st tea experience. It was nice. A reservation was made online, with one of our group gluten free. Parking on Sunday, meters are free, or the Chinatown Gateway Plaza (entrance on Bethel) is very inexpensive for the 2 hour block of tea time. They send info about parking in advance, which was nice. Upon arrival, they have you pick out your teacup and saucer. The tea list is comprised of a big selection, several levels of caffeine, and non tea options are available. They prepare food items, and for our reservation, we had lunch (brunch type). This included, salad, scones, sandwiches with the crusts removed, and desserts. Each person picked their tea and received a small teapot. It was refilled with hot water midway through the timeframe. Service was excellent and they explained the teas and all the treats served. The dining experience was nice. There were mostly ladies in the venue, and a small family with their daughter. Some people wore hats and most people had dresses. There were items for sale inside. It was really cute. The amount of food and tea was filling as well.

    This is the cutest little tea shop. They had lots of tea options and they were great! I had a simple english breakfast tea and enjoyed all the tea cakes, the egg sandwich will always be my favorite. The server was so nice and checked on us plenty and made sure we never ran out of tea. It was a nice time, they played beautiful music and it was very artsy and quiet inside. I would come again.

    every time I go, the experience is top notch. I love how accommodating they are for different dietary restrictions. Best tea shop on Oahu! Highly recommend and can't wait for my next visit.

    We celebrated our friends bday here, she loves this place and always goes here for High Tea. It was a handful of us mom friends in our high tea outfits, it was so cute. Especially if your a Bridgerton fan like us. It was my first time here and it was a pleasant and intimate experience. I would highly recommend this place to others who want to experience high tea but away from Waikiki & the expensive hotels. We loved our server too, she was so kind and attentive. It started off with our choice to select our individual tea cup set and tea flavor, we each got served our own mini tea pot already steeping and our own little hourglass timer. The scones came cute little sizes with jam and a whipped cream for the table. Scones was a-little dry and i wish it was a little warmer and served with whipped butter as a choice too but it was well presented and great with the tea as a starter. Then our little garden salad came super cute served in a tea cup and saucer with fresh strawberries, blue berries and feta cheese. Loved this salad & this dressing so good! Simple but so good. Next came the tier plate of tea sandwiches which was perfectly little sizes and pretty good. I wasn't super impressed with the Little desserts at the top but again for the price it was okay. I was super excited for this part but it was still very well presented and good. Everything matched the price. Would def come back here for high tea. Note, be mindful where you park, i paid $15 ‍ and walked down 2 blocks but learned there is cheaper closer parking spots.

    Engaging par-tea of seven honoring our dear friend's birthday. Best to make reservation and select choice of menu with advance payment online. Arrive on time. Two hours to enjoy. Seating for two to eight guests. Employee will inform patrons to select choice of teacup. Enjoy their salad, scones, assorted sandwiches, desserts, and caffeinated or decaf teas. Vanilla Pu'erh tasted tea-riffic! I personally loved their house salad with fresh fruits and feta cheese, open faced rotisserie chicken with berry-Jalapeño creme, smoked salmon with dill cream, cucumber with pesto sandwich, and pumpkin cheesecake tartlet. Feel free to dress up. Capture photos of Queen Elizabeth II and sip on Buckingham Palace tea for a regal experience. Keep it fun with photos of Audrey Hepburn. Thank you to the two employees who worked diligently. Restrooms are located in back vicinity. Options are getting dropped off and picked up. Metered street parking available for up to one hour Monday through Saturday except Sundays and holidays. Park in Chinatown Gateway Plaza, level P2, sign indicates Stairs to Nuuanu Ave. Ambience highlights afternoon tea.

    You get to choose your own teacup. How cute is this?

    Tea 1024 has been on my list for some time. I had some friends coming into town and took the opportunity to go which was a real treat. Make sure you reserve ahead of time on their website. They are closed on Sunday and Tuesday, so take that into consideration when booking. I think the price was well worth the experience that be paid. Parking can be a little bit tricky since it is in Chinatown. There may be a lot of metered street parking options, but do keep note of how long your spot is allocated for. The tea options are expansive and you each get a pot of tea with diligent hot water refills. We each got a different type (black/white/herbal) which was great because we each got to try something different. The sandwiches and dessert were not as good as they could have been. They were very aesthetically pleasing, but did not have much flavor to them. I think everything was a little bit heavy and overly creamy. The amount that was given was definitely a good portion size, though for everyone at the table. The salad was my favorite as well as the scones. Despite the food, not missing the mark the experience was quite fulfilling and I would still do it again. Grab a group of girls and go out for tea - I promise you won't regret it.

    It's been over 10 years since I've dined here or stopped in for High Tea. That said, a couple friends of mine and I decided to go here for high tea and it was a perfect choice of venue. Michele was the proprietor when I initially visited Tea at 1024. Today, it is owned and run by Lattrecia, former employee turned proprietor- how cool is that? Located in downtown Honolulu, in Chinatown actually is Tea at 1024. They have been in this location FOREVER!!! Depending on when you go, you can park on the streets or there are municipal parking lots in close proximity. At this time, they are on their summer menu (very delightful and refreshing) and keep in mind the menu changes like seasons. They also offer 3 types of teas (black, green and white) and by request you may find some herbal teas. They also offer a vegan menu on request. Definitely a great place to go if you're looking for a feminine tea time or, if you're having a baby shower, bridal shower or for that matter; you really don't need a reason to dine here. And let me just say that men are also invited and will definitely enjoy the food, fun and fellowship. Payment requested upon confirmation of reservations so be wary of that. So, com'n Ladies and Gents!, get with Tea at 1024 for some fun food and fellowship.

    A cute little shop with cute decor and cute cups you get to choose from for your service. Reservations are highly recommended, and must be paid in full if your reservation is accepted. Whoever works the phones was super helpful and patient with answering my questions. Got 2 gluten free and 2 standard sets. Good food all around. Tea service comes with a salad served in a tea cup, 6 finger sandwiches, 3 desserts, and 1 choice of tea per person. We each ordered a different tea since they have such a wide variety of loose leaf to choose from. The cucumber kimchi sandwich is such a good twist on a classic tea sandwich. They also have clotted cream to go with the scones. The scones themselves were buttery and dense, and the lavender scone wasn't perfumey with the level of lavender in it. They even brought out an extra dessert not on the menu for my mom's birthday. Service was excellent, considering half the shop was reserved for a party of what looked close to 20 people. We arrived about 10 minutes early and were seated almost immediately, and got our teapots topped up twice during our stay. Our server was friendly and described every tea flavor we asked about, so the staff is knowledgeable and well trained.

    Brought my daughter to her first tea time as a mommy and daughter day date. She was so excited to come here. This was my 4th time here, and as usual, I loved it. Once we arrived, the host seated us at the window where there were cute chairs, it was secluded, and decorated with cuteness! The menu & place settings were already set, so we were given a few minutes to look over the menu. I got strawberry green tea and my daughter got hot cocoa. The drinks came fast and it was delicious! The food was a set menu (wish we were able to choose the sandwiches though bc my daughter only eats egg sandwich lol) but everything given was delicious to me! It was cut in bite size and the desserts were so yummy! By the end of the first hour, my daughter said she was already full. It was really nice to just sit, talk, & enjoy with my daughter. Thank you Tea at 1024, can't wait to come here again!

    Tea at 1024 Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Tea at 1024

    Where is the parking?

    Park in the Municipal Parking lot on Bethel.

    I've never been to Tea at 1024 before and do not understand the website. Do we pay for the reservation in advance for the sake of having a reservation, with tea and sandwiches being extra cost? Or is it pay now so you don't pay later?

    You pay for the reservation in advance and that includes a plate of pastries, and a tiered sandwich with that and dessert depending on what you order. Then you're already paid and you leave after you're done.

    For the Pixie, what do the accompanying parents usually do? And it reads like each reservation is for 2 hours? (Thinking about doing a birthday party for a 5 year old).

    Usually the parents get the Afternoon Tea and join their little ones or the young at heart for Tea. You are allotted 2 hours from the start of your reservation but don't have to stay for the whole 2 hours.

    Are there options that are both gluten free and vegan?

    Yes! Be sure to ask for those options in advanced

    Do they sell children's tea sets?

    Yes they do. There are cute sets to purchase and have your own tea party at home.

    Do they do walk ins?

    They do take walk-ins but since there is a new owner, they have become super busy and if you want to be sure to get a table a reservation is recommended.

    The pixie party says for the young and young at heart is the menu for this option a good idea for 2-30 something young at heart birthday girls?

    I am not sure what you are asking

    Is there a time limit for a tea party? Online it always says 5 minutes by the pricing, so I'm really confused by that.

    I was told by my waitress/hostess that you have 2 hours from the start of your reservation. However, if you reserved for the last seating or if there's no reservation after yours, they won't rush you.

    Do they allow professional cameras?

    I’m not sure what you mean by professional cameras but I know they do encourage picture taking. You can call or reach out to them and ask too...

    What's the price?

    www.teaat1024.net/menu A regular high tea is $22.95 or $26.95/person. I think the price difference… Read more

    Love this cute classy cafe with its authentic Japanese dessert and tea selection unlike anywhere…read moreelse I've been to in Hawaii. They have an interesting selection of Japanese flavored gelato including miso, black sesame, Kinako, azuki and green tea of course. There was a Yuzu ginger gelato which is more of a sorbet too. You can get traditional accompaniments like shiratama (mochi) and azuki (beans) . I only wish they had more non dairy options for us lactose intolerants. My friend got a Matcha latte which she really liked. Another friend got Kinako gelato with mochi topped with chocolate sauce that paired perfectly! I would take Lactaid to eat this! Teas: -Kabusecha kara which had a bitter umami profile . It started out nice and mellow and turned bitter at the end. Love how they give you the percentage of caffeine. -The Kansaku was a nice mild tea that our server Nana explained must be served at a lower temperature to allow the hand rolled leaves to steep properly . So if you like piping hot tea, don't choose this. -They also have traditional whisked matcha if you want an extra boost of caffeine and antioxidants! Potent! Everything is beautifully served in hand crafted ceramic dishes and presented on wooden boards with a simple flower. You feel like you're in a cozy cafe in Japan. They are open till 10:00 on weekdays and till midnight on weekends Thursday - Saturday . Love that you can find a late night place to drink good quality tea, but they can add alcohol if you want too! Nana and Kai were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful servers. The owner was next door at his other business, the very popular Andria Ibushi so we did not get to meet him. Next time!

    Cute Japanese cafe in Kapahulu! They have a few seats with a minimum order of one item per person…read moreif you were to dine inside, and they have a bench outside. - They have a variety of gelato flavors, and I personally like their miso (which is almost like a nutty toffee ice cream) and their hojicha chocolate. They do samples for the gelato if you're indecisive! - I also tried their strawberry mochi, which is plain mochi with white bean paste and strawberry puree. The sauce is delicious and the mochi is dense. - Some friends tried their cocktails, which was heavy on the tea. If you're sensitive to caffeine I wouldn't recommend it though!
