The Mad Herbalist is a hidden gem tucked in Clarksville. When you arrive, it's calming amongst the trees. The ambiance is amazing whether you're inside our outside (if it's not too cold). For your first time there, the server gives your instructions on how to order teas from the money whether it's to try three teas in a flight or from their pitchers. I've always had great servers whenever I've been here. I'm a tea fan so the ginger chai and jasmine honeysuckle teas are my go to, hot or iced. The buratta and cheese plate is always a must when I go. The buratta cheese with a seasonal fruit, jam and cashews are a perfect app to share with the table. I've tried the avocado drip sandwich and the brisket sandwich and I can't decide, which one I like more. Also, their potato casserole is so good...I could eat a huge bowl of it. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Drive by this place and had to try it as a tea enthusiast. The food was delicious and the tea was perfectly blended. They had a selection on the table to smell before you choose and my 3yr old suggests the Nutella and bread plate. read more

The Mad Herbalist - Brisket grilled cheese and Golden Tonic Tea - Tea Rooms Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Always a great experience! I love the prickly pear tea. Their burrata cheese with toast is so yummy!!! Sitting outside is my favorite.

For a place specializing in Tea the food was great. The restaurant is in an old 2 story log cabin that is works well with the theme. We had a party of six and the service was great. We ordered the smoked brisket sandwich with soup, 3 grilled cheese with salad and chips, brie cheese dish, and a deconstructed PB&J. They were all so delicious. Between all of us we tried all the teas that we surprisingly really really good. Give this place a try. read more

The perfect Sunday funday!! We came by for brunch, and had the best time. My friend and i each got a flight of tea and shared a tier of 3 dishes. My favorite was the berry tea and huevos rancheros. The service was very kind, friendly, and attentive. What really stands out here is the ambiance. It feels like a woodland fairy village. Tucked in the woods, it is quite serene and peaceful. 10/10 recommend! read more

The Mad Herbalist - Tea Rooms Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

What an awesome Gem in Clarksville!! If you are a tea fan this is an absolute must, also if your vegan it's one of the few places in town with some options. Those not vegan I was told by family they loved the food non vegan food too. I had the jackfruit gyro and my friend had the best hummus. Both were really good. The sparkling tea (all of them) are amazing! Great outdoor seating and is dog friendly (outside). Inside is cozy and homey. Staff was great as well. Highly recommend read more

The Mad Herbalist - Sparkling tea - Tea Rooms Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

5/5 for setting, ambiance. Cool old cabin, shady trees over a nice patio, hanging lights, looks nice. 4/5 for service. Timely and friendly, not necessarily anticipatory, but decent. 2/5 for food. Unfortunately, the brunch fare was not balanced (overly sweet on everything), not quality (eggs were like my army dfac texture), and obviously not sourced for quality. The prices were lower, so that's why it's a 2 instead of a 1. The tea was good. Go for the tea and the atmosphere. read more

I was excited to try this place since I was finally over there, during the Natural Living Fair. I don't see where the comments saying the food is pricey are warranted it felt like a pretty large grilled cheese sourdough and lots of what seemed like fresh made perfectly seasoned kettle chips for 10 dollars. The cheese was specialty also not just cheap cheese. The tea flight was reasonable also 8 dollars for 3 samplers and they're not in tiny shot glasses like an alcohol flight. I felt that was also reasonable. I feel like maybe the workers should check on the tables a little more often but other than that everything was fine. I really like the berry tea. Update: Went again the next day if the Natural Living Fair and got to try the brunch menu. The French toast was absolutely amazing. They got the egg drop sandwich and they loved theirs as well! read more

The ambience and food was perfection as always. I really wanted to give this place a five star rating again yet I had to dock a star off due to some sudden changes in the Mad Herbalist. Service was satisfactory yet there was some loss. Whenever I went to the Mad Herbalist and ordered a flight of teas, it was superlative and served with raw sugar crystals, honey, and sugar. Not anymore, there were no stirring sticks or spoons provided with my hot tea like before. They gave simple sugar syrup for sweetener and a small knife-like utensil when asked for a spoon or stirrer for our tea. The server was nice, always asking if we needed something, and went out of her way to serve me a sample of one tea. Yet she charged me $7.50 for a flight of hot tea instead of the $6 listed on the menu. I guess I was charged $1.50 for a sample. We had the best chicken sandwich but it cost $19 for the extra chicken salad to make a decent sandwich. It was suggested that we do that if we wanted regular sandwich bread instead of the croissant bread along with enough chicken salad to make a decent sandwich. We paid an extra $9.50 for that, yet it was delicious. $19 for a simple sandwich with an adequate chicken salad amount seems pricey though. We were seated by a very talkative bunch of people. They were polite and it was fine with me. Yet, my companion was not happy. It was his first experience there and it was not like all the wonderful peaceful quiet experiences I had there in the past. We should have come when it was quiet for him. Despite the minor inconveniences and changes, we did not complain and paid $64 included a 20% tip for one flight of hot tea (excellent), a small 16 ounces tea (so so), an appetizer (good), a small soup (satisfactory), and an excellent yet pricey chicken salad sandwich with chips. It was more expensive than my first lunch (one of the best meals and service I ever had) at the Mad Herbalist with another companion - the price of two full exotic entrees, appetizer, and two desserts with one flight of tea & water was $20 less (including tip). I understand that change happens all the time yet I cannot give a five star rating for an experience that was not as spectacular as past experiences in the Mad Herbalist. If we come back, a less expensive yet more filling lunch menu item will be entertained, a more quiet time selected for lunch, and bringing a spoon with packets of honey & sugar for the tea will be a must. read more

A magical place in Clarksville. Beautiful, cool and historic location and really friendly service.

This spot feels like escaping reality for me. I love the outdoor ambiance. I ordered the dip sandwich and it was yummy

The food was amazing and what a gorgeous location! It was raining when we went and I felt like I was in the Twilight movie. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive and we can't wait to come back and try more drinks! read more

This place was very cute and picturesque! It felt cozy and peaceful. The tea options were tubes on the table. Menu is simple and to the point. We ordered 3, 16oz teas; Jasmine honeysuckle, coconut brew and sweet cinders. You get a tea cup and carafe with petals in your cup! Each had its own unique taste. We also tried the artichoke dip! It was so tasty we had two! Then vegetarian trio which was fresh and hummus was smooth. We tried both desserts; stacked brownie and winter berry cobbler. Separate or together.. delicious!! Overall, I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town! Go check it out ;) read more

We came because the girls at Beech Haven Winery referred us. Excellent hideaway location near the woods. An old charming wood home turned into a restaurant. We tried to get there early but you have to get there by 1015 to be first in line before they open or by 1030 to be waiting for 45 minutes before you are seated. You can get a drink at the bar and wait upstairs on the couches. It's a fun place. Stick around and enjoy the ambiance. The food comes out fresh and hot and quick. We had a wonderful time and will be back next time we're in town. We loved the egg rolls and beet hummus. read more

Don't let the name fool you. It took me years to try this because of the name. I was fooled and thought it was all herbs. Today I came for the tea and stayed for the charcuterie and waffle. Go on Sunday and they also have cocktails. Well worth the stop. Don't let the name fool you. read more

This place is super awesome. A great place for the experience and the food. It's such a fun thing to do with girl friends, family, or even a date. We got a little bit of everything, as the pictures show. The charcuterie board was a bit overpriced. However, everything else is amazing! You can clearly tell everything is made from scratch, and the cooks really take their time for the quality. The workers are super nice and the food is so good. What's also really cool is that you can buy the tea and take home. Which is something to heavily consider for the tea drinkers. Definitely recommend. read more

Great place that allows you to come in and have a great time with friends. * The downstairs area is beautiful for eating food with family and enjoying the great style they offer. * The upstairs has 2 bathrooms with women products and they smell amazing! Extra seating area, laying beds, and multiple TVs. * The best things about this place is that they have tea from "High Garden" which closed down in Nashville. Must try!

Such a cute spot with a nice range of teas. I had a flight of teas and enjoyed each, but the frosted flora tea was my favorite. I love that you can mix and match your flight of teas; iced, hot, and sparkling. I appreciate that they have vegan food options. I ordered the vegan grilled cheese sandwich; I didn't enjoy it, so next time I will try another food item. The kitchen did notify me that the chips that come with the grilled cheese are fried in oil with meat, so they give you the option to replace it with fruit. Next time, I will go on a weekend to try their teamosas. (^_^) read more

I have never received bad service or had a complaint about this establishment. That being said, I love coming here every now and than for brunch. We were the third ones in the door this morning right around opening time and the service was fast and friendly. We had a few different options for apps and some brunch. Drinks wise they offer very limited beer(paired with tea), teamosas, hot tea, and mimosas. As you can see from the pics everything looked great and tasted even better! Def a must try if visiting the area, looking for a quick bite, or just looking for a nice place to sip some nice tea! read more

We were looking forward to getting out of the house today. Decided to try "The Mad Herbalist". Adorably quaint little Tea cafe. We tried our tea iced but you can also have it served hot. If you want to try more then one tea you c as n order a flight. They also have teamosas. Tea isn't s they serve. Great food also. We had hummus, kale egg rolls and a rueben sandwich served with home made potato chips. When it warms up they have out door seating as well. Can't wait to go back. read more

Super quaint inside, loved all the teas as well as food presentation and taste! Definitely looking forward to our next brunch!

We came to this restaurant based on recommendation. When we first pulled up it had such a cool location against the trees. The patio was shaded and comfortable and our server was very attentive. When you sit down they bring out test tubes of tea to smell to decide what you would like to drink. It was a very hard choice. I got the veggie platter with fresh beet hummus and the chips and chive dip that is house made. I loved all of my teas I asked the waitress Kim to pick her favorites and how they are prepared they come sparkling hot or cold I tried one of each and loved them all for different reasons. If you love lilac or lavender you have got to try their lavender tea. My new favorite restaurant in Tennessee. read more

Excellent food and great atmosphere. We love the specialized and rotating menu. The drinks are very good. 4 star only because of portion size. However, the prices are not bad so we just order a lot of different plates. If you bring big guys who like to eat... they'll probably not be too thrilled. read more

Hidden gem of clarksville. Well, it was until they got a Main Street sign. I love how secluded it is, even though it's at a close proximity to the Main Street. The ambiance of the place is perfect. It's super relaxing and welcoming. It's def a place where you can lose track of time and stay a while. I love the outdoor seating options. Seriously, it's just dreamy. Next comes food and drinks. Wow. I can't complain. I love it all. I love that the tiers change monthly for a change. The handcrafted flavors in the food and drinks are to die for. The upstairs is gray. So cozy and perfect for any season. I can't wait to cozy up on the couch in the fall with a good drink. Save yourself and come on in. You won't regret it. read more

As they say, you are only as good as your last cup of coffee! Well naturally they do not serve coffee here, but for the lame prepared cold food we dined on you would be MAD to eat here. Staff excellent and tea libations very tasty, well presented, but the adventure sure will not continue here. An unfortunate first visit, food ball dropped huge! Some basic food preparation teaching and temperature of food service would go a long way here. Our vote for brunch - NOT, carry on read more

Peaceful environment and soothing decor. Food was good, but I especially liked the tea. I believe the food menu changes, will be coming back to try a variation of tea. If you are a tea lover, then this will be a cool place to try different t flavors and combinations. read more

Always always always good food. A unique take on classic dishes that most certainly never disappoint. Although the food is incredible, their rotating selection of unique teas is the main focus of this fantasy-like cafe type "restaurant". They offer an alternate take on mimosas, which they refer to as "teamosas", a mix of choice teas with champagne. This cozy place is great for parties, and even offers reservations for parties of 6 or more. I am a picky eater myself, but I have never been disappointed by any dish I've ordered, despite any predispositions I have towards some ingredients. This is a fantastic, little known tea shop that is a must try for any locals or tourists. read more

Get there 10 mins before opening! Limiting parking & line starts. I've been here several times with my friends & family. Tell the server everything you want from the menu FIRST thing. If you want the charcuterie board, order it 5-10 min after opening or you can't get it. We had a sever that was horrible. First time having bad experience. She didn't ask for our order until 30 min after we sat! So the charcuterie board was gone. I was about to ask for a server because ALL 3 tables after 15 min opening got their food and drinks. What's up with this?! So we sat here for an HR with no food. Server sucked. Had to ask for extra silver ware. Didn't have enough glasses for water. Disregarded what we needed for our drink. Came back an hour & 15 min to fix the drink. Claimed we could get a FREE tea for waiting. Sad. read more

Absolutely love the Mad Herbalist! My husband and I go for the tea flights and tiers du jour mostly, and the food and tea are really tasty. Love the outdoor "hidden" gem, and the home-y, nature-y decor inside. We make the drive from Murfreesboro, and love taking visitors there for a unique experience! The vanilla tea is our favorite to bring home. Would recommend most highly for anyone who loves tea! They also do tea-mosas, and hot or cold tea too. read more

Although I don't want to share this place with anyone, it's too great to keep a secret. I always leave a place saying, "that was good, but it's no L.A." This is the only place in town that I feel is better than L.A. Whoever decorates is a creative genius & upstairs feel like you're in a treehouse. Bring a date, strategize with a co-worker (or solo), or get out of the house )even with kids. I think this is my second review, but the change the menu & decor so I had to test the upstairs. This place is vegetarian & vegan friendly too. I'm going to keep going here, but I promise this is my last review. read more

This place is a hidden gem! We were sitting at the light and saw the small sign. I thought it was a tea store and I'm down for tea, anytime!! My wife and I love the concept of the old log cabin and there's a good history for it as well. The ambiance is awesome for studying, quiet time, or a quiet chat with friends. The outdoor seating is also great for sitting under the trees in the open air. Although it's close to the road it's super quiet. I loved the flight of tea sampler and the bread and beer cheese. If it wasn't on the other side of town for us we would be regulars. I look forward to coming back. read more

Wow. Color me impressed. If you are a tea drinker, you will really like this place. Actually, even if you're not I'd encourage you to go and check it out. Hubby went with me to their Grand Opening today and he really enjoyed himself. There's an upstairs and downstairs and the Owner was very kind in giving us a tour, explaining her overall concept for the upstairs to be where people can go and have a quiet study or reading place. So there's Free WiFi. I saw cucumber water as an offering and there is also a small group room that seats around 16 people for meetings too. I can see small groups having a great get together sipping tea and munching on the food tiers they offer while they make awesome group decisions. We tried the tea trio and I fell in LOVE with the Summer solstice; so much so that I begged hubby to dump out his ever present to go Water container and they allowed me to buy 14 oz of it to go. I have no thyroid and since giving up coffee in February I've relied on HiCaf products from amazon which is nowhere near enough Kick to get my day started. This was. It may look like green runny swamp water in the cup but it's amazing. I guess it has Matcha in it which I've never even liked - til now. So good! The other favorite of mine was the Kyoto Chai. It's paired with Plumbline coffee, another local yummy place i frequented when i used to be a coffee addict. Hubby really enjoyed the DragonSpice and Pear Nectar. We had to buy some of the sugar and honey offered too. People can also create products here too. I'm reading the little menu it appears the creations would take approx. 45 minutes but I can again see people maybe getting together in a group and having fun doing this together. There's an outside patio that appears to be child and dog friendly. Not sure if it's a place I would take the grandkids to, since it's more of a Zen-like atmosphere and my grandson would make it totally the opposite of Zen in like 2.2 seconds. But definitely could see myself grabbing some yummy tea to go and staying with my older kids or a friend or coworker to relax and sip tea (hot, cold or sparkling). A welcome addition to Clarksville for sure. Hours look to be 11-7 for now but she seems to be a bit flexible on that so I would not be surprised to see those change as she gets more popular. I hope so because the hours I work would make this a weekend only type adventure but even just one time a week would be worth it for the Summer solstice. read more

Visit The Mad Herbalist as soon as you can. It is a perfect environment - lighting, space, aroma, vibe. You can see how much heart and soul has gone into this business. The attention to detail is evident and appreciated. The tea is INCREDIBLE. Unique and delicious blends that you cannot find anywhere else in Clarksville or surrounding areas. The staff was attentive, thorough, and courteous. The food was on point - seasonal flavors and adventurous pairings. You get A LOT of tea. If you don't think you will finish all of your tea, they encourage you to bring a thermos or your own "to-go" cup. I honestly could have stayed there all day. Worth every penny I spent. read more
