    Reviews With Photos - The Tea Nook

    Becky E.

    I had never been to tea before and had recently heard of this spot in downtown Lincoln. My friend and I share a birthday and like to celebrate together. I reached out to make a reservation a few months before our birthday. The day of, we were greeted with the most delightful table setting. Our hostess did the tea was so kind and helpful telling us about the tea offerings and the food that was being served. The Tea Nook IS a nook with only a few tables. It is such a charming spot. We loved everything about our experience and agreed we will be celebrating here again next year.

    Afternoon high tea

    I wanted to take my mom to her first high tea and I am so happy that it was at The Tea Nook! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and kindness by the host and seated at such a cutely decorated table. The interior of this place was so cute and it felt really cozy since there were only a few tables. We chose our teas from a list of so many options, and decided on the creme brûlée and the orange cinnamon teas. Both were so good as the creme brûlée was sweetened with a subtle caramel taste and the orange cinnamon reminded me of fall! The treats that came with the high tea included a chicken sandwich, ham and cheese on a cranberry bread, egg quiches, scones, strawberry cake with ricotta cream, fruits, chocolate chip cookies and dark chocolate bites. Both my heart and stomach were so full from this wonderful experience and I can't wait for next time!

    This review is regarding the absolutely lovely experience I had with a cake order at this business. We requested a coconut cake and the delivery exceeded our expectations!! All the guest raved how delicious it was and the coconut flavor was the perfect balance. If you are looking for a decadent cake, filled with flavors from a scratch kitchen and a reflection of a home baked cake... this is it!! They even added flowers and candles to the cake for our dinner party. We will continue to do our part and shop and dine local! Check out these Gem in Downtown Lincoln.

    Took my granddaughter's to this very cute high tea establishment. Wonderful tea, food and service. Would recommend highly!

    I took my daughter to the tea nook to celebrate her 6th birthday and if I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The owner Dena (I hope that's how her name is spelt) was such a lovely host. She made us feel so welcome and was very attentive. We didn't feel rushed and every detail was so thought out. The tea and food was all wonderful. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you so much!!

    Hello, we just reserved for a Sat in Sept. we are so looking forward to celebrating our friends 30th bday. Question, where do we park and what is a recommended spot?

    We recommend parking on 5th Street or F Street. There’s a public parking lot at the corner of 6th and F Street as well. Walk up the alley to 5th Street if you park there. Cute gift shops in downtown Lincoln are a nice bonus to a tea time visit.

Then on Valentine's Day, he surprised me and said he found this place. Initially it was fully booked and our reservation was for outside on a cold afternoon, but we showed up early and the staff was super cool and had a seat for us inside. I'm so glad we got to sit inside because I was admiring the lovely interior. They had fun couches, lovely chandeliers, and various flower arrangements. The day we went, it was fully booked, and we sort of got lost in the mix initially when the staff was explaining things, but once they figured out it was our first time the staff was super eager to explain things to us. We tried a couple different teas, enjoyed all the different sandwiches and deserts. Normally I only drink iced teas, and so they were super cool to provide me with a glass of ice so I could enjoy my teas. My favorite one was the first one they poured, which is the Obstinate Headstrong Girl. Overall we had enough time to only taste two teas, so we will for sure have to come back to try the rest. The owner was super friendly, I explained to her that normally I don't like scones but their scones were tasty and different. She explained a little about her technique, experiences in Europe and what separates theirs from all the rest I've tried. It was a fun experience, made for a very memorable Valentine's Day, and will for sure be back in the future to try more teas!

Their tea selection is outstanding--everything from Raspberry Mojito to creative freeze blends, all brewed just right and served in elegant glassware. I wish they sold their glassware, I so want to take it home. The fusion kitchen truly shines. My friend tried the sweet chili chicken bowl and was impressed by the perfect balance of spice, crunch of fresh vegetables, and to top it off, with Wasabi Ginger Dressing. Every bite showed thoughtful seasoning and high‑quality ingredients. Portions are generous without being overwhelming. Service was attentive and knowledgeable--staff were happy to make recommendations and answer questions. I also loved the cozy seating and modern, clean décor. Overall, Tea Bar and Fusion Kitchen is a delightful spot for tea lovers and foodies alike. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their inventive menu! I only ordered the Ginger tangerine after watching Jurassic World Rebirth next door as I was still full from movie popcorn and nachos. :)

I happened to see their post about it being their 7th anniversary, so I decided it was a good day to go. Because it's their anniversary, purchases came with a free t-shirt. There was plenty of parking. I got there about 10 minutes before they opened and joined the line. It moved steadily once they opened. I went with one of the specials- matcha with chai cream top. I'm a fan of matcha and chai, so why not both. I also decided to get a breakfast burrito (available only on Fridays and Saturdays). They have a lot of other drink and food options. Drinks include coffee, tea, lemonade. Food includes a variety of sandwiches and scones. The scones were tempting, but I'll have to try that next time! I waited outside for my drink, where there is a good amount of seating. My drink was more chai forward, but I enjoyed it overall. I kind of got used to places giving too much ice- that was not the case here. The burrito came with sausage, eggs, tater tots, cheese, and aioli on the side. It was solid and I especially enjoyed the aioli. Overall, it was worth waking up early to come here!

They have flavors that you don't normally see and somehow all of them turn out amazing. They're not super sweet and are pillowy and soft, plus they are huge! It's a small shop but there's seating space in a back patio area that was heated and very cozy. Service was great, no complaints and they try to do what they can given how many people line up to shop. Their chai latte and concentrate is bold and flavorful. It's pretty sweet so just keep that in mind but I was not expecting my chai latte to be so good given the light color of it.

I'd consider coming back. ---------- I came by around 9:30 AM on a Monday looking for a sweet drink after getting some steps in. It was quiet when I arrived, and there was plenty of space to sit and do some work. Signs along the way made it easy to find the entrance. The vibe inside was light, airy, and trendy. It felt like the kind of place where you could stay a while, especially with the free WiFi and relaxed atmosphere. I waited a while before ordering, but only because the barista was in the back washing something. They were the only person working, so I understood the delay. Once I placed my order, my berry chamomile bliss tea came out quickly. It had a nice fruity flavor and was refreshing. Overall, this is a solid coffee shop if you want to chill or get some work done. The service took a minute, but given the circumstances, I didn't mind. I'd be open to coming back.

I was surprised how there was almost no one here, but that can definitely make it perfect for those looking for a more quiet place to concentrate on what you're doing. There was one woman working, may have been the owner, who was kind, helpful and professional. I got a vanilla late and my husband got a tea - both tasted great. For food, I also ordered the caprese toast and my husband got the spicy chipotle panini. The toast was amazing! Again, there was only one person so it took a few minutes for the food but it was so worth it. Everything was freshly made. I saw her grab everything and cut a brand new tomato and mozzarella for my toast. I didn't taste my husband's panini but he quoted "this place has handcrafted artisan creations. Simple. Classy. Well done". So I think that means he really enjoyed it lol. Definitely give this place a try! Especially if you're a book worm like me.

While the drinks were good, I'd prefer anything other than the matcha and definitely wouldn't recommend it for someone wanting to try matcha for their first time. For how nice the place looks, you'd think they would have quality matcha, but it tastes like watered down, low grade matcha. The first time, I was hoping it was just a slow day and the matcha sat for a bit and watered down. My second time trying the matcha again confirmed it just wasn't the quality I prefer. The Ube taro on the other hand was good. The mushy Milo was also good, just a bit plain. The mango jungle was very good, their fruit drinks are definitely better than the milk teas and worth a try. Service was quick and although it looked like there was only one person there the second time I came, the drinks came out fairly quick.
