I cannot believe it took me this long to visit this Columbus Park neighborhood gem! You walk in to a beautiful space that is obviously intentionally designed. The staff provided great recommendations and was patient with us as we made our decisions. I enjoyed the Toasted Sticky Rice drink - toasted upon ordering. It was such a nice flavor! I also ordered the ube cake. It had a a great texture, a beautiful color, and wasn't too sweet (my preference!). I cannot wait to come back soon to try other items on the menu. There are so many great choices!

Plenty of seating and tables

It's a hot weekend day in KC. It's 2pm and I want something refreshing but not coffee. Tian Tea House in Columbus Park is the answer. It's a gorgeous minimalist and calm place to chill, have a beverage and Zen out or have a quiet conversation with a friend. I tried two different iced drinks, The Jasmine Rose Tea and the Lychee Soba Cha. Not sweet! I'll be back, especially to try more of the food and hot drink menu. I'm sure cocktails will be fun to try as well!

Competition grade matcha with oat milk and black sesame cream, hojicha latte

Cute new tea shop that had just opened up when we visited. Love the decor. There is a cloth covering over the door that you push aside to walk in. The interior was a bit dark and moody, but with natural lighting from big windows. It felt calming and peaceful. Good place to get some work done while enjoying a nice tea and pastry. The menu was small but had what we were looking for. The workers were very welcoming and warm, they helped to explain the menu to customers. We ordered the competition grade matcha with oat milk and black sesame cream (hot), and a hojicha latte (iced). Service was fast and both were delicious. The matcha was smooth and strong. The oat milk and black sesame balanced the flavor and added a subtle sweetness and a creamy nutty flavor. The hojicha was refreshing. You can tell that they use high quality ingredients for their teas. We wanted to get a pastry, but their selection was small and we didn't see any unique flavors that day. They did serve kimbap, kimbap which sounds like a great bite if we were craving something savory and filling. Would definitely stop by again. Also, they had some cute trinkets and merch. We also got a cute spinning ring for fun!

We tried the egg sandwich (kids loved it). It's not made in-house, but they were told to pass our compliments to the chef. Drinks on deck: chrysanthemum lemonade, green tea (Long Jing) , lumyai coconut , toasty rice pudding tea , plus a cheesecake brownie because... balance . Admittedly, the kids weren't feeling most of the drinks, but my daughter loved the Long Jing, while I loved every single one except that one. Vibes were good and next time I'm sitting at the bar so I can watch them work their magic.

Gimbap and black sesame cookie. Brown sugar milk tea with sesame cold foam.

Lovely experience and perfect spot to spend hours chatting with a friend. Service was exceptional with explanation of menu and opportunity to sample. One sad note: there's no milk option except oat. Not my favorite and definitely played into flavor of things.

Merch

First of all they were open during the great snow storm and had special hours because of it. Thankful for social media to give us the updates. We couldn't find many places open during this time. We love to support small business especially women and minority owned. I'm sorry I don't remember her name but she was so awesome and I love when they come and talk to you. There were a couple others in the shop. Very cute and small place. There was merch. Moody vibes. They are opening an evening bar at the same location. Tried the tea jelly and few other drinks. I thought my drink would be too sweet because of the most sugar stars (indicated on menu) but it wasn't at all. Very tasty. Excellent experience. Watching the snow come down the big windows was such a scene

Quaint tea house by day, and cocktail lounge by night. We came in for the tea service, nice menu without being overwhelming. They offer traditional Chinese teas, bonus you get to choose your own teacup to drink from. They have limited food items menu, freshly baked which were delicious. A quiet spot that is fun to go to. Will have to come back for the cocktails next time (not sure if they have started this part yet, but know it's coming)!

The serene environment makes Tian Tea the most perfect place to meet a friend or just hang out. I love the tea and they have some snacky food too that is amazing. The menu is big and the staff is great at making recommendations. This has become a top favorite spot for me!

Great place with a relaxing vibe and really good drinks. Everything tastes fresh, and the staff is always friendly. Definitely one of my favorite spots to stop by!

Tea jelly, iced thai tea with black sesame syrup

Incredible food, incredible service, and a lovely environment. The most peaceful place to sit and read a book, talk to a friend, or just exist for a little bit. The owners are wonderful, and Tian hosts some of the best events.

Sesame cookie

Went there with friends and family. Giving the stars as this way really has more to do with how much I am into tea as the only and center piece in many Asian cultures rather than a much toned down element, muddled or fancily said fusion-ed. This is a cute place, and the staff were nice. It is just too light to really taste the tea tea for me.

My friend and I got coffee and pastries here several times during our visit. The service was great…read moreand the coffee and pastries were even better. My usual order - a 16oz. vanilla latte and pan au chocolate - was amazing, and we plan on coming here again the next time we are in town.

Visited this place twice while staying in downtown KC. I was pleasantly surprised that they had…read moresome solid gf options- I tried the chocolate banana muffin (gf) one morning, which was delicious + not overly sweet, imo. I also got a breakfast burrito (not gf) the second morning, which was delicious + had great heat. The coffee here was also amazing, although I opted for very basic oat milk lattes each morning. My husband got a maple tahini latte one morning + a smoked something or other on the other morning we went. My husband + son got croissants both mornings and loved them, but they also had some seriously cute rainbow donuts on display, which I was a bit shocked that my five year old passed by. The baristas were all very friendly and helpful, which I appreciated + the space was great with an open kitchen concept/plenty of seating. This seems like a great spot to work from, although they also had a wonderful (windy) rooftop to sit on also.. that looked like it had a fireplace for chillier days- so cozy. Best coffee in KC.

I visited Hitide for the first time today and had a lovely experience. The workers were incredibly…read morenice and even wished me a good day by my name on my way out (what a great memory)! The space is very bright and cute - great for a visit to read or doodle (I did a little doodling of the shop during my visit). They even have a little shop area with some super cute and unique KC gear. I had a hot hazelnut latte and it was just okay, the flavor was pretty bland in my opinion and it was automatically served in a to go cup which bums me out. I like to sit and enjoy my coffee right there and love a good hot mug, it's part of the visit experience to me. The cute shop and incredible staff made my visit itself great overall, but the coffee could be leveled up a bit. Nonetheless, I would visit again :)

So the place itself was very cool and I loved the decor and ambience! However, the wait was a lot…read morelonger than I normally experience grabbing a coffee. I do appreciate the good quality though and thankfully had some time to kill. It isn't a place I would go if I was in a rush, but it great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. There wasn't a line when I went in, but there were quite a bit of people seated around. I got an iced hazelnut oat latte that tasted great. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely bring my laptop and hang out.
