I was locked out of my car without my phone and needed to borrow a phone to call a locksmith and a place to wait for them to arrive. The people at the tea temple were extremely kind and helped me out. And it was a wonderful calming place to spend an hour. read more

A laid back experience for those who want a 0% pretentious, chill atmosphere. Decor and atmosphere feel very intentional. Service is excellent, Darius is always there when I go, and takes time to explain things and never makes us feel rushed to order or to leave. A great space for creatives. One of the only spaces I've been in since moving to Marin that feels truly Queer (LGBTQIA+) friendly / safe. Come as you are, drink some great herbal teas and tinctures, and let the vibes flow. With all the uptight, sterile vibes at other spots in Marin, this place is a breath of fresh patchouli-scented air. Kidding, no strong smells here besides the tea. I love it. Feels like home! Any LA folks - if you're looking for an old-school-Topanga vibe in Marin, come to Wu Wei and you'll feel right at home. read more

If you like funky, hippie, vibes with a fantastic selection of unique teas, tonics, and light bite good for you eats, this is your spot! We've been to Wu Wei a handful of times now, and each time I feel like I could stay for hours longer. It's very casual...you can sit on the floor inside, or cozy up on the bench in back. Think pillows and blankets and birks, oh my! Decor is so eastern worldly. Staff is so chill. Fairfax is totally the hippie town of Marin, and Wu Wei is the epitome of a third place. Check out their calendar, they have all sorts of events there as well- storytelling nights and music, etc. Always a good time, always filly my zen bucket. read more

I came here with a friend who was visiting from out of town and overall the experience was really nice. The atmosphere was great--inside was a little crowded, so we decided to sit outside, and I'm glad we did. The backyard area had cozy pillows and covers on the seats, which made it feel really comfortable. The weather was beautiful that day, and it felt like the perfect spot to enjoy a drink. The drinks themselves were really good and reasonably priced, and we got them pretty quickly, which was a big plus. For the most part, everything was smooth and enjoyable. The only reason I'm leaving this review is because when we were leaving, one of the staff members (not our server) stopped us and borderline asked if we had paid--in front of a group of people. We had, of course, already paid, so it felt uncomfortable and a bit embarrassing. Other than that moment, the experience was great, but I do think that could be handled better in the future. read more

Marin County's best "third place." Great community feel. A server greets you as soon as you saunter in. They're so helpful and kind. I order one of many favorites--Cacao Golden Milk. Creamy and chocolate-y...so comforting. You can choose from a number of locations inside; today I chose the eclectic back patio. There are several outdoor sockets where you can charge your electronics. So many events--trivia night, music, and more. Very sweet place. read more

Wow! It literally is like a home away from home, good food, great drinks and super friendly staff and patrons with a nice patio. Conscious community at its best! read more

Delightfully wacky time travel to 1969. Sit on cushions sprawled all over the floor and take in the groovyness of it all. Old hippies still hanging around West Marin have to be helped up from their cushions but that's cool. Eclectic string plucking music for gray hairs by gray hairs. Bone broth and mysterious elixirs. Has a totally bodacious vibe. Bring an open mind and laptop. read more

Such a unique experience! They offer a wide variety of teas & elixirs. I tried the kratom drink the last time I was there. This place is super cozy, friendly and very attentive staff. I happened to go in when they had belly dancing performances and it was such a treat to watch! read more

Cool setup and excellent drinks! Really relished my smooth hot cocoa drink. Others in the party had the golden milk and the charcoal cleanse elixir which they liked as well. Today we went after lunch, next time we'll try their small plates as well. read more

Pretentious, gossipy, and rude sums up the people who work here. Cool menu, but overpriced. Weird vibe.

Whenever you need a brainstorm/think tank session or want to explore a new chill place to vibe, Wu Wei Tea Temple is the place for just that. The energy and environment was very welcoming and warm. All the beautiful art and communal seating made me feel excited and curious about life. The bathrooms were clean and the staff were nice. If I'm in the area again, I know I have a place here. read more

Very cool vibe. Giving me what Haight Ashbury may have been in the '70s. Pillows, low couches etc., colorful fabrics and art work on the walls. Great experience actually. Cool staff, great service and interesting teas. Good bites as well. First-timer. I'll go back if in the area! read more

Wow what an experience. It's all open seating and shared tables (lots of seating on the floor). They have the most unique drinks and elixirs. There is such a distinct vibe unlike anything I've ever experienced. It is homey, cozy, and almost like you've been transported to another place. Great for crafting, working, or hanging out read more

They have an awesome menu with healthy options. Flatbread with spinach and dips or a Mediterranean plate. The service is fast and very good. There is an indoor and closed off outdoor patio with a New Mexico type of vibe. Wooden slab tables with pillows and gentle music in the background. A refreshing change from the rock music being played in surrounding bars. read more

Awesome! Love the fashion sense of most of the clientele - retro and futuristic at the same time. There are so many toes running around the floor. Comfort first at this little tea temple. As a lifelong leftist, the frank discussions going on about the middle east were refreshing to hear. Inshallah! read more

Love this place. Wonderful live music , dreamy elixirs, and a very homey community vibe

This place is amazing. The decor of the inside and the back patio is so inviting, weather alone, and a couple, or with a group of friends. This is a "not to be missed experience". The menu is unique and huge... Full of choices for everybody. Whether you want to be courageous or you're wanting to play it safe... Whatever you order will deliver a "sense"-ual experience to your taste buds. read more

If you love tea, this is your place. If you love hippie vibes, this is your place. If you love good vibes, this is your place. The owner, Tracy is the nicest person I have ever met. It was such a great experience being able to meet her and having tea at her spot. It was also cool watching people give their sacrifices before drinking Kava. The tea was great! If you want more hot water, they refill your cup so you can re-steep. The service from the women working their was also very pleasing. Super chill and nice women. Thank you for the experience, Wu Wei. read more

My review is not so much about the food and service here, but about the procedure for signing up at the weekly open mic which occurs every Sunday around 7pm. I have been a regular open mic attendee here since it first opened, when it had other hosts (whom I happen to prefer more than the current open mic host, but I will not mention names). So I have been going for a long time to this open mic, though not every week. I do live locally and I am an establlished singer-songwriter. The only problem is the way the open mic hosts insists on texting him as a means to getting on the open mic list, and he is absolutely firm about not accepting any other signup method. Well, I told him many times that I don't have a cell phone so I can't text. He suggested asking someone else to text him for me, but I don't know anyone who would do that for me, and not even the staff was open to helping me text him because they're too busy (I did ask). He also wouldn't even let me come in person and sign up about an hour before the open mic. I mean he was clearly firm about the rule about texting to get on the list. I told him I didn't think that was very accommodating to a local songwriter who is also an older person, and that it seemed he was favoring getting his loyal friends on the list, who live far away, over a local Fairfax musician who is also established as a recording artist and performing songwriter. I felt very hurt by his elitist sign up rules for the open mic, and I left a review on the Wu Wei Facebook page about this. As soon as I did, this person messaged me on Facebook and said that he is no longer my friend (he "unfriended" me on Facebook) and I'm never invited back to "his" open mic. I was very hurt by that. Not only that, but I also realized someone (he?) blocked me as a follower to the Wu Wei Facebook page, basically inferring that I'm never invited to come back to Wu Wei at all! I guess "My Way or the Highway" is the Wu Wei (rhymes!), unfortunately. I'm very hurt by this and I think this open mic host is cruel and rigid. One can't help thinking he may also be ageist. I tried to get help from the owner about this issue (before he cut me off), but she seemed to be more supportive of this open mic host than me as a customer. I also don't have great history with the owner, either, because at one point (during an earlier time when she thought I was fantastic), she kept hugging me without my consent, and when I finally set boundaries and said I don't want to be hugged without consent, she froze me out, refused to book me for a gig there--once again proving "My way is the highway" at Wu Wei. read more

Let's me begin by saying I am incredibly saddened to write this review as I love the space, the concept, and the guests. The young woman who helped us with our drinks was also pleasant and seemingly kind. The management however, or whomever answers their phones, and the gentleman who helped my friend yesterday retrieve a sweater mistakenly left less than 14 hours earlier, were extremely rude in a way that left me and my friend jarred. It seemed so counter to the energy they are trying to cultivate here, and I was reminded of the pseudo SF hippie attitude, who will preach one thing and then act another. It's really unfortunate that is the case, because I would have returned again and again and recommended this spot, but now I find myself doing the opposite. read more

I have real love for this place! I've been going regularly for about 7 years. The drinks are very special with a wide variety and the staff is very friendly and happy. There are a ton of regulars who formed friendships, and newcomers are always welcome at events. The atmosphere is really acclectic and relaxed. If you're lucky enough to score one of Nora's treats, you will never forget it! The owner put a lot of love into the decorations and menu items. read more

THIS PLACE IS HEAVEN ON EARTH. The vibes inside are spectacular. Everyone is super friendly and peaceful. They have many places to get comfortable with a book, laptop or friends. (You can also pick up a book from their shelf!) AND THE MENU, it has so many wonderful things!! A lot of amazing tea and tea blends, elixirs, broth, kava and more. I will definitely make the trip back here, so worth it. read more

I was recently remembering my time in San Anselmo and how quaint it was. One of my highlights was visiting this tea house. My only regret is that I don't live closer. I'd recommend this spot to anyone who wants to eat from a menu that is interesting, well loved and nurtured, and delicious. There are so many tea options and quick bites that are so good for your body. The staff was kind and the owner even came to chat with me. I think she has a picture of me as well haha. They sometimes have entertainment which I unfortunately missed out on, so I'd keep an eye out for that. read more

Love this place. Best place to come and chill and hang out with a cup of tea or other herbal brews that may intrigue you. Nora's treat is always delicious also. Definitely worth a visit if you are around. Its a free for all seating though, so do keep that in mind. read more

Whoever the person was working when I went in with my service dog straight up told me in front of all the customers that no dogs were allowed. As much as I understand that each business has its rules, there's a way to treat clients and this woman was just plain rude. Not even sure it's legal to refuse a service dog but that's beyond the point. If you're working in the service industry learn how to be polite and treat a customer with respect. Don't be rude. read more

Came here in the afternoon and got the Cherry Charcoal Detox. It was refreshing and wasn't too sweet. The place itself has a cool, casual, hippy vibe. They have a bunch of other teas, elixirs etc. I would like to be back to try their kava! read more

I was horrified and still reeling from my encounter at this establishment. I am young but disabled with an eventually terminal illness. I have a dog that my doctor wrote a letter for and then was trained to go in public with me everywhere. When I approached the door a very curt older women said " No animals in here ever!" Making a shooing motion at me. I calmly tried to explain I may not look it but am in deed disabled and need him. She said " no excuses no animals in here ever." I started to educate her on the law as I was leaving and she raised her voice and demanded " I wasn't getting my way and had the audacity to question my disability. I know people don't love dogs especially big ones but I was more than willing to make concessions such as sitting in the back patio where no one is. I left humiliated by the scene and cried. Feeling helpless, hurt and attacked. Believing my need for a dog or not no one should be speaking to me like that and raising there voice. Very unfortunate situation. They need to brush up on the ADA laws. read more

Super cozy spot with delicious teas and food. We sampled the kava and kratom teas and they were both delicious. Had some other teas too and the staff was very helpful with refilling the teapots so got many servings from the same tea. We sat out in the back patio which was beautifully decorated. No heat lamps or fires but the provided blankets were so comfy and plenty warm! We also briefly met the owner who was incredibly warm and welcoming. read more

I accidentally discovered this magic gem and decided to stop by over the weekend. Wu Wei Tea Temple with zen and sufi like ambience is absolutely enchanting place - transported me back to the mountains. I went with their recommendations and ordered The Magician, The Pink Heart Beet elixirs as well as the Golden Chocolate drink. All the drinks were sooooo good. Also tried their Afghan flat bread - so yumm! Sipping elixir, reading from their books collection, it was a perfect way to unwind a busy day. I'll definitely be visiting this place in future. read more

Love this place. The ambiance and decor make for a cozy time to chill on the comfortable furniture.
