Tea Sutra Teahouse in Newcastle upon Tyne

The food, tea, staff and ambience can only be described as great. I love it. A massive variety of teas are displayed. The food is very appetising. The decor is interesting and comfortable.

This is a wonderful little place. It felt like travelling to a different country. Great decor, friendly service and an astonishing range of teas. We also had two of the vegan cakes which were delightful. It was super quiet when we were in, I hope this isn't as a result of covid, it would be such a shame if this little place suffered as its a right little gem. Bought some tea for my mother as a gift too. Came to just £17 for two cakes, two posh teas and a packet of loose leaf. Well worth it!! Can't recommend enough!

One of my favourite places in town. Cosy atmosphere with a great selection of teas. A little hippy haven in the middle of the city centre!

Me and my pals had a lovely chilled time in this quirky tea cafe. We had a shared pot of chai latte and some vegan cake - which were both lovely. The only thing was that the service was quite slow but it kind of went with the chilled vibe I guess.

Went here today for tea and cake. It was absolutely beautiful. The tea was subtle and refreshing but the cakes....amazing! Gluten free, vegan and refined sugar free but the taste....just delicious! Totally recommend.

Nice place, fantastic selection of tea. You can spend hours here with friends. The cake is also lovely but was served cold and would have been nicer warmed up for a few seconds. The place was a bit cold in December, they could invest in some heaters and then my tea would not have gone cold so quickly! Also the (shared) toilets were pretty gross. In desperate need of a good clean and an upgrade

I'd been meaning to visit Tea Sutra for a while now as I've heard such good things about this place.After finishing work early one day I decided to go before home. It has such a lovely chilled out vibe and everything is vegan 🌱 The tea menu is so extensive and all sound so good but I chose the yogi tea which was warming and spicy. It came in a little glass teapot with a timer so you know just how long to let it brew. I also ordered a piece of vanilla and chocolate cheesecake which was really delicious. There was also a soup of the day and freshly made salads available which I will definitely be back to try very soon

Been here many, many times. It's a great place to meet for a chat if your friends like tea! Haven't tried any of the food (yet) but I've had a different tea each time and always been super impressed. The staff is fantastic and the general atmosphere is super relaxing!

Tea, cakes and savoury food are always delicious here. I try to visit every time I'm in Newcastle. The staff are lovely and the atmosphere is welcoming. I can highly recommend the tea-tasting events, which are always informative.

I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is so chill and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The selection of teas and vegan food is so great and delicious. I love taking my family here but it is great for couples and friends too. Recommend it so much!!

We visited after finding this on Happy Cow and we were pleasantly surprised. so many tea options as well as a small vegan food menu. Was disappointed with the cake selection however it was later in the day when we visited. Friendly staff and lovely authentic vibe.

Sala da tè molto intima e tranquilla, il locale è accogliente, lo staff gentile . Abbiamo degustato un ottimo Lapsang Souchong e un profumatissimo Jasmine Dragon Pearls. Ottima la cucina con opzioni vegane e gluten free. Possibilità di acquistare il tè . Consigliatissimo

A good find while wandering around Newcastle. They have a large menu of different types of teas that are brewed to order and served with care. No coffee. No wifi.Take your time to enjoy the tea and the ambience. There is a small menu of home freshly produced items e.g. "soup of the day is served until it is gone" at lunchtime only (12-3pm). They also sell a range of loose teas and tea paraphenalia.

Wanted to try this place for a few years thought my wife would like it so took a chance on our wedding anniversary yeah brave man but paid of Was fantastic wife & I both loved it great soup and shared falafel pitta with two special teas from a carnivore love bed the vegi food and chai tea will definitely be back staff took the time and gave advice on massive choice of teas

I booked afternoon tea as a treat for Mothers day but on paying was charged extra for the 'tea'. Food was nice apart from the scones which were quite dry. Atmosphere here is nice, very peaceful and relaxing.

I visited with a friend for the first time on 4 March, and we were both really impressed. Fantastic choice of tea, I had Assam which was lovely, beautifully presented with a little timer! The meals looked lovely but we settled for chocolate orange cake which was really nice, and my friend had a turmeric scone - lovely! Nice ambience, relaxing and welcoming. We'll definitely return!

Really nice place, comfy seating area, friendly staff, an excellent choice of tea! The chai of the day is worth a try too! They have a really good vegan menu, we had the tofu pita bread which was delicious!

Lovely place, tasty vegan food and cakes and great range of tea. Everything is delicious. The place is also so relaxed and calm, love the vibes! And it is also great value, I'll recommend it.

The tea and atmosphere of the place is so very relaxing, I had the merigold tea and we had the hummus. Both were so very tasty.

calm surroundings with a choice of dining table, comfy chairs or a raised platform shoe-free area... although a limited menu, everything was fresh and delicious and vegan which was a plus for us. the cakes were delicious too! The choice of teas was huge.. I tried the rose and my husband had lemon ginger both were good..(we each had a sip of the other's!) We sat for ages and even got two gratis flasks of hot water to top up our teas!if you can manage the stairs it's well worth a visit.

Great relaxed place to enjoy a great cup of tea, great selection of tea and lovely cake well worth an hour out of your day

I called in after a visit to the dental hospital of all places and thoroughly enjoyed it. There’s a very extensive tea menu, several pages, a good explanation of each tea is given. I’m looking forward to trying a few more out because mine was delicious. The food menu is on blackboards on the wall. I had a stew with rice which was lovely. The place has a nice feel to it and isn’t a bit snooty. I’ll be back.

Spotted Tea Sutra from the top deck of a bus and was intrigued. Suggested it to a friend who has a vegan daughter and son-in-law so we tried it for lunch. Best carrot and lentil soup I have ever tasted with vegan bread (would never have guessed it was vegan) and the best ever hummus. Amazing selection of teas and so beautifully presented. I also couldn't resist the vegan 'cheesecake' - just about licked the plate.Lovely surroundings and great service - very friendly and welcoming.Highly recommended to all lovers of tea and good food!

Loved the whole atmosphere called in for lunch and it was delicious. Loved all the little teapots - what a lovely place

The atmosphere is so relaxed and the selection of tea is unbelievably good. My friend and myself had a gorgeous vegan wrap and both commented on how tasty the food is. Well worth a visit.

Everything is vegan which is amazing. They had lots of cakes on offer including refined sugar free, and lunch is fully vegan and offered between 12 and 3pm. They do a chai tea of the day made with non dairy milk and we shared a pot for 2 for £5.80. It was caradmon, nutmeg, mint and black pepper. Really complex flavours that grew on you. Cutest tea pot too!

Have an extensive selection of teas with cake and food options for all diet. It has a relaxing atmosphere were you dont feel rushed. It is quite small and tucked away making it abit gard to find.

Well worth going off the beaten track to find this delightful spot. Lovely selection of teas and the food was outstanding, fresh, great flavours and well prepared.

Booked this evening set meal while visiting for lunch earlier in the week. Fantastic value 4 course Thai themed set menu £15. Greeted warmly with hibiscus tea, a starter salad with beautifully dressed fresh edamame beans, crunchy red cabbage medley and leaves with fresh mango plus different dressings and tiny pancakes for diy wraps.Main was a coconut based broth with rice tagliatelle and veg, followed by a heavenly coconut Panna Cotta topped with mango purée. We then had a choice of teas to finish. Service impeccable as usual, lovely calm atmosphere just very sad that so few diners took up this super opportunity. I’d love to think that the owner would stage another event like this, so spread the word and bring your friends next time!

Great place to chill out and enjoy a wide selection of varied teas. Presentation is great with tea timer and strainer. Atmosphere is very relaxed and chilled out and definitely worth a visit if you are after somewhere a bit different for lunch, also has a nice selection of cakes.

This is a really lovely place to unwined. Great selection of teas! All brought out in unique teapots. Lovely atmosphere, comfy and warm. The staff were really nice and friendly, helpful!!

Visited here with a friend and ordered the Persian Tea (similar with spicy Chai tea) which cost me £2.9 for a teapot. Plus, the staff gladly provided us with a thermos with hot water for us to refill our empty teapots. I love the set up of the place but it may feel crampy because the tables are close to each other. Do some early before the lunch crowd comes in as there may be limited spaces. Overall I would come back again to try out their wide selection of teas!

What can I say other than I love this place! The tea (not that I've even tried close to half of them) is fantastic, the food is amazing!!! All the cakes are vegan which is music to my ears! The staff are so friendly and helpful. And patient when 45 minutes later you're still trying to decide which tea you want! For me, although all the above is great it's the atmosphere and the setting that tops this place off! The cosy floor seating areas and the decor and even the other customers just bring this amazing sense of calm and happiness which is hard to find in Newcastle! If you haven't been you need to check this place out!

The Tea Sutra Teahouse was a delight to discover after a few hours exploring Newcastle. If you like tea, we do, this is a must for anyone in need of a tranquil space and some wonderful teas. The selection of teas is extensive and takes you on a journey across all the great tea producers. We drank a white tea 'snow bud' and a green gunpowder tea both delicious and perfectly matching their beautifully written descriptions. The venue is also worth a mention, deep sofas with lovely fabrics and a warm and relaxing atmosphere. We ate two vegan cakes and just chilled and chatted for an hour or so out of the rain. Not drank a better tea so we will be back on our next trip to Newcastle.

Loved our visit here. Very cosy. Loved the selection of tea and loved the atmosphere. I liked the fact that that they maked matcha in the traditional way

Very limited food...but it's vegan and great quality. The teas are VERY well-presented though and there's a huge range. Lovely staff too.

Really relaxed. Very buddhist and zen. Fantastic tea selection. Don't come here if you don't like sitting on cushions or talking quietly.

I had this in mind as a good veggie place from my research ahead of our trip to Newcastle. In the end we visited between meal times and so didn't need to eat but the falafels we saw others tucking into looked and smelled really good!M and I tried 4 different teas between us, and enjoyed having a sofa so we could relax with the paper for a time. There were loads of teas on the menu; unfortunately I managed to pick two which weren't available which was a shame (so I can't give it 5/5). What we had was nice as was the lady who served us. We'd happily go back.

If you love tea you have to give Tea Sutra a visit when you are in Newcastle! Me and my boyfriend are just visiting for a couple of days (and finding it quite difficult to find vegan and gluten free food let me tell you that) but this place is a little haven in the city. I especially love that there is a cushion seating area where you have to remove your shoes. The staff are very friendly and helpful as well. Vegan/ gluten free cakes look good, maybe a little pricey but these things usually are.

A small hidden restaurant in which to meet friends and chill out. Tea; no coffee; no wifi; But what teas! A tremendous selection beautifully presented and freshly made with a timer to ensure maximum pleasure on imbibing. The Limeflower I had was most calming. I also indulged in a falafel and spinach wrap with garlic mayo and honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven!! I had never tasted anything so good! The staff were friendly yet unobtrusive but happy to provide information on the food and teas when asked. A most pleasurable and relaxing experience. Beautifully calm atmosphere; warm and friendly. I cant wait to go back.

A hidden gem upstairs in Newcastle, vegan food and no wifi; very pure. The vegan cakes and foods are very nice and different, the interior is beautiful and persian (:

Always on the look out for a nice place to slow down with a cup of tea. This is it. Bonus points for vegan cakes. Anywhere that does dairy free food gets bonus points. The choice of teas is amazing. The way they are served is perfect. Love this place.

This hidden gem in the Centre of Newcastle offers fantastic vegan and vegetarian food in a relaxed and comfortable setting. There is an area where you can kick of your shoes and relax on low seating with cushions and blankets. A lengthy variety of tea to choose from and the food was delicious. I will definitely go again when I visit Newcastle. Perfect.

I was an avid fan of Quilliams Brothers teahouse which is also superb and I'm obsessed with tea, I have a whole cupboard full of every type. What's so great about tea sutra? Well it has a lovely peaceful atmosphere, really relaxing, this is place you just want to chill and have tea or focus and have tea! The selection of tea is absolutely huge, so many in fact too many to choose from but that's a good thing :D the chai of the day is my favourite and Definately my guilty pleasure but I love a lot of their other tea <3 the desserts are pretty special too, they never fail to be scrumptious! Lovely staff, what more can I say about this gorgeous teahouse?

Great place to relax with very good tea, so much choice.I came here to drink tea .Also, they have good lunch.It is not far from Newcastle stadium . it is open from 11:00-20:00 weekdays and Sunday from 12:00-17:00 . It good place to place visit with friend or couple.

Un choix de thé incroyable, des plats sains végétaliens qui font vraiment plaisir et des gateaux (aussi végétaliens) à faire rêver. Une fois qu'on y est allé une fois, on ne s'en lasse plus!

I came here for lunch one Saturday and really enjoyed it. I'm not vegetarian, but it was one of the best lunches I've had recently. I had the falafel and hummus wrap, with some chai tea to drink - also a piece of chocolate and banana cake, which is really good! Recommended.

This place is lovely and peaceful with an amazing choice of tea and vegan cake! The vegan wraps look good too. I had an Assam tea and chocolate and banana cake and was blissfully content surrounded by elephants and Indian decor.

Great tea, so much choice, what a lovely place. It reminds me of trips that I have had to far away places, it is a place to find that "holiday" relaxation feeling.,....

We found this place almost by accident but was so pleased we did. Great choices of teas for connoisseurs and delicious food. Good veggie/vegan choices too. Well worth a visit!

This place is so lovely. The decor and environment are so pretty and relaxing the staff as really welcoming and polite. We couldn't find any vegan & gluten free food here so we didn't stay but it was a lovely place. Not somewhere to go if you want a choice of food and a proper meal, but it had a good selection of teas and some desserts that looked lovely. A great place to stop for a break from shopping or a chilled hour or so to sit somewhere comfy and have a cuppa!

Lovely calm and relaxing place to visit for lunch or tea. They have an excellent tea menu and freshly made food.

I really like this place. It has over 150 speciality teas, and the food is vegan/vegetarian (and tastes scrumptious)We had a variety of teas, and also had the wraps (falafel and a Mediterranean). They were very tasty. It is a very relaxed atmosphere and the staff are very friendly.We will definitely be returning for more.

I took my very picky and non vegan mam here today. She wrinkled her nose at the very idea of it. But when her food and tea arrived she loved it She had a huge bowl of pea and mint soup and I had the soup wrap and salad. Love their salads. Lovely with apple and pomegranate and a tasty dressing on it. And a very filling falafel wrap. Will definitely be back with her although I enjoy coming here all the time

What a little gem this place is!! A tea lover's dream :)I went here after seeing the tea sutra shop in Jesmond (unfortunately they don't serve food in the shop so I then went to the tea house). I'm a coffee drinker so automatically asked for a coffee when I went in. D'oh! They don't do coffee so I tried tea instead. They tea menu is huge! So much to choose from that I didn't know where to start! The guy who worked there recommended a floral tea so I tried that. It was nice! Subtly sweet and it came in a glass teapot with strainer. Also had a falafel wrap with salad. Yummy! There's also a range of gluten-free treats if you have a sweet tooth but I was too full to try any. They looked delicious though!The atmosphere in this place is what I liked the most. It's chilled and the decor reminds me of India or somewhere like that. You almost feel like you're in a different country, in a good way. Made me feel very nostalgic! Would definitely go back

Another great visit to Tea Sutra I loved the great choice of tea and the food was amazing. I love the wraps they offer, they were tasty and full of nice things.

They have fantastic selection of teas and home-made food. The soups are especially delicious! Perfect place for light lunch

My first trip was great, I had the special which was an aubergiene wrap with homemade vegan pesto which was really excited about! Everything was delicious and the staff were really friendly.

I visited Tea Sutra with my daughter and was overwhelmed with the choice of teas available. We sat and watched the world go by whilst our teas brewed. It was wonderful. There is a choice of vegetarian/vegan food available which we hope to sample soon. Not recommended for disabled people who are unable to climb stairs.

I escape to tea sutra when my working day s getting me down. The place is peaceful even if it is just of the main road and the staff are always great. Sitting waiting for your tea to brew is good for the soul

You will never run out of tea option unless you come everyday for a month or more. It's a relaxing place where you can stay for hours.The presentation of how they serve their tea is also part of the enjoyment. They have different kind of pots and cups, you never know which one will be "your cup of tea", but you sure will find it fascinating.

Love this little place! Has a huge variety of teas and amazing raw chocolate! Really recommend the butterscotch chocolates and the sencha guava tea!

I've visited here a few times and decided to treat my Mum to a meal. We both enjoyed trying a few different teas, and had a fresh houmous wrap each. It was a good size and was so delicious. The atmosphere is quiet and calming and perfect for a relaxing cup of tea away from the city hustle and bustle. Will definitely go again.

Regularly visit this place for the amazing range of teas they have to offer and the great vegan food they serve, but the best part is the lovely calming atmosphere is there. The staff are always friendly and helpful if you're unsure what to order and would recommend this place to anyone

Take the time to discover Tea Sutra and explore the huge range of teas. Thanks to their expertise and attention to detail you can enjoy specialist teas at their very best. There is a limited choice of food but the wraps are great or you could choose to have cake. All this in a quiet calm environment with great service. Will also appeal to non Vegetarian's. This is our second visit and it won't be our last

If you're stressed, you should come here and enjoy the calm atmosphere amazing range of tea and excellent and friendly service. I had the aged pu-erh and Tempeh salad. Both were better than I expected. Highly recommended

Enjoyed perusing the tea menu which held a world of adventure for the average tea drinker, I had a fruit tea infusion and my partner a rich exotic number, both served in quiant tea pots with extra hot water in a flask. We each had a light lunch, soup for me and falafel wraps for my other half, each dish was well presented and served and tasty. The vegan menu is small but I guess the small size of the cafe/kitchen must limit the amount and complexity of dishes they are able to offer. I went on to have a slice of cake which let things down a bit as it was dry and a bit stale. The cafe, as it's name would suggest, has an eastern theme, with traditional tables or low tables and floor seating with eastern type decor. The staff were very pleasnat and helpful. A little indie oasis of calm in Newcastle.

If you are a tea lover like I am , this is the place for you. However the food they serve is mostly vegan (lack of variety), also the vegan sweets they serve are not tasty (sometimes outdated).

A friend suggested Tea Sutra after class last week, what a treat! There are many teas and tea blends to choose from and they are all delicious. I believe most if not all of the fare is vegetarian. Don't be put off if you're a meat eater as the food is very good. I will definitely be returning soon.

Went here on recommendation. Had the sweet potato and chickpea curry and rose hip tea. Attention to detail spot on. Food arrived with rice plus green salad plus tomato salad plus pickle plus good sized portion of delicious curry. Tea arrived to complement meal. Absolutely beautiful. Would pay a fortune in most cities for food of this quality. Bill was 2.90 for tea plus 7.50 for curry. Amazing. Service was lovely too. Can't wait to go back.

Relaxed sfeertje . Echt een theehuis maar ook broodjes en soep op de kaart en zelfgemaakte chocola. Ik at een lekkere soep met hummus

What a lovely little find. We had a piece of each of the cakes (for research purposes!!) and they were all lovely. Great selections of teas and really cute venue. The staff were a delight. My only suggestion would be if they could help you with your tea selection, a bit of guidance with so many to pick from would have been the cherry on top.

Ik wist eerst even niet wat de naam in hield maar toen ik eenmaal de trap op was bleek het een zee van kalmte. Lekkere pompoensoep en gezonde hapjes en zelfgemaakte chocola. Leuk serviesgoed en lekker relaxed sfeertje

A lovely little tea shop with a great range of teas and delicious cakes. A nice spot for a little break over a nice brew. A new favourite place.

As soon as you walk through the door of this place there is a peaceful hush. Beautiful music is played at just the right level and the decor is soothing.Their menus for lunch and dinner are small but perfectly formed - just enough choice in my opinion, everything on the menu is vegetarian/vegan and having tried all of their dishes (yes, I am a regular here), I can highly recommend everything.Cakes and raw chocolates are also on sale and again I reckon anyone would enjoy them.The menu of tea which is the main attraction of this lovely place is extensive, with beautiful explanations of where the tea comes from, some teas even have their own special story and history.Oh - and the staff...lovely, friendly and polite.Very special place indeed.We here in Newcastle are so lucky.

So glad I visited this place. The whole atmosphere is amazing as soon as you walk into the room, there are various tables or a carpeted area with cushions you can sit on.The staff are very nice and friendly.Definitely going back when I next visit Newcastle, also, the chai tea was beautiful

This is a superb teahouse. Perfect for relaxing with your friends. Not only is there table seating, but also cushions. The food menu changes day to day, but its always healthy and vegan. The last time I was there, I had a lentil veggie curry with rice., followed by a raw vegan cake. I was amazed by the number of exotic teas on the drinks menu, some of which are rare and not easily found in shops. It's a unique place.

Este lugar es fantástico. La comida vegana más rica que probé, la lista de té es inagotable y el ambiente maravilloso. Para ir a relajarse y disfrutar una bella experiencia.

After being disappointed with another veggie cafe in the area (Super Natural), we came to Tea Sutra for dessert.The place looks great. The service was friendly and efficient. The staff seemed sincere. There was pleasant music and the cafe was nicely decorated.We were served Chai Tea in a really cool elephant tea pot. It tasted really good. We got plenty too. Even the cups were particularly nice.We got a slice of cake each and it was pleasant, if slightly dry. We saw other people's lunches come out and they looked really nice.It was really nice and we'll be coming back.

really wanted to go here after seeing it and thinking what an obscure location for a tea house lol. it's so serene and ambient inside... felt like i was in a different country! the deco, layout, colour scheme was just amazing. i'm not really a tea drinker but the menu BOOK was this thick with over 100 different types of tea lol the guy serving told us just to pick one at random... I went for one of their fruit iced tea but they were out of stock but he told me that they could ice any of the teas on the menu. i got sencha guava... wasn't a fan lol. got a chocolate and orange cake to go with it which was divine though. :) will definitely be going back to try their vegan menu! :D

I'm a regular at Tea Sutra. It's my favourite place to unwind whether it be a nice day or a rainy day, I always pop in for a good couple of hours to enjoy some fantastic tea (my favourite being any of the green teas) and often have lunch whether it be a healthy vegan dish from the menu or a slice of vegan cake. The staff are always very friendly and knowledgeable.

A really great place to have a tea; catch up with friends or just enjoy a quiet place for a bit.The japanese part; whit its pillows on the floor and where you take your shoes off is an great touch and really a good place to waste the rainy hours

Being vegetarian, I was eager to try this place out, unfortunately there were aspects of the visit that were dissapointing. Upon entering we were ignored for a few minutes, eventually we asked if we were able to sit down and the waitress shrugged and said "Yeah...". My partner then ordered a tea to which the waitress said in an annoyed tone "that will take me 20 minutes to make", to which my partner replied that he'd have a slice of cake in the mean time. However, the waitress forgot the order and the tea never materialised. I myself asked if they were serving lunch, to which the waitress did not reply and vaguely gestured at a blank board. Mean while, in the kitchen (which is separated by a wooden screen) the chef tutted and sighed as if this was a chore. All of the waitresses were unfriendly, arrogant hipsters. The service really was so poor, it's a shame I won't be going back because the food was very good.

Cool location, great range of teas and lovely atmosphere. Cake and tea both fantastic, can't wait for another visit, plenty more to try!

Beautiful tea spot in NCL. Wide range of teas. They provide a boiling water to refill the pot. There's oriental floor seating table as well. Loyalty card is available.

Tons of tea options and I chose the Chai of the day, which tasted fantastic! The girl was so nice and she wrote me the recipe for the Chai when I said I love the Chai so much. The atmosphere was so great! Visited another vegetarian place which was quite famous but this place was definitely better!

Sono stata da tea sutra per una merenda salata nel pomeriggio. Il posto è carino, con una piccola sala alla giapponese con i tatami dove poter stare senza scarpe. Il chai tea era davvero sopra le aspettative, fatto con latte di soia poiché vegan, zuccherato al punto giusto e spezie molto presenti. Fantastico! Per quanto riguarda il cibo ho ordinato un falafel wrap e la zuppa del giorno a base di funghi e servita con pane tostato e hummus. I falafel erano morbidi e quasi perfetti se non fosse stato per il sale praticamente assente. L'hummus eccellente ma la zuppa troppo monotona, di consistenza non cremosa e i funghi troppo presenti. In definitiva ho fatto fatica a finirla. A parte il neo del cibo, migliorabile, tea sutra rimane comunque un posto tranquillo e rilassante dove poter passare un pomeriggio in relax.

Visited here at the back end of 2014 and it was fabulous. We had just been on a tour of Asia and this brought us right back there. Option of floor or table sitting makes the cafe fitting for everyone. I had the chai latte which was gorgeous and my friend got a fruit tea which provided about 4 cups - brilliant value. Really lovely little spot.

Popped in here this afternoon. We had the tea of the day, Indian chai with ginger cardemen lemon grass. Amazing and refreshing. The wraps are to die for. Had to wait a little longer for food as it got bus. But dident mind as the place was so chilled out. Back again in a heartbeat

I've now been to this little treasure it a place a good few times, for catch up with girls, a light bite with the boyfriend and to sit and relax for a bit with my book. There is an expansive tea menu so don't be afraid to ask questions, the staff are brilliant and there's certainly no snobbery. We aren't all tea experts after all. The cake has always been delicious without being pretentious, and the meals are scrummy; just don't expect it in a hurry as they do take their time sorting the food which in my opinion is more than fine.

This place was recommended to me by my cousin, and I am so glad we went. Hidden in a back street at the top of town, I could happily spend hours there, reading a book or catching up with friends. We attended on a Saturday lunch time, and it was not full - there were plenty of seats around. We sat in a table in the corner, with a window out to the city. You get a menu with pages and pages and pages of teas - there must be over a hundred listed? All with lovely descriptions to help you choose. I went for one off a special board, a Vanilla Chai, and it was lovely. It was such a taste experience! And the best part is, it is served in a beautiful elephant teapot! It took all of my reserve not to take it home with me!We also had food, we chose a wrap each - Neither myself, nor my partner are vegetarian, but by god, that wrap was the tastiest thing I have eaten in ages. It was delicious. It had roasted veg and spinach and squash in it - omg - amazing. Mmm mmm. I would go back next time I am visiting Newcastle, without doubt.

Small food menu, every morsel utterly delicious. Vast tea menu, trying tastes from my friends' delightful cups and glasses is a sensation too good for the taste buds to miss.Superb smiling service.The whole thing only slightly marred by the steep limb upstairs. Definitely not do-able if you have mobility issues. That's the only drawback.

I'm becoming something of a regular at Tea Sutra, which considering that I rarely go into Newcastle these days really is quite something. There's a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the smells hit you as you walk in the door, absolutely beautiful. There's a cushioned area in one corner where you can sit on the floor and use tiny tables, which is where I mostly sit.The range of teas is fantastic, I have a few favourites including ginger and lemongrass green tea and chilli cherry rooibos. You can buy bags of tea to take home too, and they're absolutely delicious, full of flavour. Tea is served in one of their range of quirky teapots, and comes with a sand timer which tells you when it's ready. They also provide flasks of hot water on request to refill your pot. If I have the option I generally always prefer to drink tea from a big white mug, but the quirky range of cups at Tea Sutra is actually one of my favourite things about it, and I've even been known to drink out of orange cups there and enjoy it!! The range of soups and wraps on offer is displayed on boards in the shop. I usually come in for tea, but have had food a couple of times, and it's delicious (although all vegetarian, even a meat lover like me can appreciate it), and the cakes are gorgeous! Maybe one to avoid if you're looking for coffee, as the name suggests, it's all tea here, and if you prefer cold drinks then the range is limited, but if you love tea, then this is a must visit!

This is a very peaceful, atmospheric place which smells great as soon as you walk in. There was an amazing range of teas, we tried two each. The wraps were excellent, very tasty and finished off with their raw chocolates, wow! Service was prompt, polite and thoughtful.

I've been here loads of times and usually love it but today was frustrating. We arrived a little afrer opening at noon and there was one other couple in the cafe. We took the menus and I asked what the chai of the day and wraps were. The chai of the day wasn't ready and we were told it would be at least 40 minutes The waitress also didn't know what food would be available they'd stopped doing the lovely onion bagi wraps and no food was ready to order yet. I ordered a mixed berry fruit tea served iced and my friend something she hadn't tried before which was quite nice. As soon as the boards were turned over with the food choices I ordered a falafel wrap and asked if it could have chutney with it. The waitress wasn't sure and said she'd find out (apparently not as it didn't have any when it came). We waited 40 minutes for food which seemed excessive. Though the food as always was nice. The person at the next table tried to order iced tea after admiring mine but they'd run out of ice (30mins after opening).By the time we'd left about 1:15 there was still no chai tea available.I hope this is just a one off because I love this place. It's relaxed tasty and the decor is warm and cosy. It's not cheap at £2.80-3.50 a pot of tea and £5 for a veggie wrap but it's usually worth it. I guess I can't pop in for a quick lunch if this is going to be the way of things to come.

I just love absolutely everything about this place, the decor, the special floor seats, the chilled out staff, the elephant teapots, gorgeous chai and cakes... proper little gem of a place. cant recommend enough.

This a really great place and one of it's kind in Newcastle! The atmosphere is great with fantastic asian/Moroccan decor that just makes you feel relaxed.The tea selection is great, well priced and the presented amazingly! Hardly wanted to drink it, it was that pretty! Also the staff supply you with plenty of hot water for top ups so you can get the most out of one pot!The food is amazing! I'm not even veggie/vegan but I enjoy the odd veggie meal and the food here does not disappoint, so full of colour and flavour!A must visit if you're in newcastle and fancy a cuppa.

loved the tea selection however we visited at 12noon and the daily specials weren't ready. We had soup, but the waitress got the order muddled up, food was still nice.

I went there yesterday with two friends for the first but surely not the last time: 120 different varieties of tea, 3 vegan wraps (come with corn chips & a decent-sized, very varied & very fresh salad), good helping of substantial soup with home-made bread & hummus, (+ other savouries that I can’t remember), large selection of vegan cakes. No background music, comfy chairs & sofas – very relaxed atmosphere.In quiet but central side street; up quite narrow stairs: code needed for toilet, which is half-way down the stairs & adequate but not up to the standard of the rest of the place.

Visited on a recommendation from a friend. Place is beautiful inside and was greeted by a lovely lady who explained the menu to us. I didn't know that it was vegan before I went however the flavour we had for our cake was amazing and would recommend trying it.There are so many teas to choose from and reasonably priced. If you are having a busy day take 20 mins out and have a brew you will leave a better person.
