Calabash Tea Bar & Cafe

Unique neighborhood tea shop with so much more to offer. I had a delicious Matcha Maca and a Spinach pastry so good, just the right amount of heat. Loved the variety of bagged teas and accessories. Can’t wait to try more. Nice seating area outside.

Calabash is the best! When you come to Calabash, the team will ask you how you’re feeling to help direct you to a healing drink. They also have TONS of goodies to purchase for use at home, too. Their outdoor patio is a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

Great reprieve from the hustle and bustle. Wonderful place for small kids AND fur babies- hard feat in a small space. Delicious, affordable, healthy and staff is beyond helpful and efficient. Great experience!!!!

At Calabash Tea & Tonic each customer is given a warm reception. Recommendations for both food and beverage are expertly offered upon request based upon what you seek. Many customers purchased products for personal use as well as as gifts during my late December 2022 visit. This warm and inviting spot is a favored gathering location for locals to sip, chill, eat and relax and accommodates group gatherings as well.

What a vibe! I was not prepared for how much I'd like this spot. Came in for a tea to go person behind the counter was SUPER helpful, btw, left with a bag of tea for the fall season and some soap. Can't wait to come back and try more. In the meantime, I'm going to shop the online store!

We've loved Calabash since the moment we moved to NE D.C. It is a lovely, cozy, and fresh spot in our community. When we learned that they had done wedding favors in the past, we were so excited. We hadn't planned to do any favors, but Calabash seemed like the perfect gift to share with guests. We did a black tea with roses, similar to Persian tea I grew up with, which was custom. They also let us choose the tea bags and create the label - which we added a custom Spotify QR code to! Our guests LOVED it and we are so grateful for the work Calabash's team put in to get these favors to us in Ohio!

I’ve been a Calabash customer for years and they always deliver on their promise to help me heal. Didn’t know it healing could taste so good, but I love this place. My personal favorite of the Big Poppa tea and that Vegan BLT. My goodness, I could eat those every day. While the shop is a little hike from my home, the online experience keeps me full between visits. Great prices, wide selection and quick shipping. Appreciate y’all, family! Thank you.

When I called to ask if they were open, the owner immediately replied, “Fall through, boo!” And I knew in that moment, I was headed to the right place. From pulling up, to ordering, to sitting in the healing garden, and being accommodated thoroughly, the entire experience was aligned and appreciated. I ordered the BLT per usual because it’s bomb, the Last Good Nerve Lemonade, An Apple Pie scoop, and a Triple Goddess Lemonade. This meal was everything I needed!! I’m 8 months pregnant, and everyone between the guests and staff, went OUT OF THEIR WAY to make sure I was beyond comfortable. I will always be grateful for that. Calabash Tea and Tonic is one for the books! Don’t meet me there, beat me there because it’s that great.

Okay so there’s a way it’s done, you walk in and you land into a different place. The place has a very trippy vibe! The tea guru asked me what kinda healing I needed and based on that improvised a tea that would cater to the kind of healing required It was a different experience and one to cherish! I was delighted to see that my cup read “love is calm” I loved the omega bite and the mix vegetables patty too

Forgot to write my review. I finally got a chance to visit the infamous Calabash Tea and meet the beloved Sunyatta Amen. She was amazingly helpful. It was a long trip, but worth it! It took me a while to rest because of the long trip, but the atmosphere was so relaxing that I dozed off a couple of times while getting myself together. When I finally did get things together, I wanted some of everything. I bought all of the teas that I wanted to try that were discussed in Knubia. I also ordered the vegan BLT sandwich that was really good. I wanted to eat another one, but I knew that I would fall asleep if I did. The Jamaican ginger sorrel was very refreshing. One thing that needed to be made clear was that I was going to be charged for the shots that I thought were samples; my tab was way more than I expected it to be because of that. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and looking forward to my next visit one day. I wish that it was closer to me so that I could visit more often.
