A cozy Dupont tea house with creative Pan-Asian comfort plates and standout loose-leaf selections; great for casual lunches and tea dates, with occasional service hiccups and uneven bubble tea.
Teaism Dupont Circle delivers solid neighborhood cafe quality anchored by strong food quality and an exceptional loose-leaf tea program that draws loyal regulars. Inconsistent execution—underseasoned salmon, variable broth precision—and cramped seating during peak hours prevent a higher grade, though quick counter service and charming Dupont Circle setting make it a reliable neighborhood destination for tea enthusiasts and Pan-Asian comfort seekers.
One caveat: Some salmon bentos arrive underseasoned or not hot enough
