Bainbridge Apothecary and Tea Shop — Restaurant in Bainbridge Island

A friend and I, who needed to catch up after many years, made reservations for Afternoon Tea at the Bainbridge Apothecary and Tea Shop. It could not have been lovelier. First, Erica (who works in the retail shop; the owner is also named Erica) was gracious and knowledgeable in helping us choose our first pots of tea (unlimited tea is part of the Afternoon Tea!) I chose an apricot green tea, and my friend chose the Cuppa Magic tea. Erica then led us to the little tea house behind the retail shop. The decor is cute and fun, sort of what you would envision from an eccentric but proper Great Aunt. The server, Dalton, brought our tea and answered some questions in a friendly way. Then, the owner, Erica, brought us the requisite three-tiered serving tray filled with little mugs of the most delicious tomato soup, savory tarts, cucumber tea sandwiches, and many tiny, yummy things. She even brought us extra tarts because she felt the others weren't entirely up to par (they were, though). We happily ate everything. When we finished, we returned to the retail shop to take advantage of the 10% discount on tea that comes with the Afternoon Tea service. While we browsed, Carrot Cake, a magnificent orange tabby with a curly tail, graced us with his catly presence. After buying our tea with the expert help of Erica of the Retail Shop, we left, delighted with our experience. I am already making plans to go again Delicious, relaxing,...

Went for their witchy tea event in October. Was expecting a typical high tea experience plus maybe some spider webs and pumpkins for atmosphere, but boy was I pleasantly surprised to be wrong!

Firstly, I had a few people cancel and trouble getting to the tea house on time due to the ferry and felt awful about being late, but the apothecary shop was so gracious and accommodating and it was not a problem with them at all. When we finally arrived, we had an entire private room to ourselves that was completely decked out - I felt like I had stepped into my very own coven house! The server was attentive and the host herself was so kind and knowledgeable about teas! She took time to have a lengthy discussion with us about our experience as well as different teas, it was truly a pleasure to talk to her and visit this fun and amazing tea house. You can tell they were very thoughtful about their choices and were supporting a lot of other local businesses as well.

The apothecary shop itself is also worth visiting - they have a wonderful selection of scents, candles, and tinctures. I ended up buying a wonderful scented oil that I use daily. I will definitely becoming back for their winter solstice event! Can't recommend this...

I stopped by this place really wanting a refreshing iced matcha as it was so hot outside and figured a tea spot would have some. (It also comes up on google as an option when you type in matcha which is what led me here.) This place does NOT have matcha and only serves ONE iced tea option at a time per day. Just FYI! You can’t get any option iced. So I was a little disappointed BUT since I am very into teas, they had so many unique blends that I wasn’t able to stay upset. I bought some small $8 half ounce blends to try out and a tea called Memory for my elder aunt (who loves it). The only sizable downside to their packaging is that it doesn’t say the blends or ingredients in them. Just the names of the tea on a sticker. Would be ideal to include those so we can see what all is in them (no menus or tea descriptions on your website at all which is quite odd or are found on google photos- would have snapped a pic of the menu in person had I known I’d never be able to see what’s in the blends after purchase!). Just a recommendation if you don’t include the ingredients on the packaging would be to maybe add a pdf of your menu to your website or even upload it to google photos for your shop so we can come back...
