Pillion Tea 42 West Biddle Street, Baltimore, MD 21201

"My favorite tea shop in Baltimore with some of the best loose leaf selection in the area! The cafe is a perfect work/study spot, I’ve always had great interactions with the baristas. I love the innovative seasonal offerings and lovely array of little treats as well, usually from neighborhood bakeries! Also a huge fan of the website, meticulously updated and full of details fir those newer to the world of tea. Something for everyone, even a typical non-tea drinker. Pop in!"

"Great selection of loose leaf teas that the team helped me choose from that come in reusable containers! Hot chocolate was great with the muffin, definitely recommend stopping by to support this shop!"

"Amazing tea selection! The barista is very knowledgeable about them and excited to recommend different teas. WiFi and outlets available at most seats. I love that they have reusable glassware for dine-in and disposable cups for take-out. Very cozy and welcoming atmosphere for productive working/studying."

"#1 tea shop in the DMV, hands down. Honestly, it's the best kept secret in Baltimore and truly a GEM! Even more so, the owner is so active in supporting the community and honestly is an unsung hero. Stop by for the best tea you'll ever have, tasty treats, a productive work environment, and browse the awesome books available there as well."

"I wish I didn't work night shift so much, otherwise I'd come here more often. It's a unique hole in the wall location, a rare find in Baltimore that everyone should go to for tea. Super zen place with enough seating and internet is available for customers, I think. Staff also very friendly, informative, and patient - they had great calm energy. They sell vegan desserts and snacks, but not made in house - I think they have a partnership with a bakery. Absolutely amazing tea - if you like variety, this is the place. They have a rotating menu of seasonal drinks, and this time they had Sakura themed drinks and I had to try the Matcha Amazake soda after I saw it on their Instagram (see the two toned drink below). So delicious and refreshing - not as sweet as I thought it would be. My friends both got the Salted Sakura drink, served hot, and it was very pleasant and also very visually appealing. High quality, clear flavors in their tea, cannot recommend enough."
