The Philosopher's House

"when i first heard about the teahouse, i couldn't picture it because it was such a unique idea. i wondered how the heck was that going to work. but the minute i stepped inside, i knew. it was an all encompassing feeling of comfort and serenity. i'm not even a tea drinker but ren allen has consistently found teas that i actually enjoyed. and the hummus plates are very satisfying, enough for a lunch. i love the big open fireplace room, as well as the cozy, small rooms. i've gone to yoga in the event room upstairs and it is like an oasis from everything else going on downstairs. there are tons of activities and groups meeting here now. it's become a community hub and i can't imagine a better place to chill."

"I cannot express how much I love this place. The team that works here is so friendly and incredibly easy to talk to. They all speak to you like long term friends or family, there's no awkwardness when asking them questions. The house itself is incredibly clean, each room has such an enveloping atmosphere unique to the room's theme. I personally really enjoy the Green Room for the (as I perceive it) druid, forest wanderer vibes it gives off. The music they play is soft and calming. The tea and the food they offer are the real stars. I can easily spend hours in here without even knowing any time has passed. This is a wonderful, rather whimsical place that is amazing for studying, making friends, or just reading. I highly recommend it for everyone."

"I come here as a regular and have membership. I work from home and often come her to do work. Feeling surrounded by people in a nice comfortable atmosphere is great! I don't drink coffee and I'm not a fan of tea , usually, but The Philosopher's House has introduced me to many many teas I truly enjoy sipping on as I work. The Philosopher's House is more than. A tea house it's a space for community. They have tons of sliding scale or even free classes and clubs and work to help the community grow. They have a various rooms some private or semi private and open areas and a Japanese seating area to sit. If you're familiar with Dobra in Asheville, this has a similar vibe but friendlier, homier, and brighter! Haha. Lovely lovely space and I recommend checking it out!!"

"Gorgeous tea room/event space. So many small rooms from which to choose + large community room all thoughtfully decorated with different themes. I had the Summer Love Tea British Teapot serving. Generous size, scrumptious tea + bonus a teakighr candle to keep the tea warm; brilliant!"

"One of our new favorite places! Gorgeous home, wonderful staff, and amazing tea. I like the several private rooms for smaller gatherings. The main room can get a little loud when there’s a big group having a meet up so it’s nice to have other spaces to retreat to. If you’re worried about any noise from the main room, I’d bring some headphones but that just adds to the cozy , personal experience :)"
