Eli Tea Bar

"This is a really hip place.A nice place where you can read a book and enjoy a really nice beverage. It's a small place so get there early if you want somewhere to sit. They put in big tables recently which seem too big for the place, but provide a little bit more seating. They really need to expand."

"I visited Eli Tea Bar in Birmingham several times and tried some of their most popular teas (Thai Chai, London Fog, etc.). They have a variety of teas unlike other bubble tea shops that only offer a green or black tea base and focus more on the bobas or other ingredients. While they make your order, you can sit at the tables at the entrance or next to the counter/bar, although you have to share them on the weekends or if it’s generally busy. The vendors are nice and help you with your order, if you don’t know what bubble tea you should order. My overall experience there was pleasant and I would happily go there again."

"Their tea was delicious! I also love their interior and customer service."

"This is a chaotic atmosphere, so much going on that it is anything but a peaceful place to relax. The service was great, thankful for the great recommendations. They have some unique options, and offer hot or herbal iced tea. There are very few places that offer fresh brewed tea as iced tea. The herbal traverse city cherry tea was refreshing but did seemed watered down at first, but hot better as I drank it. All the flavor sunk to the bottom."

"I've tried the Turkish Double & the Cheese Tea & love them both. Service hasn't been the friendliest, but she wasn't rude & was pretty busy. We'll definitely come back to try different teas!"
