"A'Cuppa Tea, located at 2992 College Ave./Ashby Ave. in Elmwood, is a cozy spot to unwind in a plush armchair while enjoying a wide variety of teas. I opted for a boba milk tea, handcrafted with high-quality black tea and real coconut chunks—the owner even showed me how they’re specially stored. Since I’m sensitive to caffeine and hesitant to drink boba tea in the afternoon, I was happy to learn that decaffeinated Earl Grey milk tea is available for later hours. For those unfamiliar, boba tea includes a layer of large tapioca pearls at the bottom, which you drink through an oversized straw. Along with hot teas and coffees, the menu offers a decent breakfast selection—think breakfast burritos or berry scones—and lunch options. I had the lunch special rice bowl with flavorful chicken and stir-fried vegetables. I’ve heard great things about their Thai iced tea and beef noodle soup, too. Additional seating is available upstairs in this small, family-run cafe."

Didn't have tea but i had an awesome smoothie made of mango, kale and a bunch of other green stuff. It was super good
Alec
Best proper tea in Oakland. Can do I sweet and doesn’t burn the leaves, and super nice! Hard to find place with tea done right
Ingrid
Lots of study room, strong wifi, plenty of outlets, and very light music. Great place for working! Plus they have boba and a huge selection of teas. View menu
Andy
The best selection of hot and iced teas I’ve seen in town- also, the owner is incredibly thoughtful and offers helpful suggestions and recommendations!

This delightful restaurant has seating both upstairs and downstairs. Their tea selection is extensive, and the banh mi sandwiches are exceptional! The atmosphere upstairs truly makes you feel like you've been whisked away from the United States.

The owner is such a nice lady and the cafe is so cozy! I love studying here as there is a lot of charging outlets and free, reliable wifi! It's such a relaxing environment! The boba is pretty bad and expensive (hence 4 stars instead of 5) but everything else I've had I've been happy with! View menu

A’cuppa Tea is such an amazing spot that I’m torn about writing this review—I want it to thrive but also hope it doesn’t get too busy, making it difficult for me to find a quiet table to study. The standout features are the delightful owner, the refreshing green mango smoothie, and the cuppa tea salad, which combines crispy cabbage with a tangy lime dressing and fresh mint.

This is a lovely tea spot featuring a cozy upstairs section in the back, perfect for escaping the outside world to study or enjoy a date. The staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere has a wonderfully relaxed vibe. It's another gem in Elmwood that complements the local scene beautifully; you can easily stop by here before or after a movie, grab a light meal, or spend a couple of hours studying. It's definitely one of my favorite places to unwind.
