Baicha Tea Room

I am so ecstatic to write this review for the tea room! I had my baby shower here and I cannot believe how wonderful the gal running the shop helped me! The environment is so welcoming and pretty fancy and comfortable. Although parking is a problem, I don’t think anyone hosting an event here would care due to how amazing this place is. When I first started looking for a place for my shower in Edmonds, I was floored at how everyone demanded at least 30 people and $ 20 a plate… Yea… way too much! I had about 10 – 13 people for my shower and there was no plate amount with the tea room. We ordered the sandwiches and a couple other small items and everything was so tasty, we definitely should have ordered more! My mother and I even came back a week later for breakfast and omg, the owner can cook! I would recommend the tea room over any other place in Edmonds for any small get together or just a nice bite to eat. Elegant, cozy and inviting.

Comfortable, peaceful, clean! The décor was lovely and I really appreciated the inclusion of a few English tea treats. Really a great fusion tea house! Everything was delicious and the prices can not be beat!

When looking at the Baicha menu, stick to what it’s known for: THE TEA. Here, the drink is the main player. The food is just basic –nothing spectacular, but a solid to fill your stomach.
I tried Thai tea latte and hojicha latte. The Thai tea latte was a safe choice –though I would have preferred the steep to be longer, more concentrated. It was okay, just okay.
This place isn’t an ideal place for independent study either. It would be great for study groups, as there’s a lower floor you can reserve. Before I ditched to a quiet library, I decided «Damn it, I’m just gonna order something cray and take it go.»
Lo and behold, the hojicha was the best drink I ordered. If you like barley tea, hojicha is very similar in taste. As a latte, you get the sweetness and milky goodness. Satisfying, yes indeed.

This place has two levels to it and a private room downstairs. The décor is nice and I enjoyed my food and tea. Will be back!

I love visiting downtown Edmonds, and this is not a place to be missed. Coffee places with tea as an afterthought are everywhere, but this is a real, dedicated tea shop. There are so many special, unique teas (plus the standards for people who prefer their usuals) that it’s amazing – a true gourmet tea experience. There is a tea menu, explaining the qualities and special benefits of the teas. Order a cup or a pot to share with a friend. Prices are incredibly reasonable for what you get.
I also come here for lunch, as there are lots of yummy, fresh creative choices, from tea sandwiches to panini, soups, salads, you name it. The food is always fresh, delicious and nicely arranged. It’s got a great, relaxing, zen-​like décor on both levels, with a fireplace downstairs. There is lots of light and great window views on the top level. I know I can always take my friends here for a great experience – everyone loves it.
The owner is lovely and goes out of her way to be friendly, customer service oriented, and cares a great deal about the cleanliness and orderliness of her place. She also has accommodated our big regular crochet/​knit group for years by reserving her big central table in the cozy downstairs. She herself works hard waiting on our big party personally and is constantly attentive to all the individual needs of the party. This is going above and beyond normal service, and I am extremely grateful to her for this. You can tell she puts her all into her business, and it shows!

Went here this afternoon for the first time with my boyfriend for lunch and to study. Unfortunately there was a private party downstairs so we weren’t able to get a good table to study at (all big tables upstairs were occupied). Upstairs is quaint and relaxing. Would love to come here on a rainy day. I ended up just getting a quick lunch — Darjeeling tea (cup) and the garden breakfast sandwich (total was $ 12.33…their prices are higher in store than what it says online, just so you know!). Both SO satisfying and more than what I expected. The tea was perfect. Floral, light, and perfect with brown sugar. They tell you to steep it according to the time they say and you get a cute hourglass timer to help you do that. The sandwich plus the salad and fruit it comes with was fresh, filling and all around just so delicious. The owners are super friendly as well. Hopefully next time I’ll get to see and study their downstairs, which I was most excited for.

Quite relaxing and delicious tea! What is there not to love? They are extremely friendly but not overly so. It’s also quiet enough to enjoy as well.

Cute place! My husband wanted to venture out to a tea shop and Trellis was requiring a 24 hour in advance reservation. Bah humbug, I’m not usually that well prepared. Baichan came to the rescue and I felt immediately at home when I walked in. I had to stop myself from taking home five teas in bulk, as my cabinet is already exploding with teas I have yet to drink. We settled on a pot of Ceylon tea, which I thought needed cream but it had a wonderful light flavor that was great on its own… and didn’t leave me with a caffeine headache.
The food was good… we ordered the tea sandwich platter with cucumber cream cheese parsley, tomato butter pesto, and Nutella and green apple. It was served beautifully on a platter with some potato chips and some watermelon wedges. It was satisfying, but nothing that one couldn’t make at home if they had the right ingredients.
Service was attentive and prompt. I will have to come here on a weekend to do work and try other items on the menu and the matcha latté. Glad it’s a close drive from my house!

Extremely clean, lots of natural lighting makes for a really comforting atmosphere. I love their tea sandwiches and their croissant sandwich is one of the best I’ve ever had, genuinely. The matcha latte was amazing as well, they have a few other type of tea latte which I can’t wait to try. This place is really perfect for people who prefer a less heavy breakfast or lunch.
It’s so refreshing to go somewhere with a large high quality tea selection, they take care to give you a timer so it’s seeped just right for the variety you ordered. I’ve lived in the area for over a year and my only regret is that I didn’t find this place sooner!

Wife & I drove from Seattle to Edmonds to visit the Rick Steves Travel Store. Upon reaching Edmonds she said she first wanted to get some tea. I suggested Starbucks and this thought was rightfully quickly dismissed at *$s really hasn’t found a quality tea product despite buying tea companies. Yet driving into Edmonds on the main entry road she spotted Baicha Tea Room. So we stopped for her to get a cup of tea. Upon entering the store we were totally surprised not just by an enormous selection of quality teas but also by an excellent food menu of salads, soups and sandwiches. So instead of just grabbing a cup of tea and leaving we happily sat down for tea with a light meal. Wife had a cup of the special soup of the day which was homemade vegetable and I had the Chicken Cilantro Salad. Both were excellent, fresh and homemade! I was happy to see 3 generations of the owners family behind the counter — a true family business. Spread the word Unilocalers — this is a delicious bite of peaceful relaxation before descending into the tourist frenzy of downtown Edmonds!

Very nice, cozy place. Great selection of teas. They take great care to serve it to you properly, using a Bodum filter and double-​walled glass. I’ll definitely be returning here often.

I’m not a big tea drinker so I wasn’t sure what to order. The barista recommended the matcha green tea latte so I gave that a try. I thought it was just okay. I do like that it wasn’t overly sweet but it had a barley taste that wasn’t to my liking.
Atmosphere was very peaceful and zen. Large open windows. Natural lighting and there’s a downstairs lounge that’s sectional with comfy seats. This place also serves breakfast, lunch and I believe they do tea parties. Which is something I absolutely adore!
Also they offer wellness tea to cure or strengthen any ailments (ie: hangover, sickness, cough, energy, relax).
I will definitely return to try other items.

The interior decoration of this place is the cutest and cleanest I have ever seen, the wifi works well and the lady that owns the place is super friendly, they have so many teas to choose from and a good price an the seating is fancy too! The food menu was actually quite impressive considering I was only expecting tea, they had cookies and omelets and sandwiches and paninis as well.
Not to mention the bathroom was really clean.

This venue has a nice setting for a small get together. I came for a bridal shower.
We had tea and dainty sand witch bites. A Sunday afternoon with the girl friends type of place. The service was good and came with steeping instructions, but I was so and so about the sand witch bites of different spreads. I would recommend to have plans on eating before or after, this is not a place for a full meal.

This place was superb! The atmosphere is amazing and the staff is very helpful. There is actually a downstairs lounging area with multiple rooms and the place is very quaint.
We ordered the green mango indica, a grilled cheese sandwich, tomato soup, and egg sandwich. These items were all very tasty! We will definitely be back. The only drawback I find is their hours of operation. I’d like to enjoy a cup of tea later in the evening, at this place.

Our favorite tea house in the Seattle area, delicious food, great atmosphere & service, and vast assortment of incredible teas. Good for the whole family with a special kid menu with great food and yummy kid tea. Their chai latte is outstanding.
Great for breakfast, lunch, a meeting, or a place to relax and fuel while studying. Among my favorites are the chai latte, the kids menu’s vanilla cream tea, the breakfast sandwich, and the «warm up» tea. I highly recommend this spot.

I don’t know why I’m giving up my secret study spot but this place is too good not to share. They have free wifi, private rooms downstairs, amazing tea (not the tazo stuff in a bag but real loose leaf tea!), tea sandwiches, and everything is affordable. It’s kid friendly so I’ll be taking my little smarty pants here for after school snacks quite often.
This morning I’m having an organic oolong tea with an apple and ham sandwich (crust free). My day will be more productive thanks to this delightful tearoom.

Met up with a few friends of mine here. The finger sandwich plate (where you choose three) was superb! I tried a black currant tea, which was excellent. It’s a cute, quiet place to sit and enjoy tea, and the basement sitting area is a comfortable space to be able to catch up with old friends. I can’t wait to return and try more tea!

Quiet tea room to enjoy time with friends. My friend and I came here for a light lunch and tea. They have a small menu including salads, full sandwiches, and tea sandwiches.
We split a pot of tea (I believe it was the allergy relief w/​peppermint, lavender, and thyme). They have a huge selection of herbals, greens, and blacks. All loose leaf and brought in a pot to steep at your table. As we were both pregnant, we were still able to find a tea that didn’t have no-​no ingredients
We split the tea sandwich platter which had 4 servings each of three different types of sandwiches. They were all really yummy. We highly recommend the BLT. But also had the turkey chives and cream cheese, and also the apple ham.
Would definitely stop by again. Looks small from the outside but I believe there is a bottom floor as well.

My 16 month and I checked out Baicha today and were pleasantly surprised.
I’m certainly not a tea drinker but I’m always open to try just about anything so I asked the owner to select one for me. I asked for a green or a black. She picked the tea and gave my son a much appreciated chocolate chip cookie.
The interior is very nice, much nicer than I expected. The room is finished with soft wood and glass tile. There’s bar seating as well as a handful of tables upstairs, and additional seating downstairs.
The tea was served with a sand-​timer to indicate how long it should steep. As mentioned, I’m definitely a tea rookie, but I thought it was excellent and really appreciated the how fresh it tasted (and the fresh ingredients pictured, opposed to bagged).
They also have a menu of sandwiches and other small bites.
The price was very reasonable and we’ll definitely be back.
