Dobra Tea is a treasure. I am hoping to find a place like it when I return to Vancouver but I doubt I will. This is a full experience. The main tea "bar" is an area just full of all the different herbs and devices for gourmet tea experiences. The attendants are friendly and knowledgeable. The menu is the size... More

The minute we entered the Dobra Tearoom we were greeted by delicious aromas and an exotic atmosphere. This place is created for lingering. Each table has a bell to summon the server. The menu is thick, listing teas from all over the world, as well as unusual foods and desserts to accompany the tea. We ordered bubble tea, which I... More

Having tea at the Dobra Tea House is not just going out for a beverage or snack. It is a peaceful and lovely experience. The atmosphere is restful and relaxing, with beautiful artwork and decor. The menu includes detailed notes about teas from all over the world, as well as delicious snacks and treats. When you are done studying the... More

My son and his fiancee were back to Maine from three years living Prague, Czech Republic. She, being British, loved tea. So we thought we were so cool taking them to Dobra. They laughed-- they often had tea in their sister tea shop in Prague. Small world or what?? In any case, each time they visit now a visit to... More

I've enjoyed the teas on several occasions and always learn more about teas from reading the extensive menu and discussing my selection with the staff. Everyone there has a passion for tea and it shows!

I had never been to a tea house before so I was pretty excited to go here. I wish the server had been a little more inquisitive about us and what we wanted to drink but I guess we could have asked more questions too. Got the masala chai which was delicious and spicy. Got a bubble green tea to... More

I love their bubble tea! I just wish it wasn't quite so expensive--just means I can't make it there as often as I'd like. They sure know a lot about tea! Nice atmosphere; kind of Eastern. You can sit at little tables in a larger dining area or on pillows on the floor in a smaller beaded area.

This is the most unique tea shop I have ever been in. The selection of teas was wonderful and they have recently started offering Bubble Tea. Patrons can sit at tables or on the floor on plush pillows. Lovely!

This tea house is a wonderful spot and I wonder why it does not have more recognition. It may have to do with the fact that it is not a storefront but one of numerous businesses inside a building. Walk inside and be transported into its relaxing ambiance, sit at a table or on Turkish tea mat and sip great... More

My girlfriend and I stopped here by chance when we were visiting for a long weekend. After the first time we came back everyday and sat for at least an hour chatting, snacking and drinking wonderful cups of tea. The employees were very friendly and knowledgeable and spent a considerable amount of time talking to us about their teas. I... More
