Estate Tea Co - Gateshead

We have a lovely meal here are a group sharing multiple small plates. A great selection Including lots of veggie options. Excited to return when I can try a cocktail!

Decided to try this out as had passed on bus. Not sure what to expect as I dislike tea. Anyway, met a friend and was vey pleasantly surprised they sell coffee too. We had food which was delicious. I had a pork dish and my friend beef. No complaints at all. Wine was good and they serve a mean gin and tonic. We will definitely return.

On a dot around Heaton we decided to jump into Estate Tea Co for a drink and a snack. The place was near empty when we went (late afternoon) so we had pretty much our pick of tables. The place was clean and with minimalistic décor, but was very nice. We grabbed some menus and had a peruse. The drinks selection was very extensive with a huge range of Chinese teas, some of which I swear I've never seen outside of teas shops in China or Hong Kong. That said, a number of them were crossed out on the menu... The food menu looked decent too, a lot of Asian fusion and influences, however, as we weren't there for food, we simply ordered a couple of drinks and a carrot cake. According to the menu the cakes are from Studio 28 Patisserie which is along Byker way. The cake was very good, moist and ever so moreish. The drinks were also very good. The iced latte was great, a bit on the small size when compared to similar places, but it was so welcome as it was getting a bit warm outside on the day we visited. The chai, on the other hand, was massive, and very, very nice. This is a great place, it looks great, prices are reasonable, and the food menu sounds amazing. We will definitely be back for more.

Been in before to buy tea from here (which is great), but noticed that they do Japanese evening meals. So popped back. Wow glad I did. As well as the selection of excellent teas, they have a diverse food menu which we ordered a selection of dishes to try. I have to say every single thing was amazing. I'd go again and order everything. Just wow find it and go here!

Absolutely outstanding food here. Sourdough bread with avocado, egg, vegan feta pomegranate wow. Lots of added extras a chai tea latte to die for. Decor ambience great. Lovely friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
