O-Cha Tea Bar

O-Cha Tea Bar is a cozy tea bar in Yaletown that focuses on loose leaf teas from around the world, with daily soups and light snacks on the side. It is a small, affordable spot that works best for grab-and-go visits since seating is limited.

The signature drink is the Cold Blaster, a strong black tea mixed with citrus, honey and cayenne pepper that regulars order on cold days. It is served very hot, so let it cool before your first sip.

No, it is a budget-friendly spot with inexpensive prices. The casual menu of tea blends and snacks is priced to be enjoyed without overspending.

Probably not for long sessions, since the space is small with limited seating and the vibe is grab-and-go. It is better for a quick tea stop in Yaletown than for settling in with a laptop.
