When I called to ask if they were open, the owner immediately replied, “Fall through, boo!” And I knew in that moment, I was headed to the right place. From pulling up, to ordering, to sitting in the healing garden, and being accommodated thoroughly, the entire experience was aligned and appreciated.I ordered the BLT (per usual because it’s bomb), the Last Good Nerve Lemonade, An Apple Pie scoop, and a Triple Goddess Lemonade. This meal was everything I needed!! I’m 8 months pregnant, and everyone between the guests and staff, went OUT OF THEIR WAY to make sure I was beyond comfortable. I will always be grateful for that.Calabash Tea and Tonic is one for the books! Don’t meet me there, beat me there because it’s that great.

So I first experience the spots tea at Queen Mothers in Arlington Virginia. I was so elated by the freshness, and outright deliciousness of their products, I took a mental note to go to this spot!! @calabashtea Located at 2701 12th St., N.E. Washington D.C., right on the corner, this spot is emitting a Divine Energy on that whole block!! I had their “Panther Par-Tea”Half-and-Half, and their “My Last Good Nerve” Lemonade (cold) when I first tried them…STAMP!! Their products are made with attention to detail, love, and your well-being in mind… Trust that!!...On this trip I got quite a few things… so let’s get into it. Firstly I copped their Vegan BLT (pictured with their house made coconut bacon $6.99). STAMP!! It has house made coconut bacon!! It’s the BEST faux bacon I’ve ever had!!..Next I copped their Veggie Patty (pictured soy free with cabbage, corn, carrot, curry, onion, and garlic $3.99). DELICIOUS!! It reminds me of a pot pie...I also couldn’t resist getting their sweet potato pie bite & the cherry pie bite (both pictured at $3.99 each). For these to be vegan, they’re ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!..Their chilled tea’s, I got, were all $4.99 each (All pictured). The Triple Goddess Lemonade has Organic Jamaican ginger, Sri Lankan Tumeric, Thai Galangal, & South African Red Bush. It’s a immunity booster, & inflammation fighter. STAMP!!.The Love Potion Chai has a high grade Assam Black tea, Jamaican Ginger, Madagascar Vanilla, Ceylon cinnamon, oat milk, Love, and Chai spices in it!! It’s a feel good tea, a mental stability tea, a LOVE tea…oh and it’s ridiculously tasty!! STAMP!!.I got their Jamaican Ginger Sorrel too. This has organic hibiscus, Jamaican Ginger, Thai lemongrass, Orange Zest, Jamaican Spices, and LOVE!! It’s a detoxifier & a blood pressure regulator!! STAMP!!.Lastly I got their My Last Good Nerve tea…hot!! It has organic lavender, outstraw, Passionfruit, rosehip, LOVE, and I got oatmilk put in it. This tea eases anxiety…STAMP!!.The customer service in establishment is excellent. The store is clean. Their website is easy to navigate. Parking is decent. GO!! That’s it.#bigschlimsreviews

When you walk into this lovely shop, you are immediately welcomed with a burst of positivity energy. The tea gurus spent time with my friend and I to understand what type of healing we were in need of. He then suggested tea blends based on our needs. They are patient, kind and the teas & lemonades are very tasty

I wanted to give this place four stars but I am going to give this place another try next time, because I’m sure they were having a bad day. but when I was asking some questions I felt like the barista didn’t really want to help or explain any of the tea’s into detail or maybe he wasn’t knowledgeable about any of the tea’s. But I did like the vibe and how beautiful the restaurant was. I really love their love potion it’s my most favorite drink

I finally was able to visit the store and I must say my expectations were meet. From the initial greeting to checkout. The owner is and absolute sweetheart. She recommended a few items and gave me information that was needed. I have only used my products yesterday after purchasing but this morning I feel rejuvenated. I will be visiting again very soon.

Great outdoor garden to eat and relax. The best teas.

Went in to celebrate a a fantastic job interview and the staff was great. Had no idea what I wanted and ended up with the My Last Nerve Tonic (delicious) and they suggested two kinds of pie bites (cherry ginger or strawberry rhubarb). Spoiler alert, I got both and they stood UP. Def going to be scheduling time to go here more often.

After rave reviews from my son who is an advid customer, I decided to see what the hype was. AMAZING!!!!! The atmosphere was wonderful and the customer service was top notch. My son and I decided to support this small business at their grand reopening at their new location. The food was amazing and very flavorful. Did I mention the customer service???? I will recommend this place to everyone.

Wonderful place. Great spot. Great food and coffee

I have been going to Calabash since Undergrad at Howard University, and their new location has the exact same flavors, service, and spirit of the other. Their tea does whatever you need it to. With a wide array of teas with medicinal benefits for your mental, physical and spiritual well being, and a long tradition of herbalists running the establishment.Come and be HEALED!

Calabash is one of my fav places in DC. The tea is amazing, the environment is warm and welcoming and the service is A+. They haven’t been names Best in DC for Tea for no reason. I recommend grabbing a veggie patty, a Love Potion or Last Good Nerve Lemonade and top it off with their new watermelon peach cobbler. Check out the tea to go, spices and my fav the vegan bacon. The outdoors patio garden gives all the feels. Hope you enjoy.

Attended a waist bead pop up shop here awhile back. Really love the intimate atmosphere. People from all walks of like (it seemed) congregate for good conversation, great tea and pretty good food. Vegetarian options available...some vegan options as well. Many different varieties of tea. Be prepared. If you don’t know what you want, they will do an “assessment” of sorts. Ask you what you’re thinking about or experiencing. This helps them design the best beverage for you. 😊 My only issue. Parking. But the Shaw metro is right down the street.

Going to Calabash is something I do INTENTIONALLY now, because I consider it to be an experience. When I think of a place to relax, unwind, and enjoy some good tea, this is my first choice. Yes was my second time there and it was just as good as the first. I love the way the hosts greet you: How can we heal you today? Theyre very patient with helping you choose a tea that serves your needs for the day. I love that, because it encourages mindfulness by helping you think about what you need in the MOMENT. Its a good thing that theyre helpful and patient because theyre a lot of options to choose from. However, it doesnt feel overwhelming because the hosts are informed enough to guide you to a beverage that you will enjoy.The environment is also a major part of the Calabash experience. Everything from the decor and design to the music and energy are a part of what makes the space feel warm and comfortable. I always see all different types of people in the space and everyone seems to feel like they are at home.I recommend you visit and try it for yourself. I even bought some loose leaf blends to enjoy at home and take some of the magic of Calabash with me. It wont replace the experience but it will hold me over until the next visit!

EXPERIENCE. I’d give 6 stars if I could. This place offers more than tea. When you walk in, they ask how they can make you feel today - not “what tea do you want?” The staff is extremely kind, friendly, and attentive. Believe the hype. The tea is great, but the experience is phenomenal.

Great vegan place recommended by a stranger. We were impressed since we dont usually try places like this often

This place is awesome! the healing and welcoming vibe pours from the space. every detail- from the food options, products, and design of the space- feels intentional and full of life and spirit. i really enjoyed the last good nerve lemonade and the veggie patty, and already the holy trinity tonic and root chakra tea have become a part of my standard wellness rotation :) been recommending in every conversation i’ve had since! thanks Sunyatta + team

This teahouse is nothing short of amazing!!! One of my favorite places in DC! The owner is sweet, knowledgeable, and passionate about wellness, the staff is warm and gracious, and the overall vibe of the place is rich and inviting. All of the teas are hugs in a cup, and the food is delicious (especially the vegan BLT and coconut curry soup)! Try their freshly baked breads with your tea!

I ordered looseleaf tea from Calabash and it’s so good! In particular, Blue Velvet is a really well-done tea. The aroma and flavor are lovely. I pull it out almost every afternoon for a cup! I’ll be trying more types in the near future!

What a refreshingly beautiful place to discover when strolling in the U Street / Howard University area. Besides the peaceful and relaxing environment that is so meticulously designed with Afro-centric themes, the food and drinks are clearly health-centered. When I was greeted for my order, the worker asked, how can I heal you. When paying, he said, the exchange of energy will be $5.25. The exchange was genuine and authentic. Try the kombucha and their home-made herbal healing teas ... or better yet, have them mix them!

First of all, Calabash has the BEST Chai in DC! Hands Down. Sunyatta is also an amazing healer; her teas can sooth any ailment you can think of. Ive been a regular since 2016. I come here to experience natural flavors that are out of this world. This black owned business never ceases to amaze me with its creative array of products that should be a staple in everyones pantry.

Need some tea with a splash of care and love this is your place. The vegan options for food are made to order and flavorful too. Grab a seat with a book and get lost in this welcoming space. Parking is no issue which makes it even better!

Great place to come lounge and relax. Living room ambiance with vegan/organic food & tea selection. Ive been here twice & both times had a great experience. Soki was knowledgeable of the menu & knows what to serve you upon what mood you feel & want to feel. The Sammy BLT is one of the best sandwiches I had in a long time, I wished it would never end! Definitely one of my new go to places.

I would consider myself a tea connoisseur because I am an avid tea drinker for the positive health reasons. Calabash Tea is absolutely a world-class tea destination for tea lovers. The owner is an expert in tea and wellness. You get more than just a cup, but an entire experience from the ambiance that makes you feel like you stepped into another country all the way to the friendly team that works there.I am a huge supporter of local and small businesses everywhere. Being from the DMV area, Calabash Tea is a small, woman-owned local business. She is a magician in holistic health. All I can say is whether you are passing through or live in the area, it’s a great space to sit and enjoy some serenity.

The establishment and the bites are a great combination of a plethora of cultures and options culminating in a cornucopia of palette-pleasing treats. No, I was not paid to write this. Went here and a stop off for a beginning to an awesome date with my wife. We had the love potions and some his and hers shots that were spicy and sweet. Had zucchini bread, beef patty and veggie patty with chai tea. Ambiance, smell, mood, decor and of course the food were really in sync making for a pleasurable experience. Almost euphoric. Worthwhile visit. Will be back.

This tea shop has instantly became one of my favorites in the city. It has so much personality and so many different specialty drinks. They offer a plethora of loose leaf tea as well as oils, desserts and even some beef patties. The staff here is great and the specialty teas are all so unique. They have some couches you can sit on and just lounge around and also some tables but the place is very small overall.

Lovely place, chia tea, delicious vegan food, friendly hospitality

Very nice chill place to catch up with a good friend. I got a really tasty chai and a slice of pound cake. The staff is super friendly and patient with indecisive first-timers :) Its like hanging out in your friends living room with other neighbors and that one creepy guy who stays there for a while but doesnt say anything. The sofas and chairs could use some upholstery help but that just adds to the charm.

Tea was awesome, purchased the desert rose chai and the earl grey and love them both. Staff was nice and helpful, i used the local pickup and called when i arrived. Staff was very nice. i will be back!

Worth the price! This place is cozy and comfortable. The staff really take care of their customers and will talk to you about any questions you have. The space is so welcoming its hard not to feel instantly calm when you enter. They also have an extensive selection of teas AND THE BEST VEGAN GF COOKIES. (Ask them to warm it up- it was so good)

I went here to meet my friend for afternoon tea while nursing a Hangover. The service was nothing short of amazing. They served me tea based on how I was feeling....weird? Nope, it just means they care about how you feel. They have different tea combinations from probiotics (if you are having tummy problems), to flu and cold remedy teas. They also have a selection of vegan, vegeterian and regular snacks.The lounge area can be crowded ( this place is popular), but also cozy. On Sundays they usually have 1 or two vendors selling hand made or vintage goods (which make great gifts).Incase you want some alone tea time and forgot your book, there are stacks of books around the lounge area. I love love love this place.

The most awesome tea experience I have ever had.

The staff here is amazing- I was recommended to come in and tell them what i was feeling and they would make a tonic to set me right. They made a stress calming tea Latte with almond milk. It was lovely and the owner is lovely as well. I stayed for about 40 minutes and chatted with her while I charged my phone and sipped my tea.

Awesome local Jamaican herbal tea spot! Great vibes. 🇯🇲

Excellent customer service! This pandemic has had such a horrible impact on pretty much everything; receiving mail and deliveries has been so frustrating, because the postal service has been so backed up.. I ordered some seamoss from Calabash Tea and it was stuck in the mail for almost 3 weeks - I reached out to Calabash regarding my order.. their customer service was right on top of it! Calabash responded quickly, and they sent me a new package with no questions asked - and included free tea! When I finally received my first order they gracefully told me to keep both orders. How awesome is that? They went out of their way to make things right. I will absolutely be ordering from them again, they have earned my admiration, trust and gratitude. Thank you Calabash Tea 🥰❤️

Omg the best vibes and energy in here. The staff were so helpful with picking it teas and making drinks. Everything is affordable and just omg it’s amazing. Big ups to Ali for making our visit amazing!!

This truly is a gem of society.. they have a terrific selection of teas.. order online!!!

Great ambience, great people, great tea, great food. It was our first time, they were very helpful and explained everything!

Warm, friendly service and delicious chai and tea/coffee blends. I always feel at peace here

Cute café near Howard University. The menu is full of unique teas all curated to help with healing. The staff is well versed on the products and has all the answers. The space isn’t big so be prepared to sit close with strangers. The decor is vibrate full of color but relaxing at the same time. Calabash is a must if you love tea or just need a cool space to chill out for a few hours.

Great presentation of food. Services was great. Food was fresh and delicious.

So you walk in and they ask you how your feeling... And they actually care about your answer. They then recommend the perfect blend of teas and herbs to help you feel great. This place is one of my favorite spots to go to get my energy right. Plus the sweet love notes on my tea and delicious vegan food (Im not even vegan and I love their food) is a great bonus.

I have ordered their teas several times online and fallen in love with the Idris chocolate chai. Prompt service and great products. Last time I ordered the warehouse sent the wrong product...I got a phone call from the concerned, pleasant owner who made things right immediately, AND the Root Chakra tea that I accidentally got...? Now my FAVORITE of all time. Great customer service and professionalism. Cant recommend enough!!

Delicious! First time in and was greeted like I was a regular, barista was more then helpful answering my questions about their food options. My tea (matcha mica latte with added chocolate) was wonderful and just the correct amount of sweet!

I can only say good things about this tea house, many many varieties of tea. The bake goods are good, the staff genuinely good people and it shows. Love the ambience (to me it promotes good vibes, good health and harmony).With every chance I visit D.C., I will make an effort to go there. Lastly I would encourage anyone who loves tea to check them out. You won’t regret it.

Great food & beverage. Dynamic staff & atmosphere.

How do you wanna feel? Is the question you will get at this awesome tea spot. Great lounge area and good vibes and snacks at this place

I love love love this PLACE. IM HIGH ON TONIC AND TEA NO MARIJUANA NEEDED. MY PAIN IS GONE. I AM DELIVERRTTTT. GIVE THANKS.

There are always great vibes in Calabash Tea & Tonic. The Vegan BLT Sammie is delicious and Im sort of addicted to it. You can get tea based on your mood, a crystal/stone to protect your energy, sit and read a book or just sit and enjoy the vibes. Its a lovely environment.

I adore this shop! All amazing teas, delicious treats, and good energy.

Wonderful people.

Wonderful staff and very unique assortment of teas.

A bustling, hip, energetic space filled with eclectic local art. A fun place to take a friend or hang out alone. There’s an expansive menu of blended teas, and the staff will ask you how you’re feeling and give recommendations accordingly. I tried the all night long tea and really enjoyed it - very refreshing! I appreciated that the blends are available for purchase and that you can smell them from sample jars. The tea is all loose leaf but is bagged for you, which is nice as you can steep for however long you’d like.

My favorite vegan and soy free place to recharge!! The food, staff, and atmosphere remind me of my Aunts house. Healing.

Still taking online orders- totally amazing tea- my go-to gifts and also the reason there is no longer cabinet space in our kitchen.

This is my favorite neighborhood go-to place for a quick bite to eat, great vibes and atmosphere, and they even have great small gifts for purchases. The patties are literally the best in the city! Spinach or mixed veg! They’re not flaky and hard, but melt in your mouth. The pies are equally amazing. I’ve probably tried each one! Winter berry is my favorite but you won’t be disappointed! I recently tried the soup! Im definitely a fan on everything here so you should definitely stop in and check out this neighborhood gem!

Friendly and knowledgeable tea choices, and some delicious vegan snacks available! Cant wait until you return fully to us!

I placed an order for delivery for the yoniverse tea and a bottle of tonic from Calabash. I received my order within two days, which I truly appreciated. However,when I opened the packageI noticed the tonic had spilled in the package. The tonic did not have the plastic shrink band around it, so almost half of it had spilled. I immediately emailed the company and have yet to receive a response. I am disapppointed by the lack of customer service regarding online orders. I presume that this is a large portion of their business due to the current climate; therefore addressing packaging issues and customer conerns is vital.

Loved Calabash! The owner is an herbalist with passed down generational knowledge. They staff makes suggestions of teas, etc based-on how you are feeling or any symptom you make be having. Its a social lain- back kinda scene for all people.

How can I heal you? is how I was greeted by the owner of this beautiful and relaxing shop. After asking me a series of questions I ordered the beverage that was recommended. It was wonderful and exactly what needed! Calabash Tea and Tonic has cultivated a truly beautiful and peaceful environment within its walls. The owner is truly an alchemist, creating delicious concoctions that everyone should enjoy. I can not wait to visit DC again and this time I will be sure to try the vegetarian Jamaican patties!

Great teas and atmosphere!

The energy in the space is amazing and without too much explanation she exactly what I needed!

This is one of my favorite tea/coffee places and I can’t wait until they reopen. I buy from them online nowadays and they have great prices for tea online!

Great tea! Very nice people. Love it!

Love this teahouse and the informative and healing offering they have. The owner is warm and knowledge and the staff is all wonderful as well, definitely becoming more of a regular! See more about places in DC at asithappens.co

Amazing experience every time. There is a positive and peaceful energy every time I go to calabash!

A great tea shop. They help you choose your tea based on your mood which can be a little different for first timers. The tea is also delicious and the ambience cant be beat for fostering conversations.

This place feels like home, the servers tell you how much your *energy exchange* is and its refreshing. Its cozy, the positive energy is unmatched, and they attract artists, entrepreneurs, and good people all around.Their tea selection is otherworldly and so good for your body. Definitely a favorite.

I have tried a handful of teas and theyre all so yummy. Each tea has a purpose full of goodness.

I try to come here every time I go to DC. Its delicious and well worth the trip.

Small but charming tea shop with coffee, sandwiches and bakery items. Menu is 95% vegan. Super nice staff. Terrific chai. Kind of pricey. Card only. No cash.

“My last good nerve” latte was absolutely beautiful. The aroma of lavender, the smooth and creamy texture....the endearing message on the top of my beverage was all so intimate and caring. The kindness, good vibes and positivity in the space almost brought me to tears. Wonderful teas, fantastic flavors, and excellent service!

So Ive been struggling with my energy levels at work but Im not a coffee drinker. A friend suggested that I try some teas here for energy. I decided to go in with my mug and to have them suggest something to help. The staff was INCREDIBLY friendly and knowledgeable about what could help me. The ladies made me a cup of their All Night Long and mixed it with their Jamaican Ginger Sorrel. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! My energy levels absolutely came back while I enjoyed this sweet, herbal cup of greatness. I sat in the shop for about an hour chatting with the staff, enjoying the music, and just the all around great vibes that the place gives you. I ended up buying both teas and have been using them at work for the past 6 months and even my coworkers have noticed my energy levels now! Im a forever fan and have recently decided to expand the All Night Long to mix with their other teas such as the Raspberry Beret.

Excellent vegan options and plenty of them.Super nice and knowledgeable staff.Very cool atmosphere.The Jamaican hibiscus ginger tea is to die for and they have an amazing selection of teas!Great pies and other sweets!

Love this place.While I havent tried the tea (shame on me, right?), I have tried quite a bit of the food. While some of it is a little pricey (like the cookie I am addicted to that costs 4 or 5 dollars), the people are so kind, the atmosphere so cozy and the taste of the food just incredible every. single. time. So, its well worth the expense and it always feels good to invest in small business.I highly recommend Calabash and am happy to be becoming a regular.

I love it! The food is healthy and delicious and the decor is fabulous too!The drinks are the real stars of the show. They are super healthy tonics that blended with the calm, zen like ambience of the cafe, work to rejuvenate mentally, spiritually and physically!

A very calming place to gather with friends, do some studying or work, or just chill alone. Once you enter into this space, all of the chaos from outside becomes silent. The care and attention that is put into the brewing of the teas are felt with every taste.

This place is a must visit! The vibe is totally on chill. The staff is top notch and food on point. A unique experience I would revisit!

Hey gang, here I am relaxing at the new Calabash in Brookland. Like its sister Calabash downtown this Calabash is also filled with good spirits, wonderful staff who are very knowledgeable about their tea and herbs, and very welcoming. The decor is absolutely scrumptious and very exotic. As always their vegan selections are fresh and delicious. Fabulous place to kick back and relax and let the stress release.

I adore Calabash. They have so much tea, and many yummy vegan options. I highly recommend the vegan Veggie Jamaican patty. It is incredible and always even better than I remembered when I order it again.One note of caution: There is St Johns Wort in some of their teas and tonics. This ingredient can not only interact with some medications, but may also have negative effects on anyone with mood disorders. I do wish Calabash would either add a note about this, or make sure anyone ordering is aware. It is listed in the teas, but not for the tonics. I had to ask about a tonic last time. The server assured me there was no St. Johns Wort in it, but I insisted on reading the ingredients, and it was actually included.

I go get the mouth spray there and it helps with my migraines, I know it sounds crazy but its true. I also enjoy the veggie patties and tea. It has a cute aesthetic if you want to catch up with friends or do independent work.

This is one of the first places I visited when I moved to DC from Oakland/Berkeley, and it made me feel so at home. From the cozy bohemian decor, the hanging lamps and the ever-welcoming greeting, how can we heal you today? Im a lifelong fan. Its one of the first places I recommend to my friends and family when they visit. A perfect place to chill after a long day of touring or if you want a home away from home with friendly strangers. And I always get a warm welcome from Sunyatta, Ali, and the rest of her team. The best vegan BLT Ive ever had and the most decadent vegan cookie . Calabash4ever

Awesome tea house with great vegan food options. I sincerely hope, and can’t wait, until they are able to reopen. They are missed!

Wonderful place, eat one of everything! Nourished, restored and a bit pampered too. Thanks to all the staff they are all there to make you feel better than when you walked in. Collard greens and black eyed pea soup, DAMN! Eat some now. The Drop it like its hot sauce was a great heat with massive flavor, please bottle that stuff! Thank you again!

This place is so much more than a tea shop. It truly is a healing experience being in the space with all the positivity and kindness. It fills my heart every time I am there. Please, please do yourself a favor and visit the crew at Calabash...

This is easily the best place to write in the city. It’s creative energy in the form of a coffee shop. The staff is always friendly and extra helpful. I’ve been there multiple times and I’ve yet to have anything close to a bad experience. Keep up the amazing work!

A wonderful sanctuary in the city. The staff are all very friendly, and quite knowledgeable about the various teas and treats served here. Truly, this is an oasis of healing nestled away where stress melts as you enjoy soothing tonics and wholesome snacks. Its not hard to see why this establishment has been so highly regarded for so long. A true gem of the District.

Hands down the best tea shop in the DMV. Youre greeted to warm and kind staff who are attentive to your needs. Feeling a bit under the weather? Theres a tea for that! The food is delicious and 100% vegan friendly. I got nothing but love for this fantastic establishment that has really cemented itself as a Shaw icon.

Calabash tea & tonic is truly one of a kind. I live in NYC and still order all their products monthly. When I first met Sunyatta (the owner) she introduced me to a world of mental and physical health with her passion and knowledge for her business. Ive tried almost every kind of tea and have a different positive experience every time. Im a big believer in law of attraction, and Calabash draws in all types of people from different backgrounds on different health journeys to align with the same goal. If you think you cant get a buzz from her products you heard it here first. I love a good martini to relax, but when you have work at 8 AM its not a smart move! Trade it in for My good last nerve and youll see a wonderful difference ;). Not to mention the stores themselves have amazing staff who write unique hand written affirmations on your purchase every day. I love the energy, passion and of course the organic, healing tea’s and tonics calabash has to offer!

We found this one on Yelp with good reviews. It did not disappoint! We love their teas…After brunch one Sunday my boyfriend and I didnt want to head home just yet and decided to look for a legit coffee shop near.

Awesome!!! I love the space! &the tonics and teas are amazing♡♡♡

Calabash is my favorite place in DC. The teas, tonics, foods and community are fabulous. They are a loving and joyful tribe and I’m happy to be a part of it. However you are feeling, they have something for you. I Enjoy the soups, energy bowls and sweets! If you are gluten free or vegan, they have plenty for you. I’ve come in with migraines and they give me something to ease the pain. Come to Calabash. 😊

Fabulous tea place - great atmosphere, excellent selection of tea, friendly staff with good recommendations for tea.We could certainly use such a great tea house in Princeton ;-)

The people working there were so pleasant and welcoming! I also really enjoyed the spinach patty and the vegan apple pie. :)

Amazing cute spot! I love the energy and the staff is so sweet! I took the Holy Trinity shot and immediately felt the results of joy taking over. I don’t generally like tea but I loved the love potion #10! Great job owners and staff!

A sacred spiritual oasis in the midst of the nations capital! The ambience, art, decor, the food and drinks, and the staff who serve are ALL Amazing!! If I were to have a complaint ... and I dont (smile) ... I would want this place to be larger so I could bring more friends with me to chat, chill, and raise consciousness in DC! But its all good... One person at a time, one drink at a time, one soulful visit at a time!! *Namaste*

Very cool/hip tea house. Very friendly staff (really, super nice!). Unique blends and lots of choices. Didnt order any food, so cant speak to that part.

If you need to get your inner vibe right, then this is the spot for you. Expert tea blenders serve dual roles: apothecary and bartender! The customer service is some of the best youll find in all of DC! Also, their vegan snacks are pretty darn tasty (try the vegan BLT). Since I work nearby, I get my healing fix on a regular basis. For that, I am truly grateful.

We need more places like Calabash. This place is pure light and love.The drinks are super delicious and healthy, and made with love :)

There is something exceptionally beautiful about this place. Everything is made with love and good intentions. The teas are absolutely amazing. My One Good Last Nerve is so refreshing, calming and healing. The food is delicious. Calabash is good for your soul. The owner and her staff are incredibly warm and lovely people. I cant think of a better place to go to relax, sip some tea, and enjoy some great conversation.

Extensive menu of teas but to get the best experience? Go to the counter and tell them how you feel and let the talented staff work their magic. They picked a pair of teas out that neither of us would have picked on our own and both were fantastic and exactly what we needed. Will be back soon.
