Welcome to Dobra Tea East

“ I love Dobra Tea! I’ve been coming to Dobra tea for a few years and each location is unique and has its own feel but always has great quality drinks! I got the Gingerbread Matcha Latte today with oat milk and it is so delicious! I can tell the staff puts genuine care into making the drink. I’ve always had good customer experiences here. ”

“ I love all three Dobra Tea Houses. When I arrived the East location for lunch, they were out of rice, so I couldn’t order a bowl. Instead, I ordered the kale salad, and it was amazing. I also accidentally left my sunglasses at the store, and when I called, the staff kindly set them aside for me. I may not have gotten what I wanted that day, but I got what I needed. Great staff, too! ”

“ This tea house has such a relaxed and chill vibe. Thier tea is prepared and presented to almost whimsical yet professional standards. Wifi is aviable. ”

“ I’m a local and Dobra is one of my top 5 places in all of Asheville! You can’t NOT come here when you visit Asheville. I particularly love the East location because of the cosy fireplace and warm light. Some of my personal favorite teas are the ones in my review (Hojicha black sesame latte, Rize Cay Turkish tea) as well as the Moonlight White, and Blue Magic (this is a MUST do — especially in the summer). There are so many great options but I would recommend going with 1 sweet option (front of menu) and 1 resteepable option from the reverse of the menu. All the pastries are gluten free! And are incredible. Can’t recommend Dobra enough. ”

“ This location is so much more comfortable than the West Asheville location. Great Tea, daughter loves thier avocado toast..I had the hummus toast. Love the tea cake and the vegan s'more They had a mushroom soup special that I was eying...so cannot comment on it but it sounded delicious! Everyone there is always so nice too. Basic menu online and more treasured treats when entering. My birthday is coming up so hope my daughter took notes ”

“ Visited with wife on a quiet Monday during the holiday break. Interior is well done, comfortable and themed well. There's a true extended family feeling here. Bring someone you love and relish the ambiance ”

“ Tucked away like a hidden gem, Dobra Tea is a sanctuary for tea lovers seeking a tranquil escape. From the moment you step inside, the serene atmosphere invites you to slow down and savor the moment. The dim lighting, soft seating, and subtle aroma of steeping leaves create an ambiance that feels worlds away from the bustle outside. The tea selection is nothing short of extraordinary, offering everything from classic black teas to rare, hand-picked oolongs and soothing herbal infusions. The staff, true connoisseurs of their craft, guide you through the menu with expertise—whether you’re looking for a gentle, low-caffeine experience or a bold, energizing brew. Their deep knowledge ensures each guest finds a tea that perfectly matches their mood and preference. One of the highlights I particularly enjoy is the opportunity for multiple infusions. Unlike many places that discard leaves after a single steep, Dobra encourages you to experience the evolving flavors of your tea with each successive pour. The ritualistic element of the experience makes every visit feel special, a moment of quiet mindfulness in a fast-paced world. Beyond the tea, Dobra also offers a selection of vegan-friendly food, thoughtfully curated to complement the flavors of their drinks. Whether you’re nibbling on a light snack or indulging in something more substantial, every bite feels intentional and nourishing. To truly immerse yourself, plan to arrive at least an hour before last call. The experience isn’t meant to be rushed—this is a place where time slows, where each sip feels like a meditation, and where every visit leaves you more refreshed than when you arrived. ”

“ First visit to this location with my daughter. Excellent service, excellent tea. We had Southern Style Tea, Matcha Bubble tea, Some sort of dragon iced tea, the budding flower tea and to eat we ordered a mochi and the vegan cheese plate. Everything was delicious. ”
