The Best Tea Shops in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"The steampunk aesthetic may not be for everyone, but for Oregonians attuned to all things Lovecraft and Jules Verne, there are few spots in the region that hit the spot like ClockWork Rose Tea Emporium in Beaverton. The brass and velvet decor may lean into whimsy, but there’s nothing silly about the serious selection of teas and excellent baked goods on offer. Afternoon tea — by reservation only — also includes things like quiches, pot pies, scones with clotted cream, soup, and salad. ClockWork expands beyond steampunk for special seasonal events like a Mad Hatter Tea Party around April Fool’s, Wizarding Tea around Harry Potter’s birthday (July 31), and Dickensian tea over the December holiday season. Keep an eye out for events on Instagram." - Nathan Williams
